Job Description Our Clonmel site currently employs over 1,600 people across a range of functions directly and indirectly supporting our manufacturing operation.
We manufacture Drug-Eluting Stents, Metal Stents and Balloon Dilitation Catheters for Abbott's global markets. Our products are used in the treatment of Coronary Artery Disease. The disease is the result of plaque building up on the inner wall of the coronary artery. This reduces blood flow to the heart muscle and can result in angina and heart attacks.
Our devices are used to widen diseased portions of the coronary artery to increase blood flow. Patients benefit greatly from this treatment. Drug-Eluting Stents have a pharmaceutical coating that inhibits the growth of tissue inside the stent. This often results in even better outcomes for the patient.

We manufacture Drug-Eluting Stents, Metal Stents and Balloon Dilitation Catheters for Abbott's global markets. Our products are used in the treatment of Coronary Artery Disease. The disease is the result of plaque building up on the inner wall of the coronary artery. This reduces blood flow to the heart muscle and can result in angina and heart attacks.
Our devices are used to widen diseased portions of the coronary artery to increase blood flow. Patients benefit greatly from this treatment. Drug-Eluting Stents have a pharmaceutical coating that inhibits the growth of tissue inside the stent. This often results in even better outcomes for the patient.
