Creganna will provide a specialized spe·cial·ize v. spe·cial·ized, spe·cial·iz·ing, spe·cial·iz·es v.intr. 1. To pursue a special activity, occupation, or field of study. 2. contract design and manufacturing service from the expanded facility serving medical device and lifescience companies who develop and market specialty needles. Creganna is an industry leader in the design and processing of micro tubing for minimally invasive catheter catheter /cath·e·ter/ (kath´e-ter) 1. a tubular, flexible surgical instrument that is inserted into a cavity of the body to withdraw or introduce fluid. 2. urethral c. applications. Building from this position, the company will offer a handle to tip design and manufacturing solution for specialty needles. "Creganna has extensive experience in the design and processing of precision tube-based medical components and sub-assemblies. Coupled with our materials expertise, molding services and innovative technologies we can fulfil ful·fill also ful·fil tr.v. ful·filled, ful·fill·ing, ful·fills also ful·fils 1. To bring into actuality; effect: fulfilled their promises. 2. all the requirements of customers seeking a full manufacturing solution for specialty needles" commented Helen Ryan, Creganna CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Creganna is known for industry firsts and our needles solutions offering is no different" said Dr. Vlado Gergely, Head of Metallurgy metallurgy (mĕt`əlûr'jē), science and technology of metals and their alloys. Modern metallurgical research is concerned with the preparation of radioactive metals, with obtaining metals economically from low-grade ores, with at Creganna. "We are introducing a high-performance alloy, Javelin[TM], for demanding needle applications. Javelin[TM] -based needles exhibit high hardness, excellent damage resistance, high column strength, shape-set resilience resilience (r  ·zilˑ·yens),n and minimum tip deflection deflection /de·flec·tion/ (de-flek´shun) deviation or movement from a straight line or given course, such as from the baseline in electrocardiography. de·flec·tion n. 1. enabling superior physician control during challenging procedures. The response from product developers of specialty needles to this alloy has been extremely positive. They see great potential for Javelin[TM] needles in complex clinical applications as it solves a number of the challenges inherent with traditional materials." Creganna is also developing new solutions for improved echogenic enhancement, composite shaft materials, long length needles and complex needle profiling. Production at the newly expanded Marlborough facility commenced during January 2008 and the dedicated facility will serve as the global manufacturing base for specialty needle manufacturing.
