FRISCO, Texas, Feb. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Argon Medical Devices, Inc., a leading manufacturer of medical devices for interventional procedures, announces its 50^th anniversary. This impressive milestone speaks to the dedication of the company's employees who take pride in the impact their contributions make on patients around the globe. Headquartered in Frisco, Texas, Argon offers a broad line of best-in-class products for Interventional Radiology, Interventional Oncology and Vascular Surgery procedures.

Argon was founded in 1972 producing procedural guidewires, gradually expanding to introduce disposable packs, special procedure kits and trays for Cardiology and Critical Care procedures.

In 2009, Argon's strategic direction shifted to focus on products for Interventional Radiology. This led to further expansion of the product portfolio through acquisitions of companies and products in the interventional vascular, interventional oncology areas, including clot management, biopsy and drainage segments. More recently, the company bolstered its research and development capabilities, leading to introduction of organically developed products including the Scorpion^® Portal Vein Access Series, Halo^™ single-loop snares, BioPince^® Ultra Full Core Biopsy Instrument, and Single- and Triple-Loop vena cava filter retrieval kits.

"As we begin 2022, there is a feeling of excitement that Argon is celebrating its 50^th anniversary," said President and CEO, George Leondis.

I look forward to making our 50^th year the best year, ever."
