Balt initially focused on plastic micro-tubes for the pharmaceutical industry.[4] In 1987, it developed a microcatheter enabling the treatment of arteriovenous malformations. The Silk Vista Baby, one of the company’s most recent innovations released in 2018, is the world’s smallest collapsible intracranial stent.[5]

Balt's revenues tripled between 2015 and 2020 and its workforce, quadrupled to reach 500 employees worldwide in 2020.[6] Balt sells its production to 100 countries around the world. Between 2016 and 2019, the company acquired the American start-up Blockade Medical, which also produces medical devices, as well as several of its distributors in Europe, China, India and Brazil. Today, Balt operates in ten different geographical locations worldwide.Шаблон:Citation needed
