Terumo opens office in Switzerland

The Swiss branch office, located at Bahnhofstrasse 88 in Wettingen, is a subsidiary of Terumo Deutschland based in Eschborn, Germany. The new office will focus will on the promotion of the company’s large range of innovative technologies including vascular interventional systems, blood transfusion systems and perfusion systems for cardiac surgery.

The Swiss location will play a vital role in the launch of such key new products as Nobori, a new generation of drug-eluting stent used in patients suffering from coronary artery disease, and Misago, a peripheral self-expanding stent indicated for femoral and popliteal artery disease. Terumo anticipates benefits from close collaboration with key doctors and research institutions in Switzerland in the areas of product development and clinical trials.

Cosanum, a longtime Terumo partner, will continue to distribute Terumo hospital products such as the well-known Terumo brand needles and syringes in Switzerland.
