Tailored catheter solutions
for specialized applications
Implant Delivery
Aptyx offers design, development, and manufacturing of catheter delivery systems from 2 FR to 35 FR. Our capabilities include developing and manufacturing the implant, the delivery system, and the packaged and sterile finished device. Examples of implant systems we have produced include:
- Self-Expanding Stents and Stent Grafts
- Heart Valve Repair and Replacement
- Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
- Neurovascular Implants
- Drug Delivery Catheters
Balloon Catheters
Aptyx supports the design and manufacture of balloon catheters in a variety of materials, shapes, and configurations to fit your medical device’s needs. We can also tailor your balloon catheter design to fit different levels of compliance standards, such as:
- Compliant Balloons
- Semi-Compliant Balloons
- Non-Compliant Balloons
- Shape Variety
Steerable & Deflectable
Aptyx specializes in handle design for steerable and deflectable catheter shafts. We utilize 3D printers and machined components to create rapid handle prototypes to prove form and function. Once confident in a design the components shift to using in-house injection molding equipment to make production quality components.
Sensor Integration
Pressure sensors and temperature sensors are increasingly common for patient monitoring, diagnostics, and limiting treatment risk to the patient. Fiber optic sensors can take a variety of measurements through a single sensor such as body temperature, blood pressure, respiratory airflow, or confirm the state of tissue for diagnostics or confirmation of treatment. Aptyx has experience integrating pressure sensors, temperature sensors, and fiber optic sensors into the following medical devices:
- Implant Delivery Systems
- Steerable and Deflectable Catheters
- Balloon Catheters
- Access Sheaths and Introducers
- Stent Grafts
- Sensing Catheters
- Imaging Catheters
- Implants with Injection Molded Components

TECHNICAL EXPERTISE BACKED BY DECADES OF EXPERIENCE
Catheter Development and Testing
Catheters often require the integration of many different materials and components to achieve a balance between strength, flexibility, kink resistance, and torque response. Our team has designed hundreds of complex catheters with this balance in mind.
Our in-house research and development laboratories are equipped with stock materials and state-of-the-art capabilities.
Aptyx offers:
- Rapid Prototyping
- Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
- Design for Assembly (DFA)
- Catheter testing services
Catheter Manufacturing
Pilot production of devices takes place in ISO Class 7 cleanrooms. The pilot production stage brings together engineering, process development, and quality systems to best refine processes and inspection requirements in preparation for full volume catheter manufacturing.
Aptyx offers:
- Full-scale cleanroom manufacturing
- Class II and Class III catheter systems
- Low volume or high volume
- Single componens or finished device
- Multi-lumen and multi-layer catheter assemblies
- Packaged and sterile products

What our customers are saying
One particular capability where they really stand above competitors is project management. This is done in a professional way, and we have quite high complexity involved. They are doing an outstanding job.
Global Commodity Manager / Multi-national Medical Device Company
The Aptyx team did an excellent job converting brass gears to plastic. Because of the design challenges, deep expertise in gears and over-molding was crucial. They also converted an expensive, labor-intensive part with quality issues to two-shot molding, which dramatically reduced cost, improved quality, and easily met the production needs. Apytx came through for us because of very good program management and good technical expertise.
