Machine
Solutions Inc. (MSI) offers a solution to the labor intense,
tedious, and unreliable process of pleating and folding
angioplasty and stent deployment balloon catheters. The core,
patent pending Balloon Form/Fold/Set Equipment (FFS) features
our unique Wavepleat™ mechanism that allows for precise,
consistent, and repeatable balloon profiles without the need
for operator hand folding. Our
FFS equipment is made to customer specifications allowing
great flexibility in meeting a variety of requirements.
The
FFS equipment from MSI provides many advantages over alternate
methods, some of these include:
• Substantially reduced process cycle times.
• Uniform,
repeatable, longitudinal pleat geometry including the balloon
tapers.
• Consistent
balloon unfolding during stent deployment.
• Optimized
folded balloon profiles.
• May
influence rewrap, depending on balloon material and thickness.
