1. CATHTIP’s Proven Process
Meet your launch goals! Cath-Tip’s Development Team is available to support your R&D Department in formulating fabrication methods for the production process. Whether it is a simple tip or a complex assembly with multiple materials and operations, the Cath-Tip team stands ready to perform the work for proof of concept all the way to production. Contact us and we can discuss your project details.
CATHTIP PROVEN PROCESS, STEP #1: Rapid Proof of Concept
Proof of Concept
You have a project – a new catheter that needs to be developed or an existing part that needs to be improved. You might be on a tight timeline and want to know if the project is feasible – quickly, but not costly. We can develop proof-of-concept sample parts for you. Our normal lead time is 1-2 weeks, but can expedite to 2-4 days if needed. Cost is minimal since we utilize off-the-shelf tooling in our R&D lab, which contains over 100 die geometries and hole drill bits. What you can expect from our technology and equipment are flashless tips and burr-free holes.
You might need help with material selection: We can help you determine what material will work best in terms of performance and manufacturability by running samples with each material type.
CATHTIP PROVEN PROCESS, STEP #2: Rapid Prototyping
Rapid Prototyping
Your medical device needs to be precise. In the Prototyping Stage we help you optimize the design and produce custom tooling to meet tight tolerance requirements (+/- .0003″). The Cath-Tip team has years of expertise designing and developing production-worthy components.
We first analyze customer drawings and discuss the design with the customer. Then the tooling is drafted and reviewed. Next we have the tooling manufactured and once received, we verify that tooling was made to spec and can produce quality parts. Lastly, we develop a recipe and produce exact-to-spec samples and ship them to the customer to do their testing.
CATHTIP PROVEN PROCESS, STEP #3: Process Refinement
Process Refinement
CATHTIP’s process refinement optimizes the process and is critical to move that catheter into successful, high-quality manufacturing. It is also a valued step to improve the current quality level of an existing catheter product.
For the customer to integrate repeatable semi-automation, we replace the elements of the development process that were done manually with production grade stainless steel and anodized aluminum tooling and fixtures. This facilitates long-term, repeatable quality production. Manual operation variables are removed and development data collected to set and provide optimal output parameters.
CATHTIP PROVEN PROCESS, STEP #4: Contract Manufacturing
Clean Room Production
After your catheter process has been refined by CATHTIP product specialists, you can choose one of two paths. 1: Purchase the equipment and custom tooling to run production at your facility. 2: Have the parts produced by CATHTIP trained technicians in our ISO 14644-1 Certified Class 7 cleanroom. We can produce any quantity for short or long term depending on what makes more sense to your organization.
CATHTIP PROVEN PROCESS, STEP #5: Machine Acquisition
Machine Acquisition
CATHTIP offers two superior RF catheter tipping machine models: The Magnum and The Quantum.
Both machines use the same black box tooling sets to produce premium quality parts. Both provide repeatable processes, rapid cycles, and high yield rates – whether in high-volume production or R&D lab work.

2. Technician Services
Hablamos Español
Begin with a phone call – describe the situation and a Cath-Tip technician will suggest next steps. 435-628-1775
Sometimes a visual is needed and for that Cath-Tip offers web-based video support.
A Cath-Tip technician can Skype or FaceTime with an engineer, allowing him to see the monitor display, tooling setup and part output exactly as the engineer does. The technician will walk your engineer through testing, training, implementation or troubleshooting steps. 435-628-1775
The Magnum’s onboard PC allows a Cath-Tip technician to log in remotely and control most functions of the machine from our facility.
This feature may be used for diagnostics, troubleshooting, training, or upgrading software to a newer version. 435-628-1775
To secure maximum up-time, it may be most effective for a Cath-Tip technician to visit a customer’s facility.
Cath-Tip offers on-site technicians to assist with:
- New Process Implementation – We can help fine-tune your new device’s production process.
- Calibration – Increase up-time and improve yield with routine calibration of your machines.
- Training – Equip one or more employees with the knowledge of best operating practices. We offer 1- and 2-day training sessions, as well as Lunch ‘n’ Learns. (OR send your employees to us for training.)
- Troubleshooting – We stand by our equipment and want your machines up and running those quality parts.

3. Equipment Leasing
Cath-Tip listened to customers’ financing needs and now offers a capital equipment lease option.
If this is the solution to meet your production goals, contact us today to get started: email sales@cathtip.com or call 435-628-1775
“Your new lease option is just what our accounting department wanted to hear! Leasing allowed us to acquire the two machines we needed to meet our increasing production demands.”
4. Service Contracts
Call 435-628-1775 or email us for details on our equipment service contracts.
