MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX), a global leader in women’s health, has completed its previously announced acquisition of Gynesonics, Inc. (Gynesonics®), a privately held medical device company focused on the development of minimally invasive solutions for women’s health, for approximately $350 million.
“We are excited to complete the acquisition of Gynesonics and to increase access to their Sonata® System, which complements and expands our range of minimally invasive solutions for heavy periods and fibroids,” said Brandon Schnittker, President of Surgical Solutions at Hologic. “As global champions for women’s health, we are dedicated to empowering surgeons with diverse, cutting-edge treatment options as we strive to transform women’s lives for the better.”
