Therapy Area Expertise

We are experts in structural heart applications including access sheaths, delivery catheters and systems targeting the aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves. Braids, coils, and laser-cut stainless-steel components can all be configured to contribute to performance and function, including steerable shafts and telescopic devices used in therapy delivery.

Devices can be made steerable, with the option of multi-plane steering with the incorporation of pull wires with high tensile load capabilities to handle high force delivery requirements of your implants.

Our testing capabilities allow us to test and challenge the design quickly in our lab. Custom test methods can be designed and tailored to suit your specific needs.

Valve Repair Delivery System

Our customer is pioneering a non-implant, catheter-based approach to treating heart valve stenosis through leaflet modification. To support this highly specialised delivery system, ICS Medical Devices provided end-to-end catheter development expertise, from early-stage shaft design and rapid prototyping to clinical-grade manufacturing. Leveraging our ISO 13485-certified facilities and cleanroom capabilities, we enabled the customer to advance their therapy into clinical trials with confidence and precision.

Mitral Valve Replacement System

ICS Medical Devices partnered with a medtech innovator developing a minimally invasive solution for severe mitral regurgitation, designed to accommodate a wide range of mitral anatomies. Initially supporting early clinical milestones, ICS provided catheter engineering and manufacturing expertise that helped accelerate the program’s progress. Following the company’s acquisition by a global medtech leader, ICS continues to support advanced clinical trials and commercialization with scalable, high-performance delivery system solutions.

Tricuspid Valve Replacement System

A European-based medtech company is redefining the treatment of tricuspid regurgitation with its novel valve replacement system. ICS Medical Devices was selected to support the development and clinical builds of the complex catheter delivery system. Our tailored engineering solutions, combined with ISO 13485-certified manufacturing capabilities, enabled the customer to meet the rigorous demands of structural heart innovation and prepare for successful clinical deployment.
