PARTNERSHIP

The Reason Behind The Partnership

Balloon development has been slowed down by long lead times, rigid processes, and disconnected vendors for far too long. Engineers are forced to wait on extrusion for weeks. Tooling timelines slip. Geometry changes cause rework. Iterations crawl.

For the first time ever, four of the most advanced specialists in the industry have united to build a fully integrated, end-to-end balloon development engine designed for maximum speed, manufacturability, and commercialization. This is four teams operating as one high-performance system.

Poba Medical
leads balloon engineering, geometry optimization, material selection, performance design, and manufacturability. With the capability to engineer balloons from 1mm to 45mm in diameter, 5mm to 320mm in length, and rated burst pressures up to 48 atm in Class 8 cleanrooms, Poba designs for real clinical performance and production scalability.
Renegade Extrusion
supports the design with the most precise tubing in the industry. Whether it’s single lumen, multi-lumen, or braided shafts, Renegade extrudes with micron-level wall control and can ship custom extrusion in as little as three days. With 40+ years of experience and a state-of-the-art facility, they ensure the backbone of every balloon is production-ready.
Springguard
transforms geometry and extrusion through advanced tooling and automated balloon forming technology. Their LírCath platforms deliver 1/3 the cycle time, 1/4 the footprint, and up to 33% more balloons per stick of tubing compared to legacy machines. With rotary stretch drives generating 120Nm of force and precision process control.
Chamfr
makes sure the final result doesn’t die in a lab. As the fastest sourcing platform in MedTech, Chamfr brings the winning balloon (and 2–3 additional top concepts) to market as SKUs that the entire industry can instantly access. Thousands of in-stock products, 100+ ISO-certified suppliers, full transparency, and commercial distribution; all in one place.

The Challenge

The QuickTurn Balloon Challenge is simple:
Submit your boldest balloon concept. Even as a sketch. If selected, our full-system team will design, extrude, tool, form, and commercialize your idea at record speed. No CAD required. No overthinking.

Balloon-only scope for Phase 1 ensures maximum speed and execution. All submissions remain confidential, and your name will only be shared if you approve it. This is your chance to bring an idea to life in days, not months and prove what’s possible when the right partners align.
