Datascope manufactures equipment for cardiology, radiology, anesthesiology, cardiovascular surgery, emergency medicine, critical care

Datascope Corp. manufactures proprietary products for clinical health care markets in interventional cardiology and radiology, anesthesiology, cardiovascular and vascular surgery, emergency medicine and critical care.

Below is a summary of our four major product lines.

Cardiac Assist
We are the pioneer in intra-aortic balloon pump and catheter technology. The intra-aortic balloon system that we manufacture is used principally to treat cardiac shock, acute heart failure, irregular heart-rhythms, and in open-heart surgery, preoperative coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary angioplasty. We believe that our cardiac assist products are complemented by our VasoSeal wound closure lines of products.

Patient Monitoring
We manufacture and market a broad line of physiological monitors designed to provide for patient safety and management of patient care. Our monitors are capable of continuous and simultaneous measurement of many different vital signs. Our monitors are used in operating rooms, emergency rooms, critical care units, post-anesthesia care units and recovery rooms, intensive care units, labor and delivery rooms and magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI units.

Collagen Products
Our Collagen Products have revolutionized the technology that is used to seal arterial puncture wounds to stop bleeding after catheterization procedures. We manufacture and sell the VasoSeal® line of extravascular hemostasis devices, which was the first vascular sealing device to be approved in the United States. The VasoSeal devices provide for reduced time to hemostasis of the arterial puncture wound, reduced time to ambulation, cost savings and increased patient satisfaction. In addition, Collagen Products manufactures surgical hemostatic agents used to stop bleeding during surgery.

Vascular Products
Our InterVascular subsidiary markets and sells a proprietary line of knitted and woven polyester vascular grafts, patches and interventional products for reconstructive vascular and cardiovascular surgery. Vascular grafts are used to replace diseased arteries.

Datascope has a worldwide marketing organization that includes direct sales forces in the U.S. and Europe, supported by field service and clinical education specialists, and a network of independent distributors.
