Neurovascular disorders, such as stroke, cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations(AVMs), and intracranial stenosis, pose a major global health crisis, affecting millions annually with stroke alone impacting over 15 million people worldwide each year, resulting in widespread disabilities, high mortality rates, and mounting socioeconomic burdens driven by aging populations, rising hypertension, diabetes, and lifestyle-related vascular risks. Microcatheters play a pivotal role in minimally invasive neurovascular interventions, enabling precise navigation through intricate cerebral vasculature to deliver therapeutic agents like embolic coils for aneurysm occlusion, thrombolytics foracute stroke treatment, or flow diverters and stents for vessel remodeling, often incorporating advanced materials such as nitinol for flexibility and platinum for radiopacity to ensure tight tolerances, superior biocompatibility, and reduced thrombogenicity for these miniature devices.
Lighteum Medical improves outcomes for neurovascular patients by partnering with leading medical device manufacturers and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) globally, offering biocompatible solutions in our neurovascular product categories that leverage material science and advanced manufacturability expertise to ensure quality, sustainability, and ISO compliance—from precious metal wire used in embolization coils and tips, to nitinol stents and flow diverters crafted with femtosecond laser cutting, electropolishing for superior biocompatibility and reduced thrombogenicity, and high-volume automation and swiss micromachining of miniature medical components.
Lighteum Medical has continued to be an incredibly supportive partner to our business. They deliver high quality products on time and are cost competitive, communicative, and accommodating to our needs … ”
