Radius Medical

What Radius Medical does

Radius Medical, LLC is a privately held medical device company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Stow, Massachusetts, that designs and develops minimally invasive instruments for cardiovascular intervention. Its proprietary portfolio centers on catheter-based support and stabilization devices, including the CrossLock Stabilizing Catheter family (with a low-profile CrossLock LP variant for Critical Limb Ischemia and Below the Knee procedures), the Prodigy Support Catheter with an elastomeric anchoring balloon for crossing chronic total occlusions, and the PeRFormer Hot Tip Injectible Wire, which delivers controlled RF energy through the guidewire tip to create intratissue cavities for drug delivery and targeted tissue treatment. The company also developed the Expro Elite family of snares and the Cougar nitinol workhorse guidewires, both of which are now sold globally through distribution partnerships with Teleflex and Medtronic respectively.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining direct sales of its current proprietary devices, licensing and distribution economics from its legacy products embedded inside Teleflex and Medtronic catalogs, and a paid consulting practice that sells regulatory affairs, design engineering, quality systems, business development, IT integration, and product lifecycle expertise to other medical device companies. The company employs 11–50 people, maintains an active website as its primary commercial channel, and has no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or public-market presence. Its two largest commercial relationships — Teleflex and Medtronic — give its legacy products global reach that a firm of this size could not achieve independently, while current-generation products are commercialized through direct engagement and inbound website inquiries targeting interventional cardiologists and peripheral vascular specialists.
