INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT FOR CATHETER MANUFACTURING

ORIOS LifeSciences designs and manufactures customized industrial equipment dedicated to catheter production and complex medical-device manufacturing processes.

Our unique approach is based on direct manufacturing experience: the equipment we develop is also used within our own production environment.

This enables us to validate machine performance under real operating conditions and continuously improve equipment based on practical manufacturing feedback.

Our equipment is designed to provide precision, repeatability, productivity, process control and traceability from prototype manufacturing through industrial-scale production.

Our current equipment capabilities include:

Thermal Welding Machines

Designed for catheter assembly, our thermal welding equipment provides controlled and reproducible joining of thermoplastic components.

Key features can include:

• Precise temperature control
• Pressure control
• Cycle-time monitoring
• Compatibility with PU, PEBAX®, nylon and other thermoplastics
• Real-time process monitoring
• Flexible automation
• Rapid product changeover

Lamination & Reflow Equipment

Our lamination and reflow systems are designed to manufacture advanced catheter shafts and controlled transitions between materials.

Applications include:

• Controlled polymer reflow
• Catheter shaft lamination
• Reinforced tubing processing
• Multi-layer structures
• Soft-tip to rigid-shaft

Angioplasty Balloon Forming Machines

ORIOS develops dedicated balloon forming and blowing equipment for the production of medical balloons.

Capabilities include:

• High-precision balloon forming
• Complex balloon geometries
• Conical balloons
• Multi-diameter balloons
• Controlled-compliance balloons
• Adjustable diameter, length and wall thickness
• Process automation
• Cycle-time optimization
• Reduction of manufacturing scrap

Applications can cover cardiology, neurology, urology and other interventional fields.

Tube Stretching Machines

Our stretching equipment enables controlled reduction of thermoplastic tubing diameter for the manufacture of complex catheter assemblies.

This technology can improve:

• Shaft flexibility
• Navigability
• Dimensional control
• Assembly capability

Machines can process materials such as PU, PEBAX® and nylon with adjustable process parameters.

Hydrophilic Coating Equipment

ORIOS develops equipment for controlled application of hydrophilic coatings to catheter-based devices.

The equipment enables:

• Uniform coating application
• Controlled coating thickness
• Repeatable process parameters
• Improved device lubricity
• Reduced friction during catheter insertion

Designed for Medical Device Manufacturing

Our machines are developed by engineers with hands-on experience in medical-device and catheter manufacturing.

Depending on the application, equipment can incorporate:

• Process parameter monitoring
• Controlled access levels
• Customized recipes
• Traceable process parameters
• Scalable automation
• Compatibility with existing production lines
• Quick product changeovers

ORIOS also provides technical support throughout equipment implementation.

Our services can include:

• Equipment specification
• Process development
• Machine customization
• Installation support
• Operator training
• Maintenance guidance
• Spare-parts support
• Process optimization

Because the equipment can be tested within our own manufacturing environment before customer installation, performance and reliability can be evaluated using real medical-device manufacturing applications.

At COMPAMED 2026, we are looking to meet catheter manufacturers and medical-device companies seeking customized production equipment, process automation or dedicated manufacturing solutions for technically demanding applications.
