LeMaitre Vascular

LeMaitre Vascular is a Burlington medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets devices for treating peripheral vascular disease. Its products are designed for vascular surgeons, and the company has worked closely with them since its founding to create and continually refine devices that give surgeons and their patients the best possible outcomes. One featured product is the LeMaitre Valvulotome, a device used in in situ bypass procedures.

Founded in 1983, the company now sells its devices in more than 90 countries and supports surgeons through a sales force of more than 160 representatives worldwide. A Denver vascular surgeon who has used the valvulotome for close to 20 years credits its improvements with letting him work in smaller and smaller veins, and the company estimates its devices have helped save more than 180,000 legs over the past decade. LeMaitre reports quarterly financial results to investors.
