We will explore the intricacies of multi-layered catheters, discussing how this technology is unlocking new avenues in medicine. Damian will help us understand the difference between over the wire (OTW) and rapid exchange (RX) designs, as well as the distinction between an angioplasty balloon catheter and a steerable/deflection catheter for transeptal access.

In addition, we'll examine new and emerging process technologies for catheters, including film-cast coatings, thin-wall extrusions, and laser cut processing. Damian will then provide an overview of Eyedea's "Catheter Dynamics Workshops" and their highly acclaimed "Catheter Design Handbook".
