Since its founding in 2007, BioMentor's clients include both large publicly- held companies (such as Stryker Corp., the Sorin Group SpA), emerging to mature firms (NxStage Medical, OmniGuide Inc., Penumbra Inc., NinePoint Medical, Avantis Medical, Thoratec Inc.) and fast-paced start-ups that have recently been acquired: BARRX Medical (now Covidien GI Solutions), Navilyst Medical (now part of AngioDynamics), and Advanced Bionics (now part of Sonovo). BioMentor also counsels leading distributors in Italy, the Former Yugoslavia, and Saudi Arabia on strategies and tactics for gaining new representations. References available.
