Advanced Reinforcement and Assembly Technologies

Advanced Reinforcement and Assembly Technologies

MDE Srl specializes in Braiding techniques for reinforcing catheters and medical tubing, and Molding for creating high-precision, integrated components. These processes take place in ISO 7–8 Cleanrooms, ensuring maximum quality, lot traceability, and ISO 13485 and MDR compliance.

Braiding: Structural Reinforcement

Braiding is a critical process for catheter assembly, as it increases torque resistance, pushability, and controlled flexibility. We use dedicated machinery for the application of reinforcement with polymeric or metallic fibers (such as steel, Nitinol), ensuring precise control of the pick count and tension.

Molding and Assembly Techniques 

Braiding

We specialize in injection molding and over-molding of micro-components and connectors using medical-grade polymers. This allows for the integration of rigid and flexible parts, reducing assembly steps and improving the reliability of the final device. All phases are validated and traced.

FAQ

What materials can be used for reinforcement?2025-11-25T11:32:45+00:00

Stainless steel, aramid, PET, PEEK, and other high-performance materials compatible with cleanroom environments.

What is braiding in the medical field?2025-11-25T11:32:19+00:00

It is a braiding technique that allows fibers or metal wires to be inserted inside medical tubing to increase its strength and stability.

What advantages does molding offer over traditional assembly?2025-11-25T11:31:43+00:00

It reduces production times, eliminates glue and joints, and improves component cleanliness and sealing.

Is it possible to combine braiding and molding on the same device?2025-11-25T11:29:24+00:00

Yes, we integrate both technologies to create hybrid devices with internal reinforcements and molded parts.

Does MDE also produce components based on customer designs?2025-11-25T11:30:14+00:00
Yes, we produce custom components based on technical specifications and shared designs.
