NuMED Canada Inc., founded in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada in 1990, was originally formed to sell and market medical angioplasty devices purchased from the parent company, to cater to the needs of the worldwide market and with the intent of establishing a manufacturing department. In September 2000, NuMED Canada Inc. moved their operations to a new facility. The new building consists of a modern manufacturing department which caters to the needs of the medical community of over 50 countries world wide with export being 90% of the total product throughput.
All NuMED facilities contain environmentally controlled rooms that are monitored on a regular basis. Along with our line of catheters, NuMED is also equipped to do Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) contract work for other companies in the industry. Many companies utilize NuMED expertise in the development of OEM products from concept to production.
