Stop guessing with physical prototypes. Validate your design with rigorous engineering calculations
A single complex prototype often costs $5,000+ and takes weeks to fabricate and test. VirtuCath allows you to evaluate hundreds of design variants digitally in an afternoon, ensuring your first physical build is based on calculated data, not intuition.
VirtuCath employs Classical Lamination Theory to provide rigorous analytical solutions for your composite mechanics. For complex steering dynamics, the software leverages a specialized implementation of the MuJoCo physics engine, tuned to capture non-linear catheter behavior with high fidelity.
Bypass the steep learning curve of traditional FEA. The interface is built for R&D engineers, allowing you to extract actionable mechanical data like flexural stiffness and torque response without needing a dedicated simulation analyst.
Go beyond simple tubing. Accurately capture the mechanical interaction between liners, tie-layers, and reinforcements. Define multi-segment shafts with variable braid densities and transition zones to predict true device performance.
Your IP never leaves your hardware. The software executes strictly on your local machine with zero cloud dependency or background data transfer. Design with confidence knowing your proprietary device specifications are never uploaded, tracked, or stored externally.
Advanced physics doesn't require a supercomputer. The solver is highly optimized for standard CPUs, delivering workstation-class performance on your existing laptop without the need for expensive GPUs or cloud compute subscriptions.
A streamlined workflow designed to bridge the gap between initial sketch and final prototype.
Build your catheter section-by-section using an intuitive interface designed for engineers.
Before you simulate motion, validate the fundamental mechanics. The catheter calculator provides immediate feedback on your design's physical properties.
Powered by the MuJoCo physics engine, VirtuCath turns your static layup into a dynamic digital twin, allowing you to test performance on a virtual bench.
Don't just watch it move, measure it. Get a live feed of critical performance data as you actuate the device.
Instantly calculate pre- and post-reflow dimensions so you can order the right extrusions the first time without guesswork.
