Single-Use IVUS Wire for Real-Time Intravascular Imaging

Single-Use IVUS Imaging Cable for Intravascular Ultrasound Catheters

Product Overview

HOTTEN provides customized single-use IVUS imaging cables for intravascular ultrasound catheter systems used in cardiovascular and intravascular imaging applications.

The cable is designed for disposable catheter-based medical devices, where compact construction, reliable signal transmission, flexible routing and consistent manufacturing are important. The cable structure can be customized according to the electrical and mechanical requirements of the customer's IVUS system.

Unlike a general-purpose medical cable, a single-use IVUS cable must be considered together with the catheter structure, internal routing, imaging components and termination configuration. HOTTEN supports customized conductor, insulation, shielding, sheath and jacket configurations for medical device OEM projects.

The solution can be developed from engineering samples and prototype quantities through recurring production.

The existing HOTTEN page specifically identifies intravascular ultrasound systems, coronary imaging catheter systems, cardiovascular diagnostic devices and interventional cardiology equipment as application areas.

Engineering Considerations

1. Disposable Device Architecture

Because the cable is intended for single-use catheter applications, engineers should evaluate it together with the overall disposable device architecture rather than as an isolated wire.

2. Available Installation Space

The internal space of a catheter is limited. Cable diameter, insulation thickness, shielding construction and jacket dimensions should therefore be considered during the mechanical design stage.

3. Signal Transmission

The conductor structure, dielectric materials and cable geometry should be matched to the electrical requirements of the IVUS imaging system.

4. Shielding and EMI Control

Where sensitive imaging signals are involved, the shielding structure should be selected according to the system's electromagnetic environment and signal-integrity requirements.

5. Flexibility

The cable may need to follow compact internal routing paths. Material selection and cable construction should therefore account for bending and routing requirements.

6. Termination

Termination is an important part of the complete cable assembly. Connector selection, contact configuration, termination method and dimensional tolerances should be confirmed during engineering development.

7. Production Consistency

For disposable medical products, repeatability across production batches is important. Cable dimensions, materials, electrical characteristics and inspection requirements should be controlled consistently from prototypes to production.

Engineering & Procurement Considerations

When sourcing a single-use IVUS cable, procurement and engineering teams should define the following parameters:
