Medtronic to Build New Plant in Ireland for Manufacturing the IN.PACT Drug-Coated Balloon

This week, Medtronic announced that it was investing $14 million to build a new 20,000 sq. ft. plant in Galway, Ireland, specifically to manufacture the IN.PACT drug-coated balloon. This project is a direct outgrowth of Medtronic's merger with Ireland-based Covidien, a company which had its own DCB, the Stellarex, which was sold off to Spectranetics as part of the requirements for the merger.
