CathPrint AB & Trackwise agreement

Trackwise is pleased to announce it has signed a multi-year agreement with CathPrint AB, the Stockholm-based company with expertise in the development and manufacturing of medical device products. Although CathPrint is an existing Trackwise customer, the agreement paves the way for a longer term ramp up in volume.

CathPrint AB has developed CathPrint Technology®, a novel technology platform for the use of flexible printed circuit boards in advanced catheters. The agreement is for the supply of Trackwise’s IHT component parts for use in CathPrint’s products. The use of IHT enables cost-efficient incorporation of electronic components within catheters, probes and tubing in contrast to today’s typically handmade manufacturing.

Alongside Electric Vehicles and Aerospace, Medical is a key target market for Trackwise due to the weight and space saving properties of IHT alongside its reliability, functionality and ease of manufacture. Trackwise continues to explore significant potential customer opportunities in this sector.

Philip Johnston, CEO of Trackwise, commented:

“We’re delighted to be supporting CathPrint in its innovative work in catheter development and manufacturing. Today’s Agreement demonstrates the wide applicability of IHT across diverse end-markets and the ability of our engineers to successfully meet the needs of those markets, underlining our confidence in the opportunity for Trackwise.”

Bengt Kallback, CTO of CathPrint, said:

“We have successfully cooperated with Trackwise to develop our technology platform and look forward to continuing our work with them in the commercialisation phase. Their unique competence in this area is key to our continued expansion.”
