Avoiding Pitfalls in Development of Advanced Custom Extrusions

The custom medical extrusion industry is growing in all directions. The push to be minimally invasive is pushing devices to be smaller and smaller. Cutting-edge raw materials are constantly being reformulated to enhance or create new mechanical and biologic characteristics in the function of the part. In short, the matrix of technologies integrated into today’s catheters and devices has become increasingly complex, and subsequently interpreting quality is becoming more challenging for all parties either producing the component parts or using the parts.
