Broad incumbents

• Medtronic: Medtronic is a broad incumbent in cardiac surgery and structural heart, with cannulae, perfusion, and cardioplegia-adjacent products that overlap Surge's portfolio as part of a much larger cardiac and vascular device franchise.
• Getinge (Maquet): Getinge's Maquet brand is a broad incumbent in cardiac surgery, OR equipment, and cardiopulmonary bypass — directly overlapping Surge's cannulae and perfusion set categories while also offering a much wider surgical suite portfolio.
• Edwards Lifesciences: Edwards Lifesciences is a major cardiac surgery and structural heart incumbent with overlapping presence in operating-room devices used during cardiac procedures, though its center of gravity is heart valves rather than cannulae.
• Merit Medical Systems: Merit Medical manufactures a broad portfolio of cardiac and vascular access devices with overlap to Surge's cannulae and accessory categories, selling into the same hospital departments through a wider product catalog.

Regional players

• Vygon: Vygon is a vascular access and surgical device manufacturer with peripheral overlap to Surge's cannulae and tubing-organizer categories, primarily competing in European and select international markets rather than Surge's core US distribution.
