Custom Dual-Lumen Pebax Catheter for BCI – Precision Manufacturing

Table of Content [Hide]

    Introduction

    Minimally invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) systems require highly reliable interventional catheters. The dual-lumen Pebax catheter is a key component for electrode delivery and auxiliary access in emerging neural interface platforms.


    PT&C offers contract manufacturing services for BCI-specific dual-lumen Pebax catheters. We support the entire development cycle – from rapid prototyping to ISO 13485-certified volume production – using medical-grade, high-purity Pebax resin.


    Design and Material Advantages

    A dual-lumen Pebax catheter consists of a single tube with two independent, non-communicating lumens. These can be configured with equal or different diameters to suit your intended use.


    Why Pebax?

    • Engineered Flexibility – Excellent kink resistance and torque transmission to navigate tortuous neurovascular routes.

    • Biocompatibility – Complies with ISO 10993 for short- or long-term interventional use.

    • Variable Durometer – Adjustable Shore D hardness options, allowing for a stiff proximal shaft for pushability and an ultra-soft distal tip to minimize tissue trauma.


    Our Manufacturing Capabilities

    We provide full-service customization across dimensions, material grades, and integrated features.


    2.1 Dimensional Tailoring

    • Outer diameter – Customized to your specific neurovascular access route.

    • Lumen sizes and ratios – Independently sized for main electrode delivery and auxiliary channels.

    • Length – Adapted to your specific BCI interventional procedure.

    • Cross-sectional profiles – Round, D-shaped, oval, or custom multi-lumen configurations.


    2.2 Material and Surface Options

    • Medical-grade Pebax available in a wide range of durometers (from soft 25D to rigid 72D).

    • Hydrophilic or smooth inner liners (such as PTFE or HDPE) to drastically reduce friction during electrode deployment.

    • Multi-segment durometer bonding along the shaft for optimal trackability and pushability.


    2.3 Integrated Features

    · Radiopaque markers – Platinum-iridium or tantalum rings, or barium sulfate ($BaSO_4$) compounding for clear fluoroscopic visualization.

    · Reinforcement layers – Braided or coil-reinforced shafts for superior kink resistance and torque response.

    · Multi-lumen versions – Three-lumen or custom channels available on request.


    2.4 Quality and Delivery

    • Manufactured under ISO 13485:2016.

    • Each batch undergoes strict dimensional, visual, and flow-rate testing.

    • Pilot batches for R&D and regulatory testing; high-volume production for clinical trials and commercial supply.

    • Flexible lead times with rapid response.


    Why Partner with PT&C?

    • Deep Pebax Extrusion Expertise – Years of precision co-extrusion, multi-durometer bonding, and tip forming experience.

    • End-to-end service – From tooling design to final catheter assembly, all in-house.

    • Regulatory support – We can supply Design History Files (DHF) and Device Master Records (DMR) for NMPA/FDA submissions.

    • IP protection – Strict NDAs and confidentiality agreements safeguard your proprietary designs.
