Design Paradigms
Modular Systems
combine independently designed subsystems or modules to form a functioning, unitary product.
Integrated Systems
are designed as a single structure with one set of product functions.
Existing Catheter Paradigm: Minimally invasive surgical catheters are only designed as integrated systems
The Covellus Modular System is simple.
It enables physicians to to create catheter devices by combining two independent modules at the distal end...
