Inari Medical reports Q4 2023 financial results

Inari Medical, Inc. reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

“Our solid fourth quarter performance was driven by strong underlying procedural growth and crisp execution across our three growth pillars led by our core VTE business, with meaningful contributions from emerging therapies and international geographies,” said Drew Hykes, CEO of Inari Medical. “We also closed on the acquisition of LimFlow in mid-November. In terms of clinical evidence generation, the completion of enrollment in PEERLESS, our first RCT, represents an important step forward in our commitment to generating the highest level of clinical evidence. Taken together, these efforts will result in the establishment of our therapy as the standard of care for VTE. With a strong VTE foundation and encouraging commercial traction across emerging therapies and international, we remain confident in our ability to generate sustainable growth for many years to come. Most importantly, we remain fully committed to advancing our mission of addressing major unmet needs for patients.”
