Boston Sci acquires two devices to treat CTOs
Boston Scientific has acquired a re-entry catheter and intraluminal chronic total occlusion (CTO) crossing device from S.I. Therapies and ReVascular Therapeutics that will help treat complex peripheral lesions.

The Natick, Mass.-based company said it acquired the re-entry catheter from Israel-based S.I. Therapies back in November 2010 and that the deal with Sunnyvale, Calif.-based ReVascular Therapeutics is expected to close this month. Additionally, Boston Scientific said that the products are expected to be launched globally in approved markets later this year.
