Profile: Argon Medical Devices Inc. manufactures and supplies single-use vascular access devices. Our products are divided into cardiology, radiology and critical care product lines. Our products include arterial needles, dilators, obturators and endomyocardial biopsy forceps. We market disposable devices to cardiac cath-labs, radiology labs and critical care units. Our endomyocardial biopsy forceps provide accuracy, reliability and flexibility. The alloy cutting jaws are precision machined to provide a cleanly cut specimen every time. The proven handle tension spring design insures consistent jaw closure during withdrawal. Pre-curved, maxi-curve or straight EMB forcep configurations provide maximum flexibility of choice for precise jaw positioning. Three-ringed handle easily adapts to any thumb position enabling a clinician's hand to angle like with an ergonomically designed pair of scissors that cause less fatigue and offer more control. This single-use, disposable unit eliminates the risk of cross contamination.
