Boston Scientific announced in a press release, the close of its acquisition of the global surgical business of Lumenis LTD., a privately-held company that develops and commercializes energy-based medical solutions, from an affiliate of Baring Private Equity Asia (BPEA). The Lumenis surgical business includes premier laser systems, fibers and accessories used for urology and otolaryngology procedures with total revenue anticipated to be approximately $200 million for full year 2021.
Boston Scientific announced a definitive agreement to acquire the global surgical business of Lumenis on March 3, 2021 for an upfront cash payment of $1.07 billion, subject to closing adjustments.
Boston Scientific has had a relationship with Lumenis for over 20 years and, prior to close, already offered the Lumenis urology laser portfolio in the U.S. and Japan through a distribution arrangement. With the completion of this acquisition, Boston Scientific will now sell these lasers and fibers – as well as the otolaryngology laser portfolio – to all geographies including high-growth regions like China. BPEA will retain ownership of the Lumenis global aesthetics and ophthalmology businesses.
