Kimal is an innovative manufacturer of customised procedure packs and vascular access devices to clinical departments in over 70 countries worldwide. The Company manufactures over 2 million procedure packs and vascular access devices every year for a range of specialities including: cardiology, radiology, pacing, laparoscopy, and cardiac surgery; and our unique, ground-breaking central venous catheter technology is helping to reduce patient risk in hospitals across the world. It all started in 1964 when Kimal began distributing innovative products for well-known medical companies. In fact, the Company was responsible for launching some of the 'healthcare firsts' in the UK, including: one of the first heart pacemakers; the Judkins catheter, which is still used in coronary angiography procedures today; the world's first hollow fibre dialyser, launching haemodialysis as we know it; the first US coronary angioplasty balloon technology, which is still used in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures today; and the first coronary stent, which is still used in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) today. In 1990, Kimal switched its focus from being a trusted distribution partner for large international companies to that of a trusted manufacturer and since launching the first cardiology procedure pack in the UK in the early nineties, the company has grown significantly. Today Kimal has direct sales offices in the UK, France, and the UAE, as well as manufacturing facilities in the UK and Egypt.
