Boston Scientific has announced the close of its acquisition of Apollo Endosurgery, a medical technology company primarily focused on the design, development and commercialisation of less invasive medical devices to advance gastrointestinal therapeutic endoscopy and endobariatrics.
“The close of this acquisition is an exciting step forward in our ability to provide our customers and their patients with a more comprehensive suite of endoluminal surgery (ELS) and endobariatric solutions,” said Mike Jones, senior vice president and president, Endoscopy, Boston Scientific. “We look forward to welcoming new talent to our Endoscopy team that will help advance innovation for physicians to improve patient care.”
The addition of Apollo Endosurgery devices will expand upon the current Boston Scientific ELS portfolio and capabilities, particularly in the areas of closure and suturing, while enabling a measured entry into the endobariatric market.
