Boston Scientific wraps up $1bn acquisition of Lumenis surgical business

Boston Scientific has wrapped up the previously announced $1.07 billion acquisition of the global surgical business of Israeli medical solutions provider Lumenis.

The US medical device manufacturer had signed the deal in March 2021 with an affiliate of Baring Private Equity Asia (BPEA), which owns Lumenis. The BPEA affiliate will retain ownership of Lumenis’ global aesthetics and ophthalmology businesses.

The surgical business acquired by Boston Scientific includes premier laser systems, fibers and accessories. These are used for urology and otolaryngology procedures.

The business is expected to post total revenue of around $200 million for the full year 2021.
