Stereotaxis is acquiring Minneapolis-based electrophysiology catheter maker Access Point Technologies (APT) to enhance its minimally invasive surgical robotics. Stereotaxis pays upfront and makes contingent payments for the deal. CEO David Fischel noted that the acquisition boosts their catheter development capabilities and aids in treating complex arrhythmias. APT is expected to add about $5 million in annual revenue, with the acquisition closing in the third quarter pending customary conditions. Stereotaxis, which makes magnetic surgical robots like the Genesis RMN and Niobe systems, recently tried to get the Magnetic Interventional Ablation Catheter (MAGiC) approved by both European and U.S governments. The company reported a 5% revenue increase to $6.9 million in Q1 2024 and ended the quarter with $18.2 million in cash and no debt. Shares rose over 3% in after-hours trading, reflecting confidence in their strategic growth and financial health. How do acquisitions impact innovation in minimally invasive surgery?

"So, while I agree...on the importance of function over form in medical device design, I think today's #medicaldevices need to be designed with the intended use environment in mind. If you're developing a surgical device, function will matter much more than form. At-home medical devices, on the other hand, must take the aesthetics into consideration upfront." h/t MD+DI #innovation #medtech #medicaldevicedesign

Reach out to me for the full resolution poster on #diffraction #gratings for #euv #lithography! How can blazed diffraction gratings improve EUV systems? Blazed reflection gratings are high-throughput spectral filters at EUV wavelengths. Inprentus #blazed gratings with their serial write process can combine dispersion and imaging into a single optic giving EUV equipment a much needed boost in efficiency, resolution and compactness.

Technology Hardware | Steady Eddie - Steven Liu Terumo is a global leader in access devices, with a 50% market share. Its product sales benefit from the expansion of the Transradial intervention approach, which decreases bleeding and mortality, and improves hospital profits. Access devices are 55% of Terumo Intervention Systems’s (TIS) sales, which grew by more than 20% in FY3/22 and FY3/23 but supply issues saw them drop to +14% YoY in FY3/24. These were resolved in 4QFY3/24, so we expect growth to return to previous levels. Neurovascular and vascular graft sales have been expanding at growth rates above 30% which we expect to continue, given the increased cases of strokes, increased indications, and unique technology. Nevertheless, Terumo only sees 4.7% sales growth for its cardiac and vascular businesses in FY3/25, which we find to be too conservative.
