Catheter R&D Is Iteration-Heavy. Mandrel Sourcing Should Not Be the Bottleneck.
Catheter development at the early prototype stage runs on a specific rhythm: design a build, test it on the bench, learn something, change a dimension, try again. The cycles are short on purpose. The point of early R&D is to find out what works before committing to a direction, and that means trying configurations the team would not have tried if each attempt were expensive. The hidden tax on this rhythm is mandrel sourcing. A catheter build needs a mandrel — a precision-grou
