Need a low-cost and trouble-free model?
SimuMed has your Solution!
We are a team of biomedical engineering students whose members come from various research labs, and we all understand the importance of finding cheaper and simpler alternatives for the sake of research (and development!).
At SimuMed, each model is designed to simulate cardiac catheter landmarks using accessible and low cost materials. With this approach, we have lowered the cost of a single device by roughly 96% of the lowest competing price. And in the quest to improve R&D quality, our devices have been customized to be mountable on testing machines, like an Instron®, enhancing testing convenience.
Competitor Analysis
| Price per Unit* | Instron® Compatibility | Purpose | Accessibility | |
 | ~$375 | No | Clinical training | Limited |
 | ~$13,500 | No | R&D, Training | Limited |
 | ~$15** | Yes | R&D, Training | High |
** Refers to the estimated manufacturing cost per unit
By the year of 2027, the global market for catheters is estimated to reach $42.5 billion*.
*Based on a CAGR of 6.6% from the years 2022-2027, according to BCC Research
In light of the growing market for catheters, SimuMed has collaborated with Johnson and Johnson® in developing these simulation models, providing a more accessible and convenient testing method for engineers.
Audience
Our devices are intended for use in the research and development departments of medical device companies.
Novelty
As of 2025, few models on the market are compatible with Instron® systems.
Marketing
Promotion is carried out through outreach campaigns and presentations at industry symposiums and conferences.
