Catheter Manufacturing Automation Solutions
Creating custom high-precision catheter assembly automation systems for the world’s leading medical device makers.
Catheter manufacturing presents unique challenges- from managing long, flexible components and tight tolerance stack-ups to validating complex bonding and coating processes in regulated environments. As products evolve and volumes scale, maintaining yield, repeatability, and compliance becomes increasingly difficult.
PAR Systems designs and delivers custom catheter manufacturing and inspection systems engineered specifically for these challenges. Our platforms support complex, high-volume production for leading OEMs in cardiovascular, neurovascular, and urology applications.
Tailored Systems for Every Stage of Catheter Production
PAR builds custom catheter automation systems to support the full catheter production lifecycle including:
- Bulk handling, singulation, and transport of long, flexible catheter components
- Precision laser cutting and length control
- Thermal and laser-based bonding processes
- Tip assembly and forming (ball tipping, doming, alignment)
- Hydrophilic coating application and curing
- Inline functional testing (dimensional, defect, leak, and burst testing)
- Final assembly and packaging (coiling, pouch loading, labeling, serialization)
Each system is engineered around your specific product, quality standards, and throughput requirements.
High-Performance Catheter Manufacturing Equipment
Our catheter automation platforms are optimized for:
- Validated processes: Built to support FDA, GMP, and ISO 13485 compliance
- High throughput: Designed for production scalability without compromising quality
- Complex assemblies: Capable of assembling multi-lumen and steerable catheter systems
- End-to-end integration: Seamlessly connect with MES, vision inspection, leak testing, and robotic systems
Custom Catheter Assembly Systems
PAR specializes in high-precision catheter assembly automation for both R&D and full-scale production. Our systems may incorporate:
- Servo-driven motion platforms for micron-level precision
- Robotic material handling and automated subassembly transfer
- Vision-guided alignment and inspection
- Modular stations for fast changeovers and future scalability
Whether you’re building neurovascular microcatheters or large-bore cardiovascular devices, our flexible platforms support complex geometries and tight tolerances.
Advanced Catheter Inspection and Quality Control
Reliable, repeatable quality assurance is critical in catheter production. PAR’s catheter inspection systems include:
- Machine vision systems for defect detection and dimensional measurement
- Laser, optical, and lubricity inspection for tip geometry, coating coverage, and surface integrity
- Inline functional tests such as leak detection, pull testing, and ID/OD measurements
- Full data traceability and MES integration for regulated environments
We deliver turnkey lubricity testing stations as well as integrated in-process quality control.
