Boston Scientific's history began in the late 1960s when the Company's co-founder, John Abele, acquired an equity interest in Medi-tech, Inc., a development company. Medi-tech's initial products, a family of steerable catheters, were introduced in 1969. They were used in some of the first less-invasive procedures performed, and versions of these catheters are still being sold today. In 1979, John Abele joined Pete Nicholas to form Boston Scientific Corporation for the purpose of acquiring Medi-tech, Inc. The acquisition began a period of active, focused marketing, new product development, and organizational growth. |
