Navilyst Medical, formerly Boston Scientific’s Fluid Management and Vascular Access businesses, today announced its new company name following the February 2008 acquisition by Avista Capital Partners, a private equity firm focused on growth-oriented healthcare, energy and media companies.

Navilyst Medical’s vascular access products include the PASV(R) Technology, designed to automatically close after infusion, disconnection or aspiration, reducing the risk of complications including catheter-related bloodstream infections.

“Navilyst Medical combines the best attributes of an established medical device company–market-leading technology, superior clinical data, experienced leadership and proven worldwide sales and distribution capabilities. We maintain the singular focus of a small, eager organization striving to improve patient care while collaborating with clinicians in the global marketplace,” said President Dave McClellan.
