Sean Kramer, one of our talented Applications Engineers, recently shared his perspective on how an engineering-first approach helps solve customer challenges and drive innovation.

"At MicroLumen, our engineering-first approach starts by bringing together medical device engineers and our in-house team of applications engineers at the very beginning of every project. By fostering collaboration from the outset, we focus on solving customer challenges and developing customized tubing solutions rather than promoting existing products.”

By engaging early in the design process, we can better understand application requirements, identify challenges sooner, and work alongside customers to develop solutions specific to their device needs. This collaborative approach helps support design optimization, manufacturability, and overall project success.

Stay tuned as we continue this Engineering Insights series and explore additional insights into medical tubing design, engineering collaboration, and medical device innovation.

FLARING

Focusing on the small details when there is no room for error is our specialty at MicroLumen.

Flared tubing is one example.

Using heat and a flaring mandrel, a tube's inside diameter (ID) and outside diameter (OD) are expanded to create a precise flare at the end of the tube.

This seemingly simple process creates the a precise ending with an expanded tip. Flaring can be done in a multitude of sizes and shapes to meet the needs of high performance medical devices.

At MicroLumen, attention to these details is what helps transform a component into a dependable solution.

How do you adjust the flexibility, stiffness, and durability of a catheter lumen?

It's a question medical device engineers ask our team every day.

As high performance medical devices navigate complex anatomy, they must balance the flexibility needed to track tortuous pathways with the strength required to maintain lumen integrity.

One design factor plays a major role in achieving that balance: braid wire PIC count (per inch crosses).

Engineering for flexibility:
A higher PIC count increases the braid angle, which can improve flexibility, hoop strength, torque transmission, burst pressure, and crush resistance.

Engineering for strength:
A lower PIC count creates a lower braid angle, often resulting in greater longitudinal stiffness, and higher kink resistance.

What’s the challenge?
There isn't a universal "best" PIC count. Every device has its own unique performance requirements. What works for one application may not work for another. The goal is to find the right balance between flexibility, strength, torque response, durability, and stability for the intended use.

Talk to one of our application engineers today to better understand how small changes in construction can have a significant impact on device performance when it matters most: https://www.microlumen.com/contact/directory/?Routing=Engineering
