Point Technologies becomes Angiotech Manufacturing

The new group is comprised of Point Technologies and other former units of AMI Holdings: InterV OEM, Manan Medical Products, and American Medical Instruments

Point Technologies, a global contract manufacturing company headquartered in Colorado, announced that after having been acquired by AMI Holdings, which was subsequently acquired by Angiotech Pharmaceuticals (ANPI), has been named Angiotech Manufacturing.

The new group is comprised of Point Technologies and other former units of AMI Holdings: InterV OEM, Manan Medical Products, and American Medical Instruments.

Angiotech Manufacturing Group (AMG) has manufacturing locations in Boulder, Colorado, Wheeling, Illinois and Heredia, Costa Rica.

Plants in Gibbon, Minnesota and Dartmouth, Massachusetts are slated for relocation under a facilities rationalization plan this year.

The new AMG manufactures critical components, sub-components and finished medical devices for large and medium-sized medical device companies using its competencies of device assembly, plastic injection (and insert) molding, wire-EDM, Swiss machining, wire and tube grinding, laser welding, NiTi heat setting, precision wire and tube micro-machining, burr-free cutting, and electrochemical pointing and plating technologies.

AMG's expertise also includes final packaging, sterilization, and supply chain management.

Since AMG is a division of Angiotech Pharmaceuticals , the group will also be offering pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical coating capability.

Coatings will include Echo-Coat, a, echogenic polymer coating designed to make medical devices visible under ultrasound modalities.

Other coatings currently available are: Slip-Coat, a hydrophilic lubricious coating and Medi-Coat, a drug-delivery coating.

Many pharmaceutical coatings are in various stages of trial at present.
