Complex Catheters
Three Blender models designed around a Destino™ bi-directional guiding sheth type handle to showcase complex catheter manufacturing capabilities in sales presentations and an MDO newsletter.
TL;DR: I modeled three catheters tips in Blender (1) Single-Shot Pulse Field Ablation catheter (PFA) with a guidewire, (2) Large Area Focal catheter, and (3) Focal Ablation catheter with irrigated tip, all sharing a Destino™ handle.
Context
Sales needed visuals to explain manufacturing capabilities without exposing proprietary CAD. Marketing also needed editorial-friendly imagery for a trade press newsletter piece (MDO).
My Role
- Reference gathering and look-dev
- Modeling , UVs, materials
- Lighting, rendering, and post
- Delivery templates for PowerPoint + press
The Models
- Single-Shot PFA Catheter (with guidewire)
- Basket geometry with evenly spaced electrodes; guidewire pathing for scale and orientation.
- Emphasis on conductor routing and insulation layers without sharing exact internals.
- Large-Area Focal Catheter
- Expanded electrode footprint; shaft markers and strain-relief details for manufacturing cues.
- Focal Ablation Catheter (Irrigated Tip)
- Perforation patterning on the tip; subtle fluid cues in renders to imply irrigation without simulation overhead.
All three share a Destino™ handle (form/fairing inspired by common steerable handle ergonomics) to unify the set.
Usage
- Sales presentations: Slides highlighting electrode options, handle ergonomics, and irrigation patterns.
- Editorial: Selected stills formatted for MDO.
Aspiration Catheter
Created an aspiration catheter in Blender, rendered and composited in After Effects into a social post highlighting speed to market.
