A medical device facility called Terumo BCT is located in Denver suburb of Lakewood, Colorado, and {{asof|2018|lc=y}}, has been open and operating for over 20 years.{{cite news |url=https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/politics/state-health-to-sample-air-near-lakewood-plant-after-epa-identifies-potential-elevated-cancer-risk |title=Colorado to sample air near Lakewood plant after EPA identifies potential elevated cancer risk.

However, Terumo said they release only {{cvt|2500|lb|kg|disp=flip}} per year and are working to reduce that amount.

In July 1999 Terumo acquired the cardiovascular division of 3M Company, and established Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corp. in the USA.{{cite web|title=Terumo - About Us|url=http://www.terumomedical.com/aboutus/|access-date=1 August 2016|archive-date=29 July 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160729214250/http://www.terumomedical.com/aboutus/|url-status=dead}}

In 1999, Terumo entered into a joint venture with the Kerala company Penpol.{{cite web |title=About Terumo Penpol |url=https://www.terumopenpol.com/about-us/ |website=terumopenpol.com |publisher=terumopenpol |access-date=8 June 2023}}

In March 2011, the company bought U.S. medical device company CaridianBCT for around $2.6 billion. It was the largest acquisition by a Japanese medical equipment maker at the time.{{cite web |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-terumo-caridianbct-idUSTRE72613P20110307 |title=Terumo to buy U.S. medical device firm for $2.6 billion |publisher=Reuters |author=Mariko Katsumura |date=March 7, 2011 |access-date=March 17, 2014 |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924151613/http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/07/us-terumo-caridianbct-idUSTRE72613P20110307 |url-status=live }}
