Freudenberg Medical touting new catheter handle platforms, hemostasis valve at TCT 2019

Freudenberg Medical says it will have several new products to show off next week in San Francisco during TCT 2019, including two new catheter handle platforms and a new hemostasis valve.

Products touted by the Carpinteria, Calif.–based contract manufacturer will include:

• The Composer Epic catheter handle platform includes what the company describes as next-generation design options. There’s a through lumen, modular distal end and a variety of shaft options for electrophysiology guide, diagnostic and therapeutic catheters.
• The Composer Toccata catheter handle platform is meant to control smaller catheter applications up to 9.5 Fr OD. The platform provides extensive design flexibility with a variety of shaft options, a proximal luer connection and an adjustable tensioning system, according to Freudenberg.
• The HyperSeal Mini is the sixth and latest member of the Freudenberg Medical hemostasis valve family. It brings the automatically adjusting HyperSeal valve technology into 12Fr and smaller applications including integration into the new Composer Epic and Toccata handles.

“Freudenberg Medical’s latest product solutions address our customer’s growing need for rapid, meaningful and clinically relevant innovation in improving catheter delivery, control and outcomes,” Bernie Kaeferlein, director of portfolio management at Freudenberg Medical, said in a news release.

“Our Composer Epic and Toccata handles are built on entirely new control platforms that provide expanded design options and capabilities for emerging electrophysiology, vascular and imaging applications,” Kaeferlein said. “What’s been equally impressive is the robust, clinical versatility of the HyperSeal hemostasis valve technology.”
