I think they do, bc I think I talked one day with one of our competitors (at that time, it was "CPI", and I think Bost Sci bought them, right?). Anyway, I think they also donate short-dates.
Btw, we also donated the "leads" as well, if applicable. The lead (ie, heart-wire, heart-lead, electrode etc) is what connects the heart itself to the pacemaker...and leads aren't cheap either. So if you know a rep at BostSci - tell them they can donate leads. Also, I'm sure vet schools need stents as well. I think I used to donate my Introducers as well (the piece of equipment that you use to "introduce"/advance the lead into the vein itself.
