Catheter designer — construction & materials
Define the clinical use, anatomical access and mechanical constraints of your catheter. The tool recommends a construction family and candidate materials by segment, based on Protobrix engineering expertise.
Recommended catheter construction
Does this recommendation match your project?
Protobrix turns this orientation into a validated design: final grade selection, comparative testing on your geometry, V&V-ready design dossier, functional prototypes in under 7 days.
All 5 families scored
Scores combine intrinsic properties (fixed per family) and contextual adjustments from your answers. Intrinsic scores shown for 5 key criteria.
| Construction family | Score vs best | Pushability | Torque | Kink R. | Lubricity | Burst | Notes |
|---|
This 8-step wizard takes you from clinical procedure and anatomy to recommended construction (braid, coil, hypotube) and candidate materials by segment.
Built on Protobrix engineering expertise from custom catheter development.
Reinforcement options: stainless steel braid (304/316L), nitinol coil, tungsten radiopaque, polyimide hypotube.
Anatomical access references: neuro (carotid → ICA), peripheral (femoral → SFA/popliteal), structural heart (transfemoral → TAVI).

Your inputs and results stay in your browser. We only record anonymous usage (number of calculations, duration, source) to improve the tool.
Want to discuss your project?
Material recommendations are starting points based on typical clinical use and engineering practice. Polymer grade, durometer and processing windows must be validated for your specific application.
Material grade selection, multi-segment construction, supplier qualification? Our catheter engineers can help — from concept to small-series.

We'll get back to you within 1 business day. A confirmation has been sent to your inbox.
Leaving without a result? That's useful to know. In one line — what were you looking for that the tool didn't give you? It helps us make it better.
Thanks for using the tool. If it saved you time, two quick things that genuinely help us:
