Scanlan International is a private U.S. medical device company focused on the design, development, and manufacture of precision surgical instrumentation and related single-use products. Founded in 1921 and headquartered in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the company serves the medical community across multiple surgical specialties, with particular strength in cardiovascular, thoracic, vascular, neurosurgical, transplant, microsurgical, and minimally invasive surgery. Its portfolio includes clamps, forceps, needle holders, scissors, specialty instruments, sterilization trays, and branded product lines such as Scanturian minimally invasive instruments and ScanShield technologies.
