The American multinational acquired Devoro Medical, the creators of the WOLF Thrombectomy platform, which is a non-console and lytic-free solution for treating blood clots. Lumenis’ surgical business has been another notable addition to Boston Scientific’s asset portfolio, with the company hoping to gain a competitive edge in medical laser and invasive treatment solutions. Boston Scientific also acquired the Baylis Medical Company and its cardiology business.
