Ra Medical Systems Inc. launched a simple device that holds sutures more securely in place for closure of percutaneous wound sites during cardiac electrophysiology, structural heart and vascular surgical procedures.
Haemonetics Corp. said Wednesday that it will acquire Cardiva Medical Inc., a privately held manufacturer of blood closure systems, for up to $510 million. The all-cash deal expands Haemonetics’ hospital portfolio with two catheter-based devices used to shut off access sites following minimally invasive cardiology and electrophysiology (EP) procedures.
