With headquarters in Danvers, Massachusetts, Abiomed (Nasdaq: ABMD) developed products that were designed to enable the heart to rest, heal and recover by improving blood flow and/or performing the pumping function of the heart. Its main family of products, Impella, was used in the cardiac catheterization lab by interventional cardiologists and in the heart surgery suite by heart surgeons for patients who were in need of hemodynamic support prophylactically or emergently before, during or after angioplasty or heart surgery procedures. The Company’s main products included Impella 2.5, Impella 5.0, Impella CP, Impella RP, and Symphony. The Company was founded in 1981, sold its products nationally and internationally, and had over 500 employees.
