Vascular Flow Technologies

Vascular Flow Technologies is a United Kingdom medical device development company based in Dundee, Scotland. It describes itself as an ISO 13485 Medical Device Development company with unique insight and capabilities in pre-clinical development and testing, focused on the research and development of cardiovascular devices. Its work centres on three main service areas: Spiral Laminar Flow Technology, Medical Device Development, and Contract Manufacturing. The company's signature technology is Spiral Laminar Flow Technology, which it says restores the natural pattern of blood flow and can be integrated into development partners' vascular and endovascular products. Vascular Flow positions this technology as a way to improve blood flow performance in cardiovascular devices, and it offers the technology to partners rather than only selling finished devices under its own name. Beyond technology licensing and integration, Vascular Flow provides medical device development services from concept to commercialisation. These include computer aided design, in vitro flow services and bench modelling, ISO standard performance testing, project management and delivery, and prototyping and testing. The company works with manufacturers, inventors, designers, universities, and SMEs, and says it has taken multiple medical device products from design to full commercialisation. It emphasises cost-effective solutions for clients facing financial constraints in cardiovascular device development. Vascular Flow also operates a Class 7 cleanroom for medical device manufacture, assembly, and packaging. Its contract manufacturing services include contract assembly, contract packaging, injection moulding, and label printing, aimed at clients with early-stage or low-volume needs. The company offers final packaging fulfilment and onward logistical support, and it stresses that intellectual property relating to a client's medical device remains the client's property. Craig Dunlop is identified as General Manager, having joined Vascular Flow in May 2014 with over 20 years of industry experience as a medical device engineer and manager, including prior roles at Vascutek Ltd. The company presents itself as a flexible, adaptive team with a can-do attitude, and its recurring message is: "We will listen, we can help."

Vascular Flow Technologies is a medical device development company based in Dundee, United Kingdom. Public records identify it as a company in Dundee, and its own website presents it as an ISO 13485 Medical Device Development company with unique insight and capabilities in pre-clinical development and testing. Its stated focus is the research and development of cardiovascular devices with the application of its Spiral Laminar Flow Technology to restore the natural pattern of blood flow. The company's development has been shaped around three connected activities. The first is Spiral Laminar Flow Technology, which Vascular Flow offers to development partners for integration into their vascular and endovascular products. The second is medical device development services, through which the company collaborates with manufacturers, inventors, and designers to bring new cardiovascular medical devices to market, covering computer aided design, in vitro flow services and bench modelling, ISO standard performance testing, project management and delivery, and prototyping and testing. The third is contract manufacturing, supported by a Class 7 cleanroom for medical device manufacture, assembly, and packaging, including contract assembly, contract packaging, injection moulding, and label printing. A notable leadership milestone is the arrival of Craig Dunlop as General Manager in May 2014. Dunlop brought over 20 years of industry experience as a medical device engineer and manager, with previous positions at Vascutek Ltd as OEM Technical Manager and Development and Operations Manager for ePTFE Products. His background in vascular device development and operations aligns with Vascular Flow's cardiovascular focus. Vascular Flow describes itself as a flexible and adaptive team with a can-do attitude, working with companies, universities, inventors, and SMEs. It emphasises that it has taken multiple medical device products from design to full commercialisation, and that it understands the financial constraints of developing new cardiovascular medical devices, aiming to deliver cost-effective solutions. The company also highlights that intellectual property relating to a client's medical device remains the client's property when working with Vascular Flow on a development project. Its recurring client-facing message, "We will listen, we can help," reflects a service-oriented positioning. The company operates from Dundee and serves clients seeking early-stage or low-volume medical device development, testing, assembly, and packaging, with a particular specialisation in cardiovascular and endovascular applications.
