Delivery Systems
We specialize in the design and production of highly precise delivery system components. Our wide range of production capabilities allow us to carry out secondary operations for all kinds of components involved in complex delivery systems, including multi-lumen extrusions, multi-durometer smooth transitions, braided shafts, and more.
Switchback Medical prototypes are completely tested for conformity with our client’s standards. Through our efficient assembly processes, our dedicated team of engineers are able to determine and solve potential issues before production kicks off.

Modifications for Any Complexity
At Switchback Medical we work with several polymer materials and are experienced with tipping & flaring any thermoplastic such as HDPE, LDPE, PVC, Pebax, Nylon, Polycarbonate, Pellethane, PFA, FEP, PEEK, PTFE, ULTEM, and composites.
Low-High Volume Production
Our unique capabilities allow us to scale production costs for all component orders — in large or small quantities. This also includes modifications and enhancements to already existing components, as well as custom build components at low costs and fast turnaround.
Quality and Product Consistency
Our product development processes are fully documented from original prototypes to pilot production to full-scale manufacturing. Our Quality System is ISO 13485 certified and our procedures support validation protocol IQ, OQ, and PQ documentation.
