We also offer CathCAD® – The Software for Designing your Next MicroCatheter. CathCAD® includes a comprehensive materials and braid wire database hosted on a MySQL server. The base materials library includes 24 materials including Polyimide, PTFE, PEEK, FEP, ETFE, PeBax, Polyurethanes, and Polyethylene (LDPE, MDPE, and HDPE). The software will model Extrusion AND Film Cast materials as well as combinations, that is, the software modelling capabilities is process independent.
The base CathCAD® outputs include flexural (EI), longitudinal (EA), and torsional rigidities (GJ).
Numerical Input Fields for catheter dimensions and drop down boxes for braid wire sizes and material selection
FAILURE MODE ANALYSIS
The software computes the buckling kink radius as well as the elliptical shape of the lumen at a given bend radius. CathCAD® V2.0 (released June, 2013) includes estimates of tensile strength, torsional stiffness, burst pressure, as well as an improved kink radius algorithm suitable for use for thicker wall composite tubing.
