Poba Medical

Poba Medical operates as a specialized contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) within the medical device sector, focusing on medical balloons and catheter systems. The company differentiates itself through extensive material expertise (offering Nylon, Pebax, Urethane, PET, and its proprietary Poba 51™), customization capabilities, and a 'Balloon University' initiative aimed at educating the market. With an ISO-certified 20,000 sq. ft. facility, it supports over 100 unique projects annually, targeting shorter lead times and serving a range of clients from clinician-inventors to large OEMs. Its business model is service-based, generating revenue through custom development contracts and direct sales of standard components via its Chamfr online store.

Proprietary and blended polymer material science (Nylon, Pebax, Urethane, PET, Poba 51™) for medical balloon fabrication, coupled with custom design, development, prototyping, and full-scale manufacturing services for balloon catheters and related devices.

Poba competes with large, diversified medical device CDMOs (e.g., Nordson MEDICAL, Teleflex Contract Manufacturing) and the internal manufacturing divisions of major medtech companies. It differentiates through material science specialization, customization agility, shorter lead times, and its educational 'Balloon University' platform, targeting clients underserved by larger, less flexible competitors.
