STEMart, a US-based provider of comprehensive services for all phases of medical device development, is proud to announce a comprehensive suite of Catheter Dynamics Performance Testing services for medical device manufacturers to identify potential design flaws and optimize catheter performance, ensuring the safety and efficacy of their catheter-based devices.

Catheter Dynamics Performance Testing is a critical part of the medical device development process. It helps to assess the performance of catheters under real-world conditions, including their ability to navigate through narrow and tortuous vessels. STEMart offers advanced technology and facilities for a wide range of catheter dynamics performance testing to simulate the anatomical pathways a device may follow in an in vivo system, and in particular STEMart can provide representative PVA and silicone anatomical models for use in catheter kinetic performance testing services, including health and disease models.

These advanced testing services evaluate key parameters such as catheter track, catheter crossing, wire movement, and wire torsion. For example, STEMart offers Catheter Push tests to determine the efficiency with which a tube transmits force from the proximal to the distal end of a shaft, and provides Catheter Track tests to measure the ability of a catheter to travel through tortuous vessels navigated by the catheter. The test can measure the force required to advance the catheter, guidewire, or other minimally invasive instrument through an artificial artery.

The Catheter Cross test is also available to evaluate the ability of a catheter to cross a lesion or restriction after the distal end of the catheter has crossed a client-defined anatomical structure. Moreover, STEMart offers the Wire Movement test to assess the ease with which a guidewire can be advanced through a catheter, guide catheter or similar device, indicating the interaction between the two as they navigate complex pathways. Similarly, the Wire Torsion Test evaluates the flexibility and responsiveness of the wire to user control, measuring its ability to follow specific bends, such as a 90-degree angle, as the catheter tip follows the course of the guidewire.

STEMart combines expert medical device testing knowledge with state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities to provide a one-stop, customized approach to testing active medical devices, nonactive medical devices and in vitro diagnostic devices. STEMart’s expertise in dynamic performance testing of medical device catheters provides a full service experience that helps manufacturers achieve regulatory goals and minimize compliance risks.

STEMart's Catheter Dynamics Performance Testing services will empower manufacturers to develop innovative devices that improve patient outcomes and enhance the overall healthcare experience.
