Edwards Lifesciences is an American medical device company that became independent from Baxter in 2000 but traces its work to the first commercially available artificial heart valve, developed by Miles Lowell Edwards in the late 1950s. It concentrates entirely on structural heart disease and critical care monitoring, and its transcatheter aortic valve replacement business changed cardiac practice by allowing valves to be delivered through a catheter rather than through open chest surgery. Headquartered in Irvine, California and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, it holds a leading position in a market it largely created.

Which employers count as medtech companies?

Their sales, finance and office roles are left out: these pages list the engineering, science, service, data and IT roles.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
