Creganna Launches Three New Technologies for Medical Device Manufacturers.- Microflex, Fusion Technology & Molding launch at MD&M West Conference - - Press Briefing at MD&M West on Feb 14 at 11am PT - GALWAY, Ireland & ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Creganna Medical Devices today launched three new technologies for medical device manufacturers. The technologies and products launched include, Microflex a unique micro tube, Fusion Technology, a breakthrough solution for Nitinol to Stainless Steel stainless steel: see steel. stainless steel Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. tube welding welding, process for joining separate pieces of metal in a continuous metallic bond. Cold-pressure welding is accomplished by the application of high pressure at room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done by means of hammering, with the addition of heat. and a complete range of molding technologies for complex 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. device shafts. Microflex is a micro tube specifically developed for minimally invasive treatment of the body's smallest vasculatures such as the neurovascular system. It is available in OD ranges of 0.013" or less and features highly flexible stainless steel design and single piece construction with variable transition of lateral stiffness along its length. Fusion Technology features a patented breakthrough welding solution for Nitinol to Stainless Steel tube welding. Fusion technology enables product designers to achieve Nitinol tube performance without the cost. Following the recent acquisition of Screentech Medical, Creganna now offers a full range of molding solutions. Creganna specialize spe·cial·ize v. 1.
