VistaMed

What VistaMed does

VistaMed is an Ireland-headquartered medical device contract manufacturer based in Carrick-on-Shannon, founded in 1999 and operating with a 501-1000 employee base. The company provides extrusions, finished catheters, and devices, alongside design, development, and technical file compilation services that span the full product lifecycle for medical device OEMs. Its offering spans tightly toleranced thermoplastic and silicone extrusions, balloon catheter development, hypotubes and metal sub-components, and implantable silicone and PEEK components, all geared to minimally invasive surgical, cardiovascular, electrophysiology, neurovascular, peripheral vascular, and structural heart applications.

Operating within a broader vertically integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) model, VistaMed is positioned as a single-source manufacturing partner for OEMs. The technical platform combines custom extrusion, custom molding, metals processing, hydrophilic and drug coatings (including the proprietary LUBRITEQ coating), sub-assembly, and finished-device assembly. The platform's manufacturing footprint extends across the Americas, Asia, and Europe, with nearshore and offshore capacity supporting tech transfers, volume ramp-up, and supply continuity through ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820, and EU MDR-compliant facilities.

VistaMed generates revenue through contract manufacturing and development service fees paid by medical device OEMs and pharmaceutical customers, with reference relationships including Signifier Medical Technologies (eXciteOSA tongue training device) and Bambi Medical (Bambi Belt neonatal monitoring). Pricing is project-quoted rather than standardized, and commercial motion is direct enterprise sales to OEMs. Documented scale metrics for the broader platform — 12 manufacturing sites, 250+ engineers, 10 million+ components produced annually to 70+ OEMs — indicate mid-to-large CDMO scale, though these figures are not isolated to VistaMed's standalone legal entity in the supplied data.
