Confluent Medical Technologies, Scottsdale, Ariz., will open a specialty medical polymer tubing center that offers component design support, PTFE liners, polyimide tubing, coated wires, and multi-layer composite tubing.
The new state-of-the-art facility, expected to be operational in Q3 2021, will provide customers with complex delivery systems for structural heart, neurovascular, and peripheral vascular applications. “Having a strong manufacturing location in the U.S. is vital to supporting our growing customer base,” said Confluent president & CEO, Dean Schauer. “Combine this new site’s capabilities with our complex catheter offerings out of our Austin, Texas site and you have a powerful partner in Confluent Medical to assist with your catheter shaft needs.”
With the addition of filmcast technology, Confluent strengthens its vertically integrated supply chain by offering thin-walled, tightly tolerant engineered tubing. The Chattanooga site, with a technical team having over 175 years of combined experience in medical device manufacturing, will also partner with OEMs to provide customized tubing for demanding devices.
