I have compiled a list of 25 biomedical companies. There are definitely more than this. My conclusions are simply subjective, and may not necessarily coincide with the way you would judge them.
And one more thing, I would like to know in the comments the biomedical companies that I have missed out in this list. I would also love to read experiences of the biomedical engineers who have worked or are working in the companies listed above.
