Boston Scientific has been working together with Lumenis for more than 20 years, and currently, markets the latter’s urology laser portfolio in the US and Japan.
Following the completion of the deal, Boston scientific will add Lumenis’ employees and its surgical laser centre of excellence to the company. It is anticipated in the second half of this year.
Boston scientific will also sell the urology lasers and fibres and otolaryngology laser portfolio globally, including in China.
In January, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Boston Scientific’s fourth-generation Vercise Genus Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) System for conditional use in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment.
