Symmetry Laser

What Symmetry Laser does

Symmetry Laser is a precision contract manufacturer founded in 2021 and headquartered in Davis, California, specializing in laser-cut hypotubes (LCHTs) used as catheter reinforcement in minimally invasive medical devices. Its core technology is proprietary in-house-designed fiber laser tube cutting equipment combined with a custom real-time paperless manufacturing system, capable of achieving kerf widths as tight as .001" (25.4µm) and tolerances of approximately ±.0003" across stainless steel (304, 316, 17-7), cobalt chrome (MP35N, L605), and nitinol materials. The company also performs in-house cleaning per ASTM A380 and Nitric 2 passivation per ASTM A967, and offers partner-sourced add-on services such as laser welding, electropolishing, laser marking, EDM, and ECG.

Symmetry Laser sells to medical device OEMs globally, with a primary focus on cardiovascular, neurovascular, structural heart, and steerable catheter applications. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for custom prototyping and production runs (typical lead times of 3-5 days for prototypes) with a self-service marketplace channel via Chamfr for 200+ off-the-shelf SKUs that ship within 24 hours. The company maintains a stocked tubing program with 400+ pre-sized 304 stainless steel hypotubes and over 1 million feet of inventory to enable rapid development cycles. It holds ISO 13485:2016 certification (renewed 2025-2028) and ships every lot with a Certificate of Conformance and full material traceability.

The business model is project-based custom manufacturing plus standard stocked tubing sales, with revenue concentrated in custom laser cut hypotube orders and supplemented by marketplace transactions. Recent strategic activity includes a January 2025 facility expansion to 11,000 sq ft, the January 2026 acquisition of ArcRev to broaden technical capabilities and scale, and a $50 million funding round closed on February 18, 2026. The company is privately held and led by co-founders Nick Zanobini (CEO, ex-Resonetics/Aduro/Boston Scientific) and Jay Vinson (CCO, ex-Resonetics/Guidant).

• Donatelle: Donatelle is a medical device contract manufacturer specializing in catheter components, molded plastics, and assembly for interventional OEMs; it is comparable to Symmetry as another specialized Tier-2 supplier in the catheter component supply chain.
• Nordson MEDICAL: Nordson MEDICAL is a large diversified medical device component supplier offering catheter shafts, tubing, and engineered components; it overlaps with Symmetry in catheter reinforcement but at broader scale across many other medical device product lines.
• Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical: Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical is a global contract manufacturer of polymer and silicone medical device components including catheter-related products; it competes in catheter shaft and tubing markets but at a much broader portfolio scale than Symmetry.
• Tegra Medical: Tegra Medical is a contract manufacturer of complex medical devices and components, including catheter and interventional device subassemblies; it serves overlapping OEM customers with broader capabilities than laser-cut tubing alone.

Others

• Chamfr: Chamfr is a B2B medical component marketplace where Symmetry Laser lists over 200 off-the-shelf laser-cut hypotubes for prototyping customers; it is a distribution and demand-generation partner rather than a competitor, but it shapes the customer acquisition funnel Symmetry depends on.
