Creganna Launches Next Generation Overjacketing Solution

Creganna Medical Devices launched its latest generation overjacketing technology - EzGlide Micro. Hypotube overjacketing is the application of a polymer overjacket to the outer diameter of a metal hypotube. EzGlide Micro is a substantial enhancement over existing solutions providing up to 75% reduction in overjacket wall thickness, according to the company. “Subsequent to positive market adoption of our first generation overjacketing solutions, our goal was to develop a new and improved version,” said Michael Howe, Innovation Centre Manager. “This new thin wall solution is particularly relevant for customers who are developing delivery systems for challenging anatomies or navigation of smaller vasculatures.
