Assistant Editor
US Extruders has entered a strategic collaboration with Colin Sutherland of Wexford Ireland to provide complete engineered systems for balloon tubing and balloon forming technologies. Colin Sutherland is recognized as a worldwide technology leader in specialty balloons for interventional, surgical & specialized applications. US Extruders develops medical extruders designed for tight-tolerance medical tubing applications with high process capabilities. As part of the agreement, Colin Sutherland will use its automated balloon-forming technology and expertise to develop and manufacture balloon designs from Nylon, PET, Pebax, TPU, and custom blends. US Extruders will deliver a 25mm Med-Ex extruder that will be installed in Colin’s new development center located in Wexford, Ireland. The new development center combines complete design, prototyping, and testing capabilities on beautiful grounds located in Wexford, Ireland, and includes three remote guest pods surrounded by beautiful nature walks and healing ponds. In addition to a complete extrusion line and balloon forming equipment, in-house catheter manufacturing capabilities include molding, UV bonding, thermal bonding, laser welding, micro TIG welding, wire EDM, 3D printing capabilities, and more. According to Colin Sutherland, “high quality balloon manufacturing starts with highly concentric balloon tubing that meets very stringent elongation properties. By combining the engineering and development of the extrusion system with the balloon forming process, we will be able to offer a complete and highly integrated solution to medical device companies.” “Poba Medical is excited to partner with Colin and anxious to evaluate the next generation balloon forming technology in a high-volume manufacturing environment. Colin’s passion as a toolmaker and recognized thought leader in balloon blow molding will be clearly exemplified in his state-of-the-art equipment offering to support next generation interventional balloons well into the 21st century,” stated Dan Kasprzyk CEO of Poba Medical. As part of the agreement, Colin Sutherland will represent US Extruders in Europe for the sale of medical extruders and extrusion systems. In partnership with the medical material solutions provider, Compounding Solutions, the Med-Ex extruder will be used to develop and test innovative materials for balloons and catheter shaft applications.
