WHY LASER CUT?

Laser cutting gives engineers an edge over
traditional braided systems.

Thin walled nitinol, stainless steel and cobalt chrome laser cut hypotubes.

LOW PROFILE

Thin walled hypotubes maximize the inner lumen while maintaining the strength needed for your device.

Customized laser cut hypotubes by Symmetry Laser.

CUSTOMIZATION

LCHT are fully customizable simplifying the catheter layup and enabling a truly variable flex profile with smooth transitions.

Laser Cut Hypotubes have superior ovality compared to braided or coiled catheters.

OVALIZATION

LCHT provide a superior product in terms of ovalization around a tight bend.

TORQUE

LCHT can be optimized to have a 1:1 torque response while maintaining a customizable and flexible profile.

KINK RESISTANCE

LCHT can drastically improve kink performance when compared to traditional braided catheters and coils.

Welding and Electropolishing for Laser Cut Hypotubes for Simplified Catheter Manufacturing.

SIMPLIFIED MFG

LCHT can dictate the flex profile of your catheter, eliminating the need for multiple polymers, drastically reducing the manufacturing time and cost of your device.
