WHAT WE DO
Driven by innovation, CathPrint AB brings to the medical industry a new and effective method of catheter production, substantially reducing manpower efforts and costs. Working with various companies in the catheter industry, CathPrint has introduced novel solutions to producing catheters with differing requirements.
We are utilizing the proven technology of flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs), which are the basis for CathPrint’s new innovative process. This enables a semi-automatic operation process for attaching wires, electrodes and contacts, replacing today’s small-scale, handmade manufacturing.

Join the team!
CathPrint is a young and innovative company in the medical technology industry. We help our customers to develop new advanced catheters and endoscopes using our patented production technology. In order to serve that mission, we are always looking for self-motivated and skillful persons to be part of our team. If you are interested in working with us, why don’t you drop us an email.
CathPrint is typically interested in recently graduated electrical engineers or students searching for a Master Thesis with a basic knowledge of electrical schematics. The perfect candidate would also have a medical background and know about MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems), pressure, temperature and oxygen sensors.
For specific prototypes or long-term cooperation, feel free to contact us about your project and our experts will come back to you shortly with a technical opinion. For demonstration purposes, testing a prototype is a quick and efficient way to evaluate the suitability of our technology for your application. CathPrint can offer you a "catheter kit" made of a catheter part with one pressure sensor, its electronics, a user guide and some technical assistance for 2000€. You will then be able to measure and display pressure in air or in water in real time.
