What Scitech Medical does
Scitech Medical (legal name Scitech Produtos Médicos S.A.) is a privately held Brazilian manufacturer of minimally invasive medical devices, founded in 2000 and headquartered in a 7,000 m² ISO 13485-certified technology center in Aparecida de Goiânia, Brazil. The company develops, manufactures, and distributes devices across four business segments: Interventional Cardiology (drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons, including the Inspiron, Inspiron EVO, and MagicTouch sirolimus-based systems with proprietary NanoLute drug-delivery technology), Endovascular (self-expanding Nitinol endoprostheses such as Solaris and Solaris BX, plus EVOH-based embolization systems Emboflow, Embosoft Plus, and Emboblock), Endoscopy (the Hanaro biliary stent family with multiple covering, anti-migration, and recapture configurations), and Endoscopic Surgery (Nexus stapling systems and Altussonic ultrasonic energy devices). Supporting accessories include guide catheters, hydrophilic and Teflon-coated guide wires, introducers, Mullins sheaths, snares, and inflation devices.
The company's business model is sales-led B2B hardware sales to healthcare institutions — hospitals, interventional cardiology centers, vascular surgery and interventional radiology units, GI endoscopy departments, and minimally invasive surgery departments — through a mix of direct sales force for priority accounts and a regional distributor network covering more than 45 countries. Product development is conducted in collaboration with Brazilian universities and research centers, and the company invests in clinical evidence generation, including the published INSTEMI Registry for the Inspiron stent and a 12-month European multicenter study for the Solaris SX Iliac stent. Revenue is generated via quotation-based sales of devices; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or public listing, and was subject to an adverse São Paulo appellate ruling in August 2024 in a Johnson & Johnson surgical stapler patent infringement case.

Scitech Medical is a Brazilian manufacturer of minimally invasive medical devices spanning four therapeutic areas: Interventional Cardiology (sirolimus-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons such as Inspiron, Inspiron EVO, and MagicTouch), Peripheral Vascular/Endovascular (self-expanding nitinol endoprostheses like Solaris and vascular embolization systems including Emboflow), Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (the Hanaro family of biliary metal stents and endoscopic accessories), and Endoscopic Surgery (the Nexus surgical stapling line and Altussonic ultrasonic energy system). The company operates an ISO 13485-certified 7,000 m² production facility in Aparecida de Goiânia, Brazil, and distributes its portfolio to healthcare providers in more than 45 countries.
Product overview
Scitech Medical is a minimally invasive medical device company founded over 20 years ago, present in more than 45 countries. The company operates four main product divisions: Interventional Cardiology (cardiologia intervencionista), Endovascular, Endoscopy (endoscopia), and Endoscopic Surgery (endocirurgia). The Interventional Cardiology portfolio centers on drug-eluting stents and balloons including the Inspiron and MagicTouch sirolimus-eluting systems with NanoLute technology. The Endovascular division offers self-expandable stents (Solaris, Solaris BX) and vascular embolization systems (Emboflow, Embosoft Plus, Emboblock). The Endoscopy division features the Hanaro biliary stent family with multiple configurations (BPN partially covered, SHCL/BCT fully covered with laces and flaps, and others) along with accessories like polypectomy snares and biopsy forceps. The Endocirurgia division provides surgical stapling systems (Nexus, linear cutting staplers, circular staplers) and ultrasonic energy systems (Altussonic). Supporting products include guide catheters, hydrophilic guide wires, introducers, sheaths, inflation devices, and snares across multiple sizes and specifications.
