This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Utah Medical Products, Inc. manufactures medical devices, including blood filters and catheters, that are explicitly designed and marketed for use in animal testing procedures. The company’s Hemo Nate® blood filter is cited in published research as a standard tool for administering blood transfusions in nonhuman primate radiation studies. Similarly, its 3.5-French catheters are specified for purchase in protocols involving animal models of disease. These products are integral components of invasive experimental methodologies, indicating the company’s business model includes supplying the medical device infrastructure for animal research.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
This information is provided for educational and transparency purposes only and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Data is drawn from independent watchdogs, NGOs, government registries, and Ethical Capital's ongoing research — see Research Sources for the full list.
