Research and Markets ( www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2a2b03/boston_scientific : 
) has announced the addition of the " Boston Scientific Medical Device Company Intelligence Report : " company profile to their offering.
Boston Scientific develops and manufactures medical devices that are used in a range of interventional medical specialties, including interventional cardiology, cardiac rhythm management (CRM), peripheral interventions, electrophysiology, neurovascular intervention, endoscopy, urology, gynaecology and neuromodulation.
The company's history began in the late-1960s when its co-founder, John Abele, acquired an equity interest in Medi-tech Inc, a research and development company focused on developing alternatives to surgery.
Medi-tech introduced its initial products in 1969 - a range of steerable catheters used in some of the first less-invasive procedures performed.
In 1979, John Abele joined
with Pete Nicholas to form Boston Scientific, which indirectly acquired Medi-tech. This acquisition began a period of new product development and organisational growth. Since then, the company's net sales have increased substantially, growing from US$2 million in 1979 to approximately US$8.1 billion in 2008.
