What Establishment Labs does

Maker of Motiva breast implants using proprietary silicone technology, sold internationally outside the US mostly.

Manufactures in Costa Rica and sells implants to surgeons, directly in some countries and through distributors elsewhere, mostly as cosmetic procedures patients pay for themselves rather than insurers. Sales have been largely outside the US, so the US launch after FDA approval in 2024 is the biggest change.
