Cleanroom Design for Complex Catheter Assembly

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 layouts for handling tubing and mandrels, thoughtful equipment placement, and full environmental controls.

Cleanrooms Designed Around the Medical Device

Catheter assembly isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some products require isolated workstations, fume hoods, or even cleanrooms within a cleanroom, especially when implantable materials with tight particulate requirements are involved. We’ve built that flexibility into our layout so we can tailor the environment to each device.

More Than Just Clean Space

We operate ISO Class 7 cleanrooms with unidirectional flow for people and materials, but that’s just the baseline. Our workstations support intricate operations, many performed under a microscope or magnified viewing, and are designed to make handling long, flexible tubing more manageable.

Designing Cleanrooms for Capital Equipment

Our cleanrooms aren’t just rows of benches. We’ve integrated a wide range of equipment used for development, pilot builds, and production:

Fabrication & Assembly Tools

Braiding and coiling machines, reflow and lamination machines, glue dispensers, UV curing systems, cutting equipment, laser welders, tipping and flaring machines, swaging tools, balloon pleaters/folders, hot boxes, ultrasonic baths, hole formers, PAD printers, and 3D printers.

Testing & Packaging

Pouch and tray sealers, ovens, tensile testers, leak and burst testers, radial and hoop force testers, stent securement testers, laser micrometers, vision systems, x-ray imaging, balloon compliance testers, flow rate testers, and electrical conductivity testers.

Other Essential Systems for Medical Device Cleanrooms

Cleanroom design doesn’t stop at the door. There’s a whole ecosystem of equipment and space that supports what happens inside, like machine shop equipment, fluidized bed heaters for nitinol heat setting, and large areas for raw material inventory and finished product warehousing. We’ve made room for all of it to keep production efficient and flowing.

Scalable, Future-Proof Medical Device Cleanroom Design

Whether your program is just getting started or scaling up, our cleanrooms, and the infrastructure around them, are built to handle it. We flex with your needs, maintain tight control, and make sure your product is built right.
