Hennepin Partners acted as the exclusive financial advisor to MCT and Lathrop GPM served as legal counsel. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Based in Maplewood, MN, ModernCath provides complex catheter-based delivery systems for a range of endosurgical and interventional applications, with a primary focus on the neurovascular and electrophysiology markets.

ModernCath’s expertise in microcatheters strengthens VitalPath’s service to fast-moving customers in the neurovascular, coronary and peripheral market segments. These include nine of the top ten Tier I OEMs and dozens of innovative early-stage medical device companies. The acquisition will also expand VitalPath’s ability to scale, increasing its total footprint to more than 80,000 square feet of manufacturing space, including 35,000 square feet of ISO 7 and 8 cleanroom space.
“ModernCath is a strategic addition to expand and scale the VitalPath platform,” stated Aliya Khaydarova, Managing Principal of Inverness Graham. “Their strong expertise in microcatheters focused specifically on neurovascular and electrophysiology applications is highly complementary to VitalPath’s expertise in the broader structural heart and peripheral vascular markets.”
