High-Performance Braided Medical Textile Cable Solutions Engineered to Perform When It Matters Most
When innovation is critical and failure is not an option, you need a partner with proven expertise. Cortland Biomedical engineers high-performance braided textile cable solutions that power today’s most advanced surgical, diagnostic, and robotic systems.
From established clinical applications to emerging therapies, we leverage a 100+ year legacy of cables excellence to help bring complex device concepts to life—reliably, precisely, and at scale.
A Legacy of Precision
With decades of experience developing complex braided cable structures for minimally invasive devices, we help OEMs solve design challenges early—improving performance, manufacturability, and long-term reliability.
Purpose-Built for Today’s Complex Applications
We design cable solutions that enable strength, control, and precision in demanding environments from concept to scale, including:
- Robotic-assisted surgery
- Diagnostic and therapeutic catheters
- Electrophysiology catheters
- Cardiovascular and endovascular delivery systems
Electrophysiology
In electrophysiology (EP) applications, braided cable solutions help enable the precision, flexibility, and torque response required for advanced mapping, imaging, and ablation procedures. From cardiac mapping systems and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) catheters to ablation technologies, custom braid designs support steerable catheter systems with precise navigation and consistent device control in complex anatomies. Engineered for demanding EP environments, these high-performance braided structures are designed to balance tensile strength, stiffness, kink resistance, maneuverability, and durability while maintaining low-profile catheter designs.
Surgical Robotics
Robotic-assisted surgical systems rely on braided cable technologies to deliver responsive motion control, strength, and durability across highly articulated instruments. Custom textile cable solutions help optimize force transmission, fatigue resistance, and precision movement in minimally invasive procedures where accuracy and reliability are essential. Importantly, advanced polymer-based designs enable high tensile strength at very small diameters, often delivering exceptional strength-to-weight performance that supports miniaturization without compromising mechanical integrity.
Structural Heart and Endovascular
Braided cable solutions play a critical role in cardiovascular devices, namely structural heart and endovascular therapies, supporting steerability, pushability, and device deployment in demanding intravascular environments. Designed for performance in complex anatomies, these engineered structures help enable precise navigation and consistent mechanical performance across a wide range of catheter- and delivery-based systems.
Additional Minimally Invasive Applications
Beyond these core areas, custom braided cable solutions are increasingly used across other minimally invasive technologies, including endoscopy and next-generation diagnostic and therapeutic platforms. Their versatility allows engineers to tailor mechanical performance characteristics to the unique demands of each application.
Our team leverages advanced fibers and textile engineering techniques to deliver:
- High strength in low-profile designs
- Excellent fatigue resistance
- Smooth navigation through complex anatomies
- Consistent, repeatable performance
- Cost-effective alternatives
We support programs from early development through commercialization—balancing engineering rigor with the speed and flexibility needed to move innovation forward.
