Braiding Solutions for Medical Device Manufacturing
From Sutures to Stents — Precision Braiding Across Medical Specialties
MB Medical Braider machines are deployed across the full spectrum of medical device manufacturing — from fine surgical sutures and catheter shafts to nitinol stents and endoscope components. Our braiding systems are engineered to meet the dimensional precision, material compatibility, and process repeatability required by regulated medical device production environments, serving manufacturers in Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific.
Suture Braiding Machines
Engineered for precision suture manufacturing, MB suture braiding machines handle both absorbable materials — PGA, PGLA, PDO — and non-absorbable variants including polyester, nylon, and UHMWPE. Independently programmable braid angle, carrier tension, and take-up speed ensure dimensional consistency and tensile uniformity batch after batch, supporting validation and regulatory submission requirements.
Catheter Braiding Machines
Designed for single- and multi-lumen catheter shaft reinforcement, MB catheter braiding machines deliver precise control over braid angle, picks per inch (PPI), and wire tension — the key variables governing pushability, torque transmission, kink resistance, and burst pressure. Compatible with stainless steel, nitinol, and polymer yarns, these machines support catheter development across vascular, neurological, urological, and electrophysiology applications.
Endoscope Braiding Machines
MB endoscope braiding machines produce the reinforcement layer that governs torque transmission, bending response, and kink resistance in flexible endoscope shafts. The next-generation platform achieves a 56% reduction in footprint and 50% weight reduction versus prior models at equivalent spindle count — without sacrificing braid quality or speed — making it well-suited for high-value cleanroom production environments where floor space is at a premium.
Stent & Occluder Braiding Machine
MB stent and occluder braiding machines are purpose-built for nitinol and cobalt-chromium structural braiding. The product range covers self-expanding peripheral and coronary stents, cardiac septal occluders, flow diverters, and other complex implantable geometries. With spindle configurations from 16 to 288 and fully programmable variable-pitch braiding up to 300 PPI — supporting continuous pitch transitions or step changes — both horizontal and vertical platform orientations are available to align with your facility layout and mandrel handling requirements.
Coil Braiding Machine
MB high-speed coiling machines are designed for continuous production of guidewire coils, catheter coil layers, and occlusion spring coils across 2 to 24 strand, multi-layer configurations. Independent tension control on each carrier ensures consistent pitch, layer alignment, and coil diameter — directly impacting guidewire torque response, pushability, and tip flexibility. The horizontal platform supports both single-run and continuous changeover production modes.
