Braiding machine
Multiple spools of material — metal wire or polymer fibres — are intertwined to form the braided pattern that becomes the sheath wall.

Access decides everything after it.
SUHA Medical builds braided sheath introducers, short sheaths and guide wires — the first centimetres of an interventional procedure, engineered so the rest of the case can proceed on the operator's terms.
The company
A device company built
around one moment.
Everything a SUHA product does happens in the seconds between the needle and the first catheter. We build for that moment — and for the operator who has to trust it without looking twice.
01
Braided, not simply moulded
The sheath wall begins on a braiding machine, where wire or polymer fibres are intertwined into the structure that gives the device its strength and its response.
02
Seven stages, one roof
Material preparation, braiding, extrusion, cutting, heat treatment, coating and packaging — a single continuous line rather than an assembly of imported parts.
03
Built in the Kingdom
A Saudi manufacturing capability for vascular access, developed for the region's hospitals and intended to travel well beyond them.
The range
Three instruments.
One access system.
A focused set of devices for the first and most critical moments of a percutaneous procedure — sized, braided and finished to work together.
Long Sheath Introducers
Intended to be inserted percutaneously into a blood vessel during an interventional operation, guiding angiographic catheters, guiding catheters, balloon catheters and other similar catheters into artery and vein.
Braided wallArtery and veinCatheter delivery
Short Sheath
Provides access to dialysis fistulas and grafts. A single access point serves declot, angioplasty, thrombolysis and other procedures, as well as temporary haemodialysis — with transitions and material characteristics chosen for smooth entry.
Dialysis accessDeclotTemporary haemodialysis
Guide Wire
Intended to facilitate the delivery of catheter-based interventional devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). May also be used with compatible stent devices during therapeutic procedures.

Clinical applications
Used to provide access
to the arterial system.
A variety of percutaneous procedures begin with the same requirement: a predictable route into the vessel. These are the ones SUHA products are made for.

Manufacturing technology
The machines that make the wall.
Six pieces of equipment define what a SUHA sheath can do. Each one sets a property the clinician eventually feels in their hand.
Extrusion machine
Extrudes the inner core of the sheath, providing structural support and flexibility.
Cutting machine
Cuts the braided sheath to the desired length, ensuring precise and uniform cuts.
Heat treatment oven
Heat-treats the braided sheath, enhancing its mechanical properties and stability.
Coating machine
Applies a protective coating or lubricant to the braided sheath, improving durability and performance.
Packaging equipment
Packages the finished braided sheaths for storage and distribution.
The process
From spool to sterile pack.
Seven stages, in order. Nothing skips ahead.
01
Material preparation
Raw materials — metal wire or polymer fibres — are prepared for use in the braiding machine.
02
Braiding
The prepared materials are fed into the braiding machine, where they are intertwined to create the braided structure of the sheath.
03
Extrusion
The inner core of the sheath is extruded, providing support and flexibility.
04
Cutting
The braided sheath is cut to the desired length, ensuring uniformity in the final product.
05
Heat treatment
The cut braided sheaths are heat-treated to enhance their mechanical properties and stability.
06
Coating
A protective coating or lubricant is applied to the braided sheaths, improving durability and performance.
07
Packaging
The finished braided sheaths are packaged for storage and distribution.

Quality & trust
Say less than you can prove.
Hospitals, distributors and regulators all ask the same question in different words: what can you evidence? So we publish what is true today, and add to it as the facility, the documentation and the approvals come through.
Cleanroom production
Controlled environments with filtered air, specialised flooring and stringent hygiene protocols, to prevent contamination of the sheaths during production.
Purpose-built production area
A spacious, well-ventilated and properly lit production floor laid out around the workflow and the people running it.
Facility protection
Fire detection and suppression, emergency exits, first aid stations, surveillance, access control and perimeter security.
Codes and approvals
Construction and building design planned against local building codes, zoning regulations and safety standards, with permits obtained before work begins.
