Catheter Balloon Development & Manufacturing
Freudenberg Medical has the unique ability to offer best in class balloon tubing, rapid response prototyping, and balloon designs not available through typical off-the-shelf industry solutions.
Freudenberg Medical’s knowledge with non-compliant, semi-compliant, and compliant balloon technology through a range of dimensions and materials makes us a great partner for your custom balloon development and manufacturing. In addition to being able to specify the tubing dimensions to allow our customers to achieve the balloon dimensions and performance required, Freudenberg Medical’s Balloon Development Center of Excellence offers all capabilities in-house to develop, manufacture, and test high-performance medical balloons. With dedicated equipment and engineers to ensure short lead times and quickly get prototypes in hand through our Rapid Response Prototyping, we are able to quickly design concepts to address challenging requirements with multi-layer extrusions, high burst pressure, or specific features, lengths and diameters.
