Peripheral and coronary artery disease affects millions of people around the world – and treating it effectively requires navigating complex anatomies while keeping procedures as minimally invasive as possible.

For one of our Life Science customers, the challenge was clear: how to deliver reliable, high-pressure gas control in a device compact and ergonomic enough to support delicate surgical interventions.

Collaborating closely with the customer, our engineering team developed an innovative solution – a new integrated pneumatic control system, built around a novel medical-grade CO₂ delivery mechanism. This allowed us to reduce the size and complexity of the device, aligning it with the ergonomic needs of operating physicians and enabling greater precision and ease during procedures.

Traditional systems were often too bulky or difficult to handle in constrained surgical environments. By streamlining the design without compromising performance, we helped create a smarter, more agile device that enhances a surgeon’s control and confidence – ultimately supporting better outcomes for patients.

This project is a powerful example of how IMI is at the forefront of Life Science technology. We develop cutting-edge fluid control and detection solutions that enable Life Science OEMs to accelerate drug discovery, diagnose disease earlier, and provide highly tailored, patient-focused critical care – saving lives. 

“Our customers work with us because of our deep ability to understand the problems they face. The combination of our innovative and collaborative nature, understanding of the science and application expertise, and global engineering and manufacturing footprint allows us to bring tremendous value to our customers.”
