Composer® Platform Selected as Finalist in the Freudenberg Innovation Awards
JEFFERSONVILLE, Indiana – Freudenberg Medical’s Composer® Catheter Handle Platform was selected as a finalist in the 2019 Freudenberg Innovation Awards. The awards, held every three years, highlight projects and technology that illustrates how Freudenberg innovates for its customers.
The Composer platform includes finished steerable catheters, ready for private label development, as well as a commercialization ready design platform for accelerating time to market for new and next gen catheters and delivery systems. The platform’s unique, modular design and open shaft architecture allows for a more rapid and effective development phase for a wide range of custom applications including Structural Heart, Electrophysiology, Imaging and Vascular.
“The speed of innovation in the medical device market is dizzying, creating a growing commercialization gap,” says Anthony Appling, Sr. Director of R&D at Freudenberg Medical. “Newly developed device launches cannot keep pace with new concept ideas, which is the inspiration for the Composer.”
