What Arrotek Medical does

Arrotek Medical is a private medical device design consultancy and contract manufacturer specializing in minimally invasive devices, including therapeutic and delivery catheters, guidewires, specialty needles, cannulas, stylets, and micro-needles. The company operates across three facilities in Sligo, Ireland (EU headquarters, 50,000 sqft), North Attleboro, Massachusetts (72,000 sqft, 200 employees, Centre of Excellence for Metals Manufacturing), and Coyol, Costa Rica (4,000 sqm, 230 employees, ISO Class 8 cleanroom), giving it a tri-continental footprint with FDA-registered and ISO 13485:2016 certified operations. Its technical differentiation rests on proprietary guidewire core technologies (CenteRing, CoilCoat, DuoCore, Eureka), ultra-thin-walled catheter capabilities down to 0.1mm wall thickness, and a codified Six-Step Medical Device Product Design Process, supplemented by a dedicated Metal Manufacturing Centre of Excellence for stroke, structural heart, and stent devices.

The company runs a sales-led, consultative go-to-market targeting two customer segments: medtech startups needing design, prototyping, and regulatory pathway clarity, and established OEM medical device companies seeking external R&D capacity and scalable contract manufacturing. Revenue is generated through project-based design and development services (including the fixed-scope 90-180 day Prototype Sprint), full-scale contract manufacturing of catheters, guidewires, needles, and precision components, and standalone regulatory and quality services covering 510(k), EU MDR, and design history file compilation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; Arrotek publishes a free Design Estimate Calculator and engages on quotes per project. Named customers include Terumo, Hologic, Nano4Imaging, SmartWise, Neurescue, Nevent, and VascularFlow, spanning structural heart, neurovascular, vascular, diagnostics, MRI, and urological applications.

Arrotek is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Theragenics Corporation, a US-based diversified medtech group, and traces its current scale to the 2018 acquisitions of NeedleTech Products and Concert Medical, which were consolidated under the Arrotek brand. The leadership team is anchored by co-founders Mark Pugh (CEO of parent Theragenics) and Ger O'Carroll (Commercial Director), alongside senior technical leaders with decades of med device experience at J&J DePuy Synthes, Baxter, Becton Dickinson, and Veranex. Recent strategic activity includes a 2024 Costa Rica facility launch, a 2024 US cleanroom expansion, partnerships with Nano4Imaging (2024) and ProVascTec (2025), and the March 2026 launch of the Prototype Sprint Package.
