Client Background

A Southern California medical device start-up company developed an intravascular temperature management system that enabled the clinician to raise or lower the patient’s core temperature depending on the clinical situation.

Client Challenge

This technology involved a piece of capital equipment and a disposable catheter. One of the critical components was the accessory kit used to facilitate the transfer of temperature to the patient’s body.

LSO’s Role

Life Science Outsourcing was selected to manufacture the kit utilized with this system. The key components of the kit included a complex bonding process requiring the development of a customized bonding process to properly secure plastic to metal. Life Science Outsourcing successfully fabricated these custom components, which became an integral part of the operating system.

Client Results

This organization has placed units worldwide and is the market leader in endovascular cooling. It was acquired in 2009 by a large organization with the objective of adding this new technology to their suite of products.
