FOUR WAYS TO WORK WITH CATHTEAM
Start with what you need to build.
CathTeam is the first-of-its-kind catheter design and manufacturing training facility, helping engineers and teams develop, build, and optimize next-generation catheters.
Hands-On Training
STEEGER · ROTHGREAVES · CATHMASTER · ONEX
Build 5–6 full catheters in 3 days, plus 3Fr microcatheter, complex steerable, and custom programs.

Maker Space
20+ MACHINES · DAY, WEEK, OR MONTH
A production-grade catheter development lab. Bypass facility constraints and de-risk equipment purchases.
Tour the Maker Space →
Engineering Consulting
DESIGN · PROCESS · LINE SUPPORT
Reduce iterations, optimize processes, and scale efficiently — including line-down emergencies.

CathCalcs™ Software
DESIGN MATH · AUTO-GENERATED BOM
Dial in jacket wall thickness and FEP shrink ratios, and know your bill of materials before you cut.
Try CathCalcs™ →FROM DESIGN TO FINISHED DEVICE
Every stage of the build, under one roof.
A catheter is only as good as its weakest process step. We train, equip, and support every stage, so problems get solved where they start.

From first build to "confidently building them in my job."
Engineers, designers, and MedTech professionals on what three days at the bench did for them.
Having been in catheter design and manufacturing for the better part of a decade, I wish I would have access to this kind of training at the start of my career. Years worth of on-the-job training was boiled down into 3 days of easily accessible and digestible material.
As an engineer with extensive experience designing complex catheter systems, I was impressed by how much I learned throughout the course. I would strongly recommend this course to both new and experienced catheter engineers.
Over three days, I built five full-length catheters myself. Coming from the commercial side of MedTech, the hands-on experience made concepts I've heard throughout my career finally click in a completely different way.
FEATURED TRAININGS
Real engineers. Real equipment. Real confidence.
Programs used by R&D engineers, process development teams, and manufacturing technicians.
3 Days
13Fr Catheter Fundamentals
Design, braid, coil, and laminate — build 5–6 full 13Fr catheters from start to finish on the same equipment used across the industry.
See upcoming dates
3 Days
3Fr Microcatheter Training
The Fundamentals curriculum scaled to microcatheter builds — finer wire, tighter tolerances, and tooling for neuro and peripheral access.
See upcoming dates3 Days
Complex Steerables
Methodology selection, triaxial selection and optimization, triaxial exits, braid tensioning, and process troubleshooting.
See upcoming datesOUR EXPERTISE, YOUR TRAINING
Built on hundreds of real catheter builds.
Braiding
Steerables, balloons, multilumens, triaxials, sub-triaxials, closed-end.
Coiling
Grooved mandrels, steerables, multifilar, multilayer, direct coil, transferred coils, deflection coiling.
Lamination
Pebax liners, multilumen extrusion, manufacturing optimization.
Sizes
Neuro to structural heart.
MAKER SPACE
Stop guessing. Start building.
A fully-equipped, production-grade catheter development lab. Bypass facility constraints, de-risk equipment purchases, and add CathTeam engineering support to your bench time.
NEW · TOOLING
The CathTeam Roll Cutter
The same tool on every bench in our trainings and Maker Space. Two versions: 3–31 Fr (odd sizes) and 3–20 Fr (all sizes). Made to order, ships in about 1 week.
PARTNER WITH CATHTEAM
Your tech belongs in engineers' hands — not just their inbox.
Our partners' materials, tooling, and equipment are part of every build. Engineers learn your product by using it.
FOUNDER
Built by leaders in catheter innovation.
CathTeam was founded by Tommy Brodt, MBA — former R&D Director and Catheter Engineer at Inari Medical and Apollo Medical. Tommy has designed and built hundreds of catheters and trained dozens of engineers and technicians across the industry.
RothGreaves Certified Partner
CathTeam is certified by RothGreaves & Associates, the industry leader in catheter manufacturing equipment and process development tooling. Our training programs and manufacturing toolkits are built to the same standards used by top-tier MedTech innovators worldwide.
