BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 24, 2025--

Amplitude Vascular Systems ( AVS ), a medical device company focused on safely and effectively treating severely calcified arterial disease, announced today the opening of its new global headquarters at 180 Third Avenue in Waltham, Mass. The new 37,811 square-foot space will serve as the company’s hub for innovation, operations and commercialization, supporting company growth and further development of its novel device for pulsatile intravascular lithotripsy (PIVL), the PULSE™ IVL System.

“Waltham/Greater Boston is one of the most vibrant hotbeds for innovation in the country and provides significant advantages in recruiting the best talent,” said Mark Toland, Chairman of the Board of AVS. “As we continue to build momentum toward regulatory approval in the U.S., the new space will support the company’s growth to bring the next generation intravascular lithotripsy therapy for both peripheral and coronary artery disease to market.”

"AVS is joining a thriving hub for cutting-edge life sciences companies in Waltham and we are proud to welcome them to the city," said Mayor McCarthy.

Closing $36 million in Series B financing in January 2025, which has supported the POWER PAD II Study for indication in peripheral arteries as well as development of a Coronary platform and other indication expansion opportunities.

“The new headquarters is a testament to our progress as we grow our team and prepare to bring our innovative solution to managing calcified arterial disease to the market,” said Sean Gilligan, Chief Operating Officer. “The dedicated R&D and Operations spaces have helped accelerate our team’s capabilities and our manufacturing strategy as we prepare for commercialization of our first platform in mid-2026.”
