New 40,000 sqft facility offers additional advanced manufacturing capabilities as providers seek to improve medical outcomes using Access Vascular’s catheters
Billerica, MA – March 28, 2022- Access Vascular, Inc. (AVI), a company addressing the most common and costly vascular access complications, today announced the opening of its new, 40,000 square-foot facility in Billerica, MA. The new, enhanced facility is equipped with an expanded manufacturing line, increased lab space and a larger clean room. It will support the accelerated commercialization of AVI’s technology, while also providing necessary space for ongoing research and development projects involving its patented biomaterials.
Already in use by a number of acute care hospitals and mobile vascular providers in the United States today, AVI’s groundbreaking new biomaterial-based catheters dramatically reduce the common and expensive complications that affect approximately 30% of all hospital patients with traditional polyurethane catheters inserted. This transformational technology was most recently recognized as a Big Innovation Award Winner for its potential to reshape the field of vascular access.
“It has been an incredible journey from our first small rented lab space to this state-of-the-art facility and our next phase of commercialization,” said James Biggins, CEO at Access Vascular, Inc. “The healthcare and medtech sectors are poised for rapid, meaningful growth in the years ahead and our technology will be at the forefront helping to shape a new reality defined by better medical and economic outcomes for both patients and providers.”
