Minivalve International

I purchased several off the shelf valves for R&D development test systems, but also required a custom design valve for a specific application. I was very happy with the fast turnaround on the catalog components, but felt that the time for the custom valve took too long to arrive and was more costly that other companies. I would recommend Minivalve for catalog valve components.

Strengths: variety of off the shelf valves, customer service, custom design capabilities

Needs to improve: lead time on custom components

The custom valves we use from them are within our pump Syringe release system for Coils. We have two types of release sytems for our coils. The pump Syringe type uses these custom valves. They need to be reliable for medical use as a doctor is releasing a coil, it must work.

Strengths: The catalog for common valves is extensive
Custom Valves Quality

Needs to improve: For Custom orders the price is high and the lead times are long

I have worked with MiniValve to identify and source cross slit valves for an introducer device. The staff at MiniValve was very knowledgable and helpful in developing the correct solution.

Strengths: Catalog and custom valves

Needs to improve: None
