Heraeus Medical Components said today it will acquire Via Biomedical, an outsourcing partner for medical device OEM companies. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Maple Grove, Minn.-based Via Biomedical does contract development, prototyping, processing and manufacturing of interventional devices.
Heraeus said the acquisition will help it to expand within the growing interventional device markets. The acquisition is the Minneapolis-based medtech company’s third technology acquisition in the last 24 months. Heraeus Medical Components acquired Evergreen Medical and PhysioTest last year and bought conductive polymer materials maker Biotectix in 2017.
Founded in 2001, Via Biomedical has core development competencies in catheters, balloons, stent delivery systems, molded medical device products and assemblies regularly used in interventional cardiology, neurovascular, and peripheral vascular markets.
