Precision Catheter Solutions for Complex Neuro Therapies

At ICS Medical Devices, our catheter solutions are built around your needs. Whether it’s quick-turn mock-ups for bench testing, concept evaluation, or investor presentations, or high-quality prototypes for lab trials and clinical validation, all the way through to production-grade components for clinical trials and commercial launch. 

We’ve seen growing demand for our expertise in neurovascular therapies, supporting a wide range of solutions from access systems to clot retrieval and embolic protection technologies. Our team works closely with both startups and multinational medtech companies to design, develop, and manufacture complex catheter systems that meet the unique demands of cerebral anatomy and high-performance neurovascular procedures. 

With deep capabilities in microcatheter design, braided and coiled shaft construction, steerable systems, and precision hypotube engineering, ICS enables our partners to bring innovative neurovascular therapies to the market faster, with confidence in quality, performance, and scalability. 

Core Engineering Capabilities

Access Sheaths & Micro Steerable Catheters: Precision-engineered for controlled navigation through highly tortuous cerebral vessels with optimal flexibility, trackability and minimal trauma.

Braiding & Coiling Technologies: Custom shaft constructions that balance pushability, torque response, and kink resistance.

Push-pull Activation and Deployment Catheters: Expertise in extrusion, braid, coiling and incorporation of different combination shafts to provide optimum and controlled delivery of the critical implant or extraction element.

Therapy Area and Expertise

ICS supports a wide range of heart neurovascular applications including:

  • Ultra‑low‑profile microcatheters
  • Aspiration & thrombectomy catheters
  • Balloon catheters
  • Flow diversion & embolization systems
  • Sheaths & access systems
  • Stent retrievers
  • Embolic protection systems

These capabilities are backed by ICS’s deep expertise in braiding, coiling, extrusion, metals processing and cleanroom production, enabling rapid prototyping, regulatory-grade manufacturing, and performance testing for cutting-edge neurovascular therapies.

Rapid Product Improvement Through Prototyping

01

Rapid Product Improvement Through Prototyping

Our customer needed a prototype to critique an idea they had for an improvement to their product. The customer was rapidly approaching a design freeze but the idea potentially offered them an advantage in the market. They came to ICS Medical Devices looking for a fast-turn, low-budget prototype to evaluate the idea and allow them build some data to bring into the design decision making process. Our team ran some quick trials and tests using on-hand materials, and after a quick onsite review with the customer to re-define some specifications based on initial observations, we fabricated prototypes and presented to the customer along with engineering data and options for future improvements. This was completed within 2 weeks. Our customer successfully integrated the design improvements we suggested, thus improving their product and their opportunity for success in the market.

Turning Time Pressure into Product Advantage

Turning Time Pressure into Product Advantage

Facing a tight design freeze, our customer approached ICS Medical Devices to quickly evaluate a potential product improvement that could offer a market advantage. Working with available materials, our team conducted rapid trials and an onsite review to refine specifications. Within two weeks, we delivered functional prototypes along with engineering data and improvement options. The customer successfully integrated the enhancements, strengthening both product performance and market potential.

High Performance Shaft Solution

High Performance Shaft Solution

ICS Medical Devices partnered with a neurovascular innovator to develop a high-performance shaft for their next-generation aspiration catheter used in stroke intervention. Leveraging advanced braiding and extrusions, ICS engineered a solution that delivers superior trackability, torque control, and kink resistance. The shaft design supported successful clinical trials and regulatory milestones, contributing to the device’s rapid progression toward commercialisation.
