Optimizing Catheter Braiding for Flexibility and Control

For many next-generation minimally invasive devices, braided catheter shafts are at the heart of performance. The way a catheter bends, rotates, and resists kinking inside the body isn’t random. It’s the result of very deliberate design and manufacturing choices. At Medical Murray, we work with engineers and device developers to fine-tune braiding techniques that help…

Developing and Manufacturing Imaging Catheters

Medical practitioner performing imaging catheter procedure

Imaging catheters are critical tools in modern medicine, enabling physicians to see inside the body with high precision. These medical devices integrate advanced optics, electronics, and catheter engineering to provide real-time visualization and guidance during diagnostic and interventional procedures. Applications span cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, urology, and more. At Medical Murray, we have experience supporting the…

Choosing the Right Polymers for Soft Tissue Implants: ePTFE, PET, TPU, Bioabsorbable, and More

When developing implantable medical devices for soft tissue applications (vascular, gastrointestinal, urology, and more), one of the earliest and most critical decisions is selecting the right polymer material. The polymer you choose directly impacts biocompatibility, mechanical performance, and even regulatory approval timelines. And in many designs, the polymer needs to work in tandem with metallic…

Why Integrated Medical Device Testing Leads to Better Design

Medical device manufacturing cleanroom facility

When you’re developing a complex medical device, especially a Class III product, testing should be part of the process from the very beginning, not something you scramble to do at the end. At Medical Murray, we believe good testing isn’t just about passing requirements. It’s about building a better, safer, and more reliable product that’s…

From Idea to DHF: Building a Regulatory-Ready Medical Device

Medical Murray medical device technician

Startups love prototypes. They’re tangible, testable, and exciting. But if you want to commercialize a Class II or Class III medical device, the physical product is only half the story. The other half? Telling the FDA why the device is safe and effective. That story is captured in your Design History File (DHF), the structured…

Cleanroom Design for Complex Catheter Assembly

Medical Murray Cleanroom facilities

Building complex catheters takes more than just clean space. These are often delicate devices that can be long, flexible, and sometimes awkward to handle. The environment where they’re assembled must support that kind of work. At Medical Murray, we’ve designed our cleanrooms to meet the unique demands of catheter and implant manufacturing. That includes ergonomic…

Why Radiopacity Matters in Next-gen Medical Devices

When it comes to minimally invasive procedures, being able to see the device matters. Whether a doctor is guiding a catheter or placing an implant, they need to rely on imaging to know the exact location of the device. That’s where radiopacity comes in. At Medical Murray, we develop and manufacture advanced radiopaque catheters and…
