the former or present official capacity of the person, against judgments,
penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorney&#146;s
fees, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if certain
statutory standards are met. Any of these persons is also entitled, subject to
certain limitations, to payment or reimbursement of reasonable expenses in
advance of the final disposition of the proceeding. A proceeding means a
threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative, arbitration
or investigative proceeding, including one by or in the right of MTI. Reference
is made to Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL and the Company&#146;s amended and restated

consulting agreement with Dale A. Spencer, one of MTI&#146;s directors, provides
that he will be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, for
any liabilities, costs or expenses arising out of Mr.&nbsp;Spencer&#146;s
association with the Company, except to the extent that such liabilities, costs
or expenses arise under or are related to Mr.&nbsp;Spencer&#146;s gross negligence

that the Company may have, if, following a change in control (as defined in
such agreements), any of such individuals incurs damages, costs or expenses
(including, without limitation, judgments, fines and reasonable attorney&#146;s
fees) as a result of such individual&#146;s service to the Company or status as an
officer and employee of the Company, such individual will be indemnified by the

damages, costs or expenses arose as a result of such individual&#146;s gross negligence

public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</font></h3>

Incentive Stock Option, Nonqualified Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase
Plan (the "1993 Plan") and Micro Therapeutics, Inc.'s 1996 Stock Incentive
Plan, as amended (the "1996 Plan" and together with the 1993 Plan, the "Plans"),
as of January 6,
2006, divided by a conversion factor to reflect the number of shares of ev3
Inc. (the "Company") common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("ev3 Common Stock"),
for which such options are exercisable pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of November 14, 2005, among the Company, Micro
Investment, LLC and Micro Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Merger Agreement").  The maximum number of shares of ev3 Common
Stock that may be sold upon the exercise of such options granted under the

as amended (the "Securities Act"), to the extent additional shares of ev3
Common Stock may be issued or issuable as a result of a stock split or other
distribution declared at any time by the Board of Directors while this
Registration Statement is in effect, this Registration Statement is hereby
deemed to cover all such additional shares of ev3 Common Stock.

Estimated solely for the purpose of
computing the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(h) under
the Securities Act of 1933 on the basis of the weighted average exercise price
of the outstanding options under the 1993 Plan and the 1996 Plan as of January 6,
2006, multiplied by a conversion factor to reflect the price at which such
options could be exercised to purchase ev3 Common Stock pursuant to the Merger
Agreement.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
On November 14, 2005, ev3 Inc. (the
"Registrant" or the "Company"), Micro Investment, LLC ("MII"), and Micro
Therapeutics, Inc. ("MTI") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which MII merged with and into MTI (the "Merger").  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of MTI
common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.476289 of a share of
common stock of the Company (the "Exchange Ratio") and each outstanding option
to purchase shares of MTI common stock under Micro Therapeutics, Inc.'s
1993 Incentive Stock Option, Nonqualified Stock Option and Restricted Stock
Purchase Plan (the "1993 Plan") and Micro Therapeutics, Inc.'s 1996 Stock
Incentive Plan, as amended (the "1996 Plan") were converted into an option to
purchase shares of the Company's common stock on the same terms and conditions
(including vesting) as were applicable under such MTI option and the exercise
price and number of shares for which each such option is (or will become)
exercisable were adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio.

Item 4.  Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The following summary is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete copy of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws and
agreements referred to below.
Section 145 of the DGCL
provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 145
further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person
serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, against expenses
(including
II-2
attorneys' fees) actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except
that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery
or such other court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnify for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a
corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, to limit or eliminate,
subject to some statutory limitations, the liability of directors to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary
duty, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to
unlawful payment of dividends and unlawful stock purchase and redemption) or (4) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Company's amended and restated certificate of
incorporation provides that it will, and Delaware law permits the Company to,
under certain situations, indemnify any of its directors, officers, employees
or agents made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of
the former or present official capacity of the person, against judgments,
penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorney's
fees, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if certain
statutory standards are met. Any of these persons is also entitled, subject to
certain limitations, to payment or reimbursement of reasonable expenses in
advance of the final disposition of the proceeding. A proceeding means a
threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative, arbitration
or investigative proceeding, including one by or in the right of MTI. Reference
is made to Section 145 of the DGCL and the Company's amended and restated
certificate of incorporation.
The Company maintains an insurance policy providing
for indemnification of its officers, directors and certain other persons
against liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them in certain stated
proceedings and under certain stated conditions. In addition, the Company's
consulting agreement with Dale A. Spencer, one of MTI's directors, provides
that he will be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, for
any liabilities, costs or expenses arising out of Mr. Spencer's
association with the Company, except to the extent that such liabilities, costs
or expenses arise under or are related to Mr. Spencer's gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The Registrant's change in control agreements with each
of Michael E. Cameron, James M. Corbett, Stacy Enxing Seng,
Pascal E. R. Girin, Gerald B. Gollinger, L. Cecily Hines,
Tamima F. Itani, Gregory Morrison, Craig G. Palmer, Jeffrey J.
Peters, Peter Schaubach, Dale A. Spencer and Thomas C.
Wilder III provide that, in addition to any other indemnification obligations
that the Company may have, if, following a change in control (as defined in
such agreements), any of such individuals incurs damages, costs or expenses
(including, without limitation, judgments, fines and reasonable attorney's
fees) as a result of such individual's service to the Company or status as an
officer and employee of the Company, such individual will be indemnified by the
Company to the fullest extent permitted by law, except to the extent that such
damages, costs or expenses arose as a result of such individual's gross negligence
or willful misconduct.
The Company has entered into
agreements with its directors, executive officers and certain other employees
regarding indemnification. Under these agreements, the Company is required to
indemnify them against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and
other amounts actually and reasonably incurred, including expenses of a
derivative action, in connection with an actual or threatened proceeding if any
of them may be made a party because he or she is or was one of the Company's
directors, officers or employees.  The
Company will be obligated to pay these amounts only if the officer, director or
II-3
employee acted in good faith
and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
Company's best interests. With respect to any criminal proceeding, the Company
will be obligated to pay these amounts only if the officer, director or
employee had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The indemnification agreements also set forth procedures that will apply in the
event of a claim for indemnification.

Item 9.  Undertakings
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes as follows:
(1)
to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act,
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the
low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii)
to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
II-5
provided, however
,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2)
that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
II-6
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable
grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8
and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized, in the City of Plymouth, State of Minnesota,
on January 10,  2006.
