A COMPANY UNLIKE ANY OTHER
Terumo Aortic was born when Bolton Medical and Vascutek — two pioneers in the aortic repair space — were integrated under global healthcare company, Terumo Corporation.
For nearly 100 years, Terumo Corporation has contributed to society through healthcare — first in Japan and then worldwide. Vascutek products have been trusted in over 2 million implants in more than 90 countries since 1982, while Bolton Medical has been focused on providing endovascular solutions for aortic disease for more than 15 years.
Together, we are 100% focused on the aorta, from the arch to the iliacs. Our broad portfolio of endovascular, surgical and hybrid solutions is designed to offer options — from off-the-shelf to custom-made — as individualised as your patient’s anatomy.*
*Hybrid and surgical portfolio does not currently include custom configurations.
