History

Medical Components, Inc. was founded in 1978 to manufacture and market vascular access catheters for acute hemodialysis. At that time, catheter designs were simple, consisting of a single-lumen catheter for single-needle dialysis or double-lumen catheters for continuous dialysis. From this starting point, the company grew into a developer and manufacturer of a broad range of vascular access devices. Over the decades, Medcomp expanded its portfolio beyond acute hemodialysis to include long-term hemodialysis catheters, short-term catheters, pediatric devices, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC), midlines, central venous catheters (CVC), ports, peritoneal catheters, catheter lock solutions, drainage products, and accessories. The company states that it is currently one of the world's largest manufacturers of dialysis and centrally terminating venous catheters, and that it has always been on the cutting edge of new vascular access device technologies. Medcomp's engineering and applications expertise has been directed at progressive catheter designs that accommodate advances in medicine and anticipate the requirements of professional clients and the patients they serve. The company operates from Harleysville, Pennsylvania, and serves customers in the United States, Canada, Europe, and other global markets, maintaining catalogs tailored to regional regulatory requirements such as CE/UKCA for Europe. Medcomp maintains a visible presence at major clinical meetings, including the Association for Vascular Access (AVA), the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS), the European Renal Association (ERA), the World Health Expo (WHX), and the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE). Its stated vision is to be the leading solution provider for every customer it serves, and its mission is to drive sustainable growth through continued investment in people, technology, and quality while delivering world-class products and services.
