Vascular Solutions helps answer the age-old question, "How do you mend a broken heart?" The company develops and markets proprietary blood-clotting bandages, clot-removal catheters, and other products used during vascular medical procedures. The firm makes the D-Stat, a hemostat bandage used to control surgical bleeding. It also makes the Pronto extraction catheter, which removes arterial clots, and the Vari-Lase, a laser system for treating varicose veins. Vascular Solutions markets the devices to interventional cardiologists and radiologists through its own sales team in the US; it uses independent distributors overseas except in Germany, where its Vascular Solutions GmbH subsidiary handles sales. To read the full description, subscribe now.
