INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS

Atrion`s approach to product development focuses on meeting market needs with innovative solutions:

For the cardiovascular market, Atrion introduced the MPS® Myocardial Protection System, providing the surgeon with total flexibility to continually change the mix, temperature, flow rate and precise quantities of medications delivered to the patient during open-heart surgery. The second generation of MPS®, introduced in 2005 as MPS2® provides several new functions including cyclic flow capability.
For the ophthalmic market, the company manufactures the LacriCATH® balloon catheter and the device to inflate it, providing the ophthalmic surgeon with a minimally invasive means of treating blockages in tear ducts.
In fluid delivery, Atrion`s proprietary line of needle-free valves eliminates the use of needles in many routine procedures, thus protecting medical personnel against exposure to infection through accidental needle-sticks.

The company`s focus on creative product design, low-cost manufacturing and exceptional customer service has created a portfolio of well-performing core products and a history of long-standing partnerships with its primary customer base.
