SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Confluent Medical Technologies (Confluent), today announced a significant expansion of their Costa Rica manufacturing by adding a new facility to accommodate the increase in customer demand for specialized medical devices utilizing Nitinol components and complex catheters.

This new facility will be co-located with the existing Confluent Costa Rica facilities and is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2022. The new site will greatly expand Confluent’s capacity to process Nitinol components, as well as produce complex catheters using a combination of clean rooms and white-space manufacturing.

“Confluent has been experiencing consistent and strong growth in recent years,” says Confluent President & CEO, Dean Schauer. “This expansion will support our new product pipeline that is significantly stronger than anything Confluent has previously experienced.”

Confluent supports some of the fastest growing medical device markets such as interventional Neurovascular, Electrophysiology, Structural Heart and Peripheral Vascular. As a result of the double-digit growth of these currently served markets, a substantial number of new products are coming into production and will utilize this new facility space immediately. Additionally, Confluent is considering additional expansion options beyond this new facility.
