Proximal
Where the shaft meets its interfaces and handling components.

Neurovascular Device Manufacturing
From catheter engineering through reinforced shaft manufacturing, precision extrusion, specialized processing, and microcatheter assembly, Cordica builds the full neurovascular device system in-house, backed by the materials expertise and development support demanding programs need.

02 / Device System
A catheter architecture only works when every region works as one system.
Geometry, materials, reinforcement, layering, liners, coatings, bonding, markers, and assembly aren't separate decisions. Each one connects to the pathway the finished catheter has to travel.
02
Shaft
The tubing, liners, polymer layers, braiding, coiling, and reflow that build the working length.
03
Transition
Where mechanical and dimensional requirements shape one continuous construction.
04
Distal
Tip forming, coatings, marker bands, nitinol, and hypotubes, finished by bonding and assembly.
03 / Distal + Shaft Architecture
Shaft, transition, distal, and component requirements move together.
The visualization is illustrative and contains no device specifications.
Shaft Architecture
Braiding, coiling, liners, polymer layers, and reflow get engineered together, not stacked on as separate steps.

04 / Engineering + Manufacturing
Shaft, tubing, finishing, and assembly requirements move together, not in sequence.
At this scale, extrusion and materials can't be evaluated on their own. Small dimensions and integrated constructions mean every decision touches the rest of the build.
Integrated Shaft Construction
Braiding, coiling, liners, polymer layers, and reflow get engineered together, shaped by what the device actually requires.

Precision Tubing & Materials
High-performance polymer extrusion builds single-lumen, multi-lumen, multi-layer, and tapered constructions as part of the complete architecture, not as standalone components.

Distal Processing & Finishing
The shaft is only part of it. Specialized processing carries through to the distal features and components the device depends on.

Assembly & Production Control
From there, catheter components move through precision assembly, inspection, testing, kitting, labeling, and packaging.
