What Intersurgical does

Intersurgical is a privately held, family-owned medical device company founded in 1984 in the United Kingdom, with US operations established in 1991 and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The company designs, manufactures, and globally distributes single-use medical devices for respiratory care and support, organized across five core product categories: Airway Management (airway devices, breathing filters, HMEs/HMEFs, patient connections, atomization and cricothyrotomy devices), Anesthesia (face masks, breathing circuits, CO₂ absorbents, EMS equipment), Critical Care (patient interfaces, breathing systems, humidification chambers, closed suction systems, oral care), Oxygen and Aerosol Therapy, and Home Care. Its technology is anchored in proprietary branded platforms including the i-gel® supraglottic airway family, i-flo™ high flow nasal cannula, Solus™ silicone laryngeal mask airways, the Push & Twist connection system, and STATPACKS EMS bags. The integrated business model covers design through manufacturing to direct global distribution, with dedicated country-specific operations and websites spanning more than 20 countries across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of single-use devices to enterprise healthcare customers — primarily hospitals (operating rooms, ICUs, emergency departments), emergency medical services / prehospital providers, and home care channels. In January 2022 Intersurgical acquired Pulmodyne Inc. (Indianapolis) to broaden its US manufacturing and EMS/resuscitation portfolio, and in December 2025 announced a $530 million acquisition of Teleflex's Acute Care and Interventional Urology businesses, expected to close in the second half of 2026 — together signalling an active, acquisition-driven expansion strategy on top of organic product launches.
