Producing balloons used for angioplasty catheters calls for tubing that has more stringent requirements than that used for other uses, such as catheter body or strain relief. To ensure that the proper ...

Balloon forming is a science-based, advanced manufacturing process in which every step must be performed with the highest precision to achieve the desired results. These steps include selecting and ...

This study presents a deep learning-based monitoring system for estimating extrusion angles in the manufacturing process of microcatheter tubes. Given the critical nature of these tubes, which are ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...
