PSICOR

PSICOR was a U.S. healthcare services company focused on supplying perfusionists, clinical technicians, equipment, and disposable supplies to hospitals performing open-heart surgery. Its core business was perfusion support, including operation of heart-lung machines used during cardiothoracic procedures, rather than discovery-stage drug development. The company appears to have operated as a commercial healthcare services and medical support business, not a biotech or pharma therapeutics developer. PSICOR was publicly traded before agreeing to be acquired by Baxter Healthcare in late 1995. Following that transaction, PSICOR ceased operating as an independent public company.
