The acquisition will enable Philips to enhance its image-guided therapy portfolio. Furthermore, Intact Vascular’s implantable device combined with the company’s interventional imaging platform and diagnostic and therapeutic devices is expected to enhance the treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
PhilipsImage Guided Therapy Devices senior vice president and general manager Chris Landon said: “Acquiring Intact Vascular will expand our portfolio of minimally invasive therapy options for peripheral artery disease with the tack endovascular system, a much-needed implant that effectively restores blood flow in small limb vessels, promotes healing and preserves limbs.
“Through the integration of our interventional imaging systems and diagnostic and therapeutic devices, we will be able to provide clinicians with a complete procedural solution to optimise the treatment of patients with this disease.”
The addition of Intact Vascular’s tack endovascular system is said to further enhance Philips’ peripheral vascular portfolio that consists of advanced interventional imaging systems, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters, peripheral atherectomy devices and peripheral therapy devices.
