ICS Medical Devices, a Galway-based catheter manufacturer, plans to create 72 new positions by 2028.
This follows the approval of €1.5m in Enterprise Ireland funding.
“This growth reflects the hard work of our team, the continued investment in new technologies, and the increasing demand for our services”
The expansion will span multiple departments including engineering, human resources, manufacturing, and quality control at the company, which has experienced rapid growth since its founding in 2019.
Scaling in the West
The funding package, delivered through various Enterprise Ireland supports, will directly finance investment in facilities, capabilities, personnel, and new technologies as the medtech company scales its operations.

Jenny Melia, executive director and incoming CEO of Enterprise Ireland, highlighted ICS Medical’s position “at the forefront of innovation in the medtech sector, developing best in class catheter solutions to meet the needs of the global healthcare sector.”
She emphasised Enterprise Ireland’s commitment to supporting the company’s international expansion. “Supporting Irish companies with the ambition to scale globally is a key priority for Enterprise Ireland and we will continue to work closely with ICS Medical to optimise their full international growth potential.”
Melia also noted ICS Medical’s broader impact on Ireland’s medtech ecosystem, describing how the company’s rapid evolution “from a high potential start-up to an established highly regarded company” provides valuable expertise and services that help support other Irish start-ups in achieving key milestones.
CEO Seamus Fahey expressed gratitude for the continued support: “We are delighted to announce this continued expansion of ICS Medical Devices and the creation of 72 new jobs.
