Boston Scientific has today launched its new RoadRunner endoscopy design facility in Galway where it employs 3,000 people.
The company has committed to invest €17m in endoscopy research, a procedure in which a doctor uses specialized instruments to view and operate on the internal organs of the body without making a large incision.
The site in Galway develops devices across several therapeutic areas aside from endoscopy, including heart disease and produces over three million devices per year.
