Freudenberg Medical Unveils Two New Catheter Handle Platforms and Hemostasis Valve

Freudenberg Medical, a global developer and manufacturer of finished medical devices, composite catheter shafts, components, and minimally invasive solutions for the medical device industry, has announced several new options for medical device companies looking to accelerate time to market. The Composer EPIC Catheter Handle Platform provides next-generation design options with a through lumen, modular distal end and a variety of shaft options for electrophysiology guide, diagnostic and therapeutic catheters.
 
The Composer Toccata Catheter Handle Platform is optimized for controlling smaller catheter applications up to 9.5Fr OD and provides extensive design flexibility with a variety of shaft options, a proximal luer connection and an adjustable tensioning system. The HyperSeal Mini, the sixth and latest member of the Freudenberg Medical hemostasis valve family, brings the automatically adjusting HyperSeal® valve technology into 12Fr and smaller applications including integration into the new Composer EPIC and Toccata handles.
 
“We continue to be inspired by the strong market response to our Composer Handle Platform and Hemostasis Valve Family. Freudenberg Medical’s latest Product Solutions address our customer’s growing need for rapid, meaningful and clinically relevant innovation in improving catheter delivery, control and outcomes. Our Composer EPIC and Toccata handles are built on entirely new control platforms that provide expanded design options and capabilities for emerging electrophysiology, vascular and imaging applications,” said Bernie Kaeferlein, director of Portfolio Management at Freudenberg Medical. “What’s been equally impressive is the robust, clinical versatility of the HyperSeal hemostasis valve technology. The release of HyperSeal Mini expands hemostasis options for smaller French size applications to the HyperSeal and HyperSeal XL that support large bore applications from 12Fr to well over 30Fr. As a partner for innovation, we are committed to proactively addressing unmet clinical needs and offering our medical device customers a growing portfolio of finished device, design, and process solutions to help improve efficiency and accelerate their time to market.“
