(April 4, 2011) Laguna Niguel, CA – Interface Catheter Solutions announces today a major expansion of its extrusion offering beyond high-quality balloon tubing to full-service, custom medical extrusion.

In preparation for this new service Interface has built a new clean room, added additional extrusion equipment and assembled a dedicated and experienced extrusion team.  The extrusion team will be led by extrusion industry veteran, Fernando Lopez, who has recently joined as Director of Extrusion.  Interface now offers single lumen, multi-lumen, striping and multilayer co-extrusion, bump, and lead tubing.  Expanded capabilities also include a broader range of materials, and a wider variety of lumen shapes, sizes and tubing colors. 

With the added facilities, equipment and staff, Interface can offer rapid prototyping and competitive production lead times.  Our experienced engineering team custom-designs the best extrusion process for customer’s production needs. The result is tubing with high-performance characteristics and tight tolerances.

 “Our many years of experience in balloon catheter manufacturing gives us the expertise to expand our extrusion product offerings and provide a more all-inclusive development and manufacturing service,"  says Gary Curtis, President and CEO of Interface. “Interface will deliver the same high value and quality to full-service catheter extrusion that our balloon tubing customers have come to expect."
