About Merit Medical Systems INC

Merit Medical Systems, Inc. (ticker: MMSI) is a U.S.-based medical device company listed on the NASDAQ in the United States. Founded in 1987, Merit has built its business around proprietary single-use devices used in interventional, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures. The company is headquartered in South Jordan, Utah, and serves hospitals and physicians worldwide, making it a globally distributed healthcare technology supplier rather than a purely domestic U.S. player. ([merit.com](https://www.merit.com/?utm_source=openai)) From an equity analysis perspective, Merit is best viewed as a diversified niche medtech company with exposure across multiple procedure categories. The business is organized primarily into two operating segments: cardiovascular and endoscopy. Within cardiovascular, Merit offers a broad set of products for vascular access and intervention, including micropuncture kits, angiographic needles, introducer sheaths, guide wires, hemodynamic monitoring tools, and custom procedural solutions such as kits, trays, and packs. Its endoscopy segment supports gastrointestinal and related intervention workflows. Beyond those core areas, Merit’s products are used in cardiology, radiology, interventional oncology, critical care, nephrology, orthopedic spine, pulmonology, and other specialty settings.

This model can deepen hospital relationships and improve stickiness, especially in clinical categories where safety, workflow efficiency, and physician preference matter. The company also highlights ongoing innovation as a central part of its strategy, suggesting a pipeline-driven approach to maintaining relevance in a crowded medtech landscape.

In 2024-2025, Merit introduced and expanded several products, including SCOUT MD and newer offerings such as basixSky, MIGHTYwire, Siege, Bearing nsPVA Express, and 10FoRe. A notable strategic move came in September 2024, when Merit entered into an agreement to acquire Cook Medical’s lead management portfolio and related assets, broadening its therapeutic footprint. More recently, the company’s 2026 quarterly update pointed to organic constant-currency revenue growth, while also acknowledging tariff headwinds, indicating a business that is still expanding but operating in a more complex cost environment.
