Initially dedicated to the research and development of products used in interventional radiology, AngioDynamics began shipping product in the early 1990s. The Company soon became well established as a producer of diagnostic catheters for non-coronary angiography and thrombolytic delivery systems. In May 2004 the Company became publicly traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the symbol ANGO.
Through acquisitions of companies such as RITA Medical Systems in January 2007, Oncobionic in May 2008, and the assets of Diomed in June 2008 and FlowMedica in January 2009, AngioDynamics now boasts a diverse product line that includes market-leading radiofrequency ablation and NanoKnife® systems, vascular access products, angiographic products and accessories, dialysis products, angioplasty products, drainage products, thrombolytic products, embolization products, venous products and targeted renal therapy products.
Continuing its expansion, AngioDynamics opened a new headquarters in Albany, N.Y., in March 2010. Most recently, in May 2012, AngioDynamics acquired Navilyst Medical, bringing market-leading fluid management systems into its portfolio. The acquisition significantly expanded the Company’s scale, doubling its share of the vascular access market while building critical mass in the peripheral vascular market.
