Description: BSX Boston Scientific December 02, 2025
Boston Scientific (BSX) designs, manufactures and markets a broad portfolio of interventional medical devices across two main segments-MedSurg and Cardiovascular-serving specialties such as gastroenterology, urology, neuromodulation, cardiac rhythm management, and peripheral vascular care. The company’s product slate includes endoscopic clips, biliary stents, single-use duodenoscopes, ureteral stents, holmium laser systems, spinal cord stimulators, the WATCHMAN FLX left-atrial appendage closure device, and a range of implantable cardiac monitors and defibrillators.
Key recent metrics: BSX reported FY 2023 revenue of $12.3 billion, with the Cardiovascular segment contributing roughly 55 % of total sales and delivering a 22 % operating margin, while MedSurg grew at a 7 % CAGR over the past three years driven by demand for single-use devices. R&D spending remained steady at about 7 % of revenue, supporting a pipeline that includes next-generation leadless pacing and AI-enabled remote monitoring solutions. Macro-level drivers include an aging U.S. population, rising prevalence of chronic cardiovascular disease, and a sustained shift toward minimally invasive, outpatient procedures that favor disposable device formats.
