U-HANDLE
U-Handle: Universal Catheter Actuator Handle for Medical Device Testing
Accelerate the development of your catheter delivery system with the ProtoBrix U-Handle: a universal, off-the-shelf catheter handle designed for rapid prototyping and testing. Stop wasting time on custom handle design: the U-Handle lets you focus on your device’s clinical function, not on reinventing hardware.
Engineered for R&D engineers, this modular actuator handle is ideal for steerable catheters, transcatheter valves, and other minimally invasive delivery systems. By providing precision control out-of-the-box, the U-Handle helps you validate your concept faster and with greater confidence.
🔧 Key Features:
Dual actuator system: Front and rear actuators with selectable stroke lengths (80 mm, 100 mm, or 120 mm) provide precise push-pull control of two concentric components – perfect for simulating sheath and implant deployments.
Steerability-ready: The front actuator connects to a deflectable catheter section for advanced steering and navigation simulations during testing.
Broad compatibility: Supports catheter shafts from 4 Fr up to 36 Fr in diameter, covering a wide range of prototype sizes and interventional applications.
Guidewire integration: An optional central lumen accommodates a guidewire or delivery cable, accessible via a rear port, to replicate over-the-wire delivery techniques.
Robust, ergonomic design: Durable 3D-printed construction with a sleek form factor ensures reliability in bench tests and comfortable handling during preclinical evaluations.
What’s in the box?
Shipped as a ready-to-assemble kit. The actuator housing and internal mechanisms come pre-assembled – simply insert your specific tubing or shafts (outer and inner) using the provided instructions. Assembly is quick and straightforward, so you can start testing in minutes.
Fast Availability & Custom Options:
In-stock configurations ship in under 7 days, so you can rapidly outfit your project.
Need something special? Custom stroke lengths or setups are available on request to fit unique requirements.
Why Choose the U-Handle?
Save development time: Avoid the delay and expense of designing a custom handle from scratch.
Accelerate validation: Quickly build a functional prototype of your implant delivery system and iterate faster.
Impress your stakeholders: Present a realistic, working device to team members, investors, or partners – instantly boosting your project’s credibility.
