FFS760S
Dual In-line Balloon Pleating and Folding

MSI FFS760S PTCA Balloon Catheter Pleating and Folding Equipment doubles machine output through the use of dual in-line Wavepleat™ and fold heads.

The MSI FFS760S PTCA Balloon Catheter Pleating and Folding Equipment doubles machine output through the use of dual in-line Wavepleat™ and fold heads. This machine allows for processing on one set of heads while the other set is being loaded, effectively allowing a single operator to simultaneously control two machines. Integrated vision systems eliminate manual positioning variability and associated yield loss by automatically positioning balloons into the pleat/fold heads.

The FFS760S is PAC controlled with PC/HMI touch screen user interface. The machine base features dual automated top loading v-blocks with removable Press-Sure™ catheter sealing devices ideal for processing RX distal sub-assemblies. The product handling system can be equipped with a variety of optional luer attachment fixtures.
