Medtronic, Inc. to Create 200 Jobs on Montreal's West Island in $15 Million Expansion

Quebec is investing $15 million in the medical technology firm Medtronic to help create 200 new medical technology jobs on Montreal's West Island.

Medtronic calls the new device "the arctic front." It uses cold temperatures to help catheters stick better to blocked heart tissue.
