Cardiorobotics Inc., a medical device startup company, has leased 14,500 square feet at 475 Paramount Drive in Raynham.

The Rhode Island-based company chose to open an office in the Bay State to capitalize on the state’s cluster of technology firms and available intellectual capital, according to a statement.

Partner Sean Teague and Senior Associate Leeanne Rizzo of FHO Partners represented Cardiorobotics Inc. in the transaction. Mark Donahue of Donahue & Associates represented the landlord of 475 Paramount Drive.

"Although availability rates for office space increased dramatically in 2009, there remains significant interest in lab space from technology firms that successfully weathered the recession and are now looking to expand," said Teague. "We were excited to provide our real estate expertise to help Cardiorobotics Inc. relocate and grow in Massachusetts."

Cardiorobotics employs 13 people at its technology and research center in Pittsburgh and its business and product development facility in Newport, R.I.
