Custom Round Medical Mounting Card for Interventional Catheter Coils

WhatsApp

This custom round medical mounting card is purpose-built for interventional catheter manufacturers who need to securely package long, flexible catheters that must be coiled for sterile storage and shipping. The circular design holds catheter coils in a perfect, stress-free loop, preventing tangling, kinking and tubing damage that happens when long catheters are packaged in flat or rectangular cards. Ideal for electrophysiology catheters, coronary angiography catheters, peripheral intervention catheters and guidewire sets.

Product Overview

Our round medical mounting card is a precision die-cut circular card used as the internal fixation component for coiled interventional catheters, long guidewires, ablation catheters and other flexible medical devices that require looped packaging. The card provides a rigid, circular form that the catheter is wrapped around, with retention slots or snaps to hold the coil securely in place inside a sterilization pouch or rigid medical blister tray.

Unlike our curved HDPE mounting card designed for shorter, pre-formed catheter loops, the round mounting card is optimized for longer catheters (100cm+) that need to be coiled into multiple loops. The circular shape eliminates sharp bend points, reducing stress on catheter tubing and extending product shelf life. All production is performed in our ISO 7 (Class 10000) cleanroom under ISO 13485 quality management system, with full material traceability and biocompatibility documentation available for every batch.

Key Design Advantages

Circular Design for Stress-Free Catheter Coils

The perfect circular form holds long catheters in smooth, even loops with no sharp bend points, eliminating kinking and tubing stress that can damage catheter coatings or affect device performance. The round shape is optimized for 100cm+ catheters that require 2-3 coil loops, reducing long-term packaging-related device failure rates by over 75% compared to rectangular cards.

Custom Retention Features & Center Holes

Every round mounting card can be customized with retention slots, snap tabs, center holes, notches and cutouts to match your exact catheter winding pattern and fixation requirements. We can design cards with center hubs for catheter connector fixation, perimeter slots for coil retention, or custom cutouts for accessory components. All features are precision die-cut to ±0.2mm tolerance for consistent fit.

Medical Grade HDPE or PP Material Options

Round mounting cards are available in medical grade HDPE (for high rigidity and chemical resistance) or medical grade PP (for better flexibility and gamma sterilization stability). Both materials come with full ISO 10993 biocompatibility certification, no harmful leachables, and consistent material properties across every batch. We help you select the optimal material based on your catheter type, sterilization method and packaging requirements.

Smooth Burr-Free Edges & Cleanroom Production

All round mounting cards are die-cut with precision steel rule dies, producing perfectly smooth, burr-free circular edges that will not puncture sterile pouches, scratch catheter coatings, or tear packaging materials. All production takes place in our ISO 7 (Class 10000) cleanroom under ISO 13485 quality management, with 100% visual inspection, particle control and full batch traceability from raw material to finished product.

Material & Sterilization Compatibility

Our round medical mounting cards are available in two medical grade material options, both compatible with the most common interventional device sterilization methods:

Material Key Properties Sterilization Compatibility Best For
Medical Grade HDPE High rigidity, excellent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption EO, E-beam, low-dose Gamma Coronary catheters, guidewires, standard interventional kits
Medical Grade PP Good flexibility, excellent gamma stability, no brittleness after irradiation EO, Gamma (high dose), E-beam Electrophysiology catheters, ablation devices, high-dose gamma sterilized products

Both materials are not recommended for steam autoclave sterilization due to their relatively low melting points. The round mounting card works as part of a complete sterile barrier system when paired with Tyvek lids, medical grade paper, or sterilization pouches. We can provide complete packaging system solutions including the round mounting card, blister tray, lid material and outer pouch for your full device package.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What diameter round card do I need for my catheter?

A: The required diameter depends on your catheter length, tubing stiffness and desired number of coil loops. As a general reference: 80mm diameter works for 80-120cm catheters with 2 loops, 120mm diameter works for 120-180cm catheters with 2-3 loops, 150mm+ diameter works for 180-300cm+ catheters with 3-5 loops. We will calculate the optimal diameter for your specific catheter during our free design review, and provide prototype samples for you to test the winding pattern.

Q: Can you make a center hole or custom retention slots on the round card?

A: Yes, absolutely. We can customize round mounting cards with any combination of center holes (for catheter connector fixation), perimeter retention slots (to hold coil loops in place), snap tabs, notches, cutouts for accessory components, and custom printing. All features are precision die-cut to ±0.1mm tolerance for consistent fit. Just send us your catheter winding pattern or packaging design, and we will recommend the optimal feature layout.

Q: Should I choose HDPE or PP material for my round mounting card?

A: The material choice depends primarily on your sterilization method and catheter type. HDPE is more rigid and cost-effective, and works well for EO and E-beam sterilization, making it ideal for standard coronary catheters and guidewires. PP has better flexibility and superior high-dose gamma sterilization stability (no brittleness or discoloration after irradiation), making it the better choice for electrophysiology catheters and ablation devices that use high-dose gamma sterilization. We will help you select the optimal material during our free design review based on your specific requirements.

Q: What is the lead time and MOQ for custom round mounting cards?

A: The standard MOQ for custom round mounting cards is 5,000 pieces after die completion. We also offer smaller prototype runs of 50-200 pieces for fit testing and validation before mass production. Typical lead time: 2-3 days for design review and quotation, 5-7 days for prototype samples, 10-15 days for production die manufacturing and first article validation, and 7-10 days for mass production. Total lead time from design approval to mass production delivery is approximately 3-4 weeks. Rush timelines can be accommodated for urgent projects.
