What Concept Medical does
Concept Medical Research Private Limited is a privately held medical device company founded in 2008 that develops sirolimus-based drug delivery platforms for vascular interventions. The company serves interventional cardiologists and vascular specialists globally, operating through direct enterprise field sales in over 80 countries. Primary therapeutic indications are coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral artery disease (PAD), arteriovenous fistula/graft maintenance for hemodialysis patients, and vasculogenic erectile dysfunction. The corporate footprint spans Surat, India (manufacturing and registered office), Tampa, Florida (US headquarters), and Hoevelaken, the Netherlands (European headquarters), with Fort Lee, New Jersey serving as an administrative office.
The product portfolio is built on three proprietary technology platforms: Nanolute Technology (submicron sirolimus encapsulated in phospholipid for improved lipophilicity and tissue retention), Nanoactive Technology (pro-healing submicron particles for faster endothelialization and lower late-lumen loss), and Envisolution Technology (abluminal-only sirolimus coating with biodegradable polymer used in the Abluminus stent line). The MagicTouch family of sirolimus-coated balloons includes four indication-specific variants — SCB (coronary), PTA (peripheral), AVF (dialysis access), and ED (erectile dysfunction). MagicTouch SCB received the world's first CE Mark for a commercially approved sirolimus-coated balloon in coronary use in 2016. The Abluminus DES+ (biodegradable polymer) and Abluminus NP DES (polymer-free) extend the franchise into drug-eluting stents, with the latter receiving CE Mark approval in 2026. The company holds five FDA Investigational Device Exemption approvals for US pivotal clinical trials.
Concept Medical generates revenue through hardware sales of medical devices to hospitals and healthcare institutions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, varying by procedure type, volume, and geography. The company claims one of the largest sirolimus-coated balloon clinical programs globally, with over 10,000 patients studied across trials including SIRONA (88.2% vs 80.2% freedom from clinically-driven TLR at 3 years versus paclitaxel-coated balloon, HR 0.60, p=0.03), SirPAD (1,252 patients), and the ongoing STARS DAPT trial. No revenue figures, venture capital investors, or institutional ownership are disclosed; the company appears to be founder-controlled with a single disclosed $60M funding round in 2018.

Product offeringCore offering
Concept Medical develops and manufactures advanced endovascular medical devices based on proprietary sirolimus drug-delivery platforms. The company produces Drug-Coated Balloons (MagicTouch SCB, PTA, AVF, ED) and Drug-Eluting Stents (Abluminus DES+, Abluminus NP DES) used by interventional cardiologists and vascular surgeons for the treatment of coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, dialysis access maintenance, and vasculogenic erectile dysfunction. Revenue is generated primarily through direct sales of these physical medical devices to hospitals and healthcare institutions in over 80 countries.
Product overview
Concept Medical is a medical device company specializing in sirolimus-based drug delivery platforms for cardiovascular and peripheral vascular interventions. The product portfolio centers on two main technology platforms: Drug-Coated Balloons (DCB) and Drug-Eluting Stents (DES). The MagicTouch family of sirolimus-coated balloons includes four indications: MagicTouch SCB for coronary artery disease, MagicTouch PTA for peripheral arterial disease, MagicTouch AVF for dialysis fistulas/grafts, and MagicTouch ED for erectile dysfunction. The Abluminus DES+ offers an abluminal sirolimus coating with biodegradable polymer for high-risk patients, while Abluminus NP DES provides a polymer-free sirolimus stent option. Supporting accessories include the Midas PTA Dilatation Catheter and Transport AC. All products leverage proprietary technologies (Nanolute, Nanoactive, Envisolution) for efficient sirolimus delivery without permanent implantation in the case of DCBs.

Products and services
- MagicTouch SCB Sirolimus-Coated Balloon for the treatment of coronary artery disease. The world's first commercially approved SCB for coronary use (CE Mark in 2016). Delivers sirolimus directly to vessel walls during angioplasty without leaving any permanent implant.
- MagicTouch PTA Sirolimus-Coated PTA (Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty) Balloon Catheter for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease. Uses Nanolute technology for precise sirolimus delivery and uniform coating with no implant left behind.
- MagicTouch AVF Sirolimus-Coated Balloon for arteriovenous fistula/graft (AVF/AVG) maintenance in dialysis patients. Designed to maintain patency of dialysis-related fistulas and grafts without permanent implantation.
- MagicTouch ED Sirolimus-Coated Balloon for the treatment of vasculogenic erectile dysfunction. Offers a drug-coated balloon approach for this indication using the proprietary Nanolute sirolimus delivery platform.
- ABLUMINUS DES+ Drug-eluting stent with abluminal sirolimus coating and Fusion coating technology combined with biodegradable polymer. Features abluminally-only coating for targeted healing, designed for diabetic and high-risk patients. Coating on both stent and exposed balloon parts facilitates homogenous drug delivery addressing diffused proliferative disease and focal restenosis.
- ABLUMINUS NP DES Polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stent designed to minimize long-term inflammation and foreign body response while supporting faster healing. Uses Nanoactive technology for submicron drug delivery and enhanced tissue retention.
- Midas PTA Dilatation Catheter PTA dilatation catheter accessory for use in peripheral interventions. Part of Concept Medical's accessory portfolio supporting their drug-coated balloon and drug-eluting stent product lines.
- Transport AC Accessory product for catheter-based procedures. Part of Concept Medical's accessory portfolio supporting their vascular intervention product lines.

- Becton Dickinson (BD): BD's Lutonix drug-coated balloon (acquired via Bard) competes directly with MagicTouch PTA in peripheral arterial disease and with broader DES portfolios via its peripheral vascular franchise.
- Boston Scientific: Boston Scientific markets the Agent drug-coated balloon and Promus DES portfolio — overlapping with Concept Medical across both DCB and DES categories in coronary and peripheral vascular interventions.
Direct peers
- Biotronik: Biotronik markets the Orsiro sirolimus-eluting stent and Pantera Lux DCB — overlapping technology platforms (sirolimus drug-eluting) and overlapping customer base in interventional cardiology.
- Cordis (Cardinal Health): Cordis's SELUTION SLR sirolimus-coated balloon is the closest direct competitor to MagicTouch — same active pharmaceutical, same DCB mechanism, similar coronary and peripheral indication strategy.
- B. Braun: B. Braun's SeQuent Please is one of the most established sirolimus-coated balloons in Europe, directly competing with Concept Medical's MagicTouch SCB in the same cath-lab use case with the same active pharmaceutical.
Emerging players
- SurModics: SurModics develops drug-coated balloon coating technology used by partners to commercialize DCBs — directly adjacent to Concept Medical's Nanolute platform in the DCB value chain.
