ICS Medical Devices moved into its new facility in May 2022, doubling its capacity to serve a growing international base of customers.

We now plan to accelerate our growth momentum by significantly expanding our team, capacity, and capability. We look forward to serving new and existing customers and welcoming new team members to our world-class facility.”
ICS Medical Devices’ new facility was officially opened by Leo Clancy, CEO of Enterprise Ireland. Commenting on the announcement, he said: “ICS Medical Devices is an excellent Irish company delivering cutting-edge solutions that enable its customers to pioneer advancements in catheter technologies. At Enterprise Ireland we are proud to have supported the company’s growth momentum and global ambition since it was established only 3 years ago. Strengthening regional enterprise development is a central focus for Enterprise Ireland, and we warmly welcome the ambitious expansion plans announced which will create 100 high value new jobs in Galway.”
ICS Medical Devices works with innovative start-up medical device companies to develop niche and breakthrough catheter technologies for minimally invasive medicine. The company has built a global reputation as a responsive partner for the design, development, and commercialization of the catheters required to deliver a range of ground-breaking medical interventions such as structural heart, neurovascular and endovascular therapies.
ICS Medical Devices, described as “Ireland’s next scaling medtech to watch,” has already begun recruitment for new team members and plans to add positions in engineering, research & development, and manufacturing to its existing 70+ person team.
The newly announced footprint expansion, planned for 2023, will add additional manufacturing and cleanroom space to existing operations. As part of that continued expansion, a new customer innovation centre will open to provide specialist support for the development of minimally invasive catheters to make surgeries dramatically safer and more tolerable.
The company also plans to add new technologies to support its catheter capabilities, enabling customers to pioneer advancements in medicine.
