FIAB

What FIAB does

FIAB S.p.A. is an Italian medical device manufacturer founded in 1981 (per firmographic records; 1985 per corporate history) and headquartered in Vicchio, near Florence. The company produces and commercializes medical devices and accessories across four production facilities with two clean rooms, serving public and private hospitals in cardiology, surgery, respiratory therapy, cardiac stimulation, and electrophysiology. Its commercial structure covers the entire Italian national territory and exports to over 100 countries, providing continuous customer assistance across its international footprint.

The company's product portfolio is organized into eight integrated lines: Cardiac Rhythm Management (external pacemakers including the STIMOLATORE ESTERNO BICAMERALE 1797, Myopace epicardial leads with the Myoconnector, temporary pacing leads, diagnostic catheters, cables, adapters, introducers, and transesophageal stimulation equipment); ECG (disposable and reusable electrodes, patient cables, adapters, and conductive gels); Defibrillation (adult and pediatric pads in radiopaque and radiotransparent variants plus training pads); Esophageal Monitoring; Electrosurgery (disposable and reusable pencils, electrodes, neutral electrodes, electrocautery devices, and nerve locators); Oxygen Therapy (high/medium-concentration, Venturi, aerosol and tracheotomy masks, nasal cannulas, and humidifiers); Electrotherapy (pre-gelled, reusable, and neurology electrodes, sponges, fastening belts, adapters, EMS probes, and gels); and Mechanical Lead Extraction (EXTRA SAFE telescope dilator sheaths and MY GOOD BLOCK clamping collets). The portfolio targets both adult and pediatric applications.

FIAB's business model is B2B medical device manufacturing and distribution to hospital customers, with pricing not publicly disclosed and no direct-to-consumer or software-revenue layer apparent in the source data. The company is organized as an Italian Società per Azioni (S.p.A.), is privately held with no parent company or institutional investor disclosed, employs 101–250 people, and shows no API, AI, or digital platform presence in the available material — its competitive position rests on manufacturing scale, regulatory compliance via clean room production, integrated accessory ecosystems that create switching costs, and a multi-decade distribution network.
