In 2005 Merit hired 17 new U.S. sales representatives to introduce
these products to the market and to prepare for the introduction
of more new products. As a value-added service to Merit’s customers
and to support our direct sales effort, some of these new reps
are field clinicians who will help customers learn how to use
our products.
Merit Medical’s mission is to innovate in cardiology and radiology,
and we have consistently launched new products in these areas
every year since the Company’s incorporation in 1987. Merit products
are now used by thousands of clinicians in virtually every country
in the world, and we control strong market shares in most segments
where we compete. A continual flow of new product improvements
and innovations has helped drive Merit’s success in the past and
will continue to play a significant role in the future.
