Boston Scientific is a known developer, producer, and seller of medical devices used in a wide range of medical specialties. Its major advocacy is to produce less-invasive devices. Boston Scientific continues to refine existing devices and procedures while new technologies are developed through constant investigation and research.
The company started in 1969 when its founder John Abele sought to pioneer a medical device company that would develop alternatives to traditional surgeries. He met an investor named Pete Nicholas and Boston Scientific was birthed.
Its first product was a steerable catheter. But it was just the beginning of an ongoing pursuit of less-invasive medical devices for Boston Scientific.
