February 15, 2024- Terumo Medical Corporation (TMC) broke ground recently on a new manufacturing facility at its Caguas, Puerto Rico site. This expansion is another investment by Terumo as global demand for the company’s Angio-Seal® Vascular Closure Device (VCD), manufactured in Puerto Rico, continues to increase. Angio-Seal is one of the leading vascular closure devices on the global market, used on millions of patients globally. It provides active closure for rapid and reliable hemostasis in patients who have undergone angiographic or interventional procedures. It also has been proven to accelerate patient mobility and enable same-day discharge, which means patients have the potential to be home for recovery soon after their procedures.
The new, 64,000-square-foot expansion will be built adjacent to the existing site and is scheduled to be completed by summer 2025. The existing, 22,000-square-foot building will also be renovated to support related production administration requirements.
