By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 02 Jun 2006
Hologic, a leading provider of diagnostic and digital imaging systems announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Suros Surgical Systems for U.S.$240 million. More...
The transaction will be structured as a merger, whereby Suros Surgical will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Hologic.


Hologic (Bedford, MA, USA) develops, manufactures, and supplies diagnostic and medical imaging systems dedicated to serving the healthcare needs of women, including innovative imaging technology for digital radiography and breast imaging. Hologic's core business units are focused on osteoporosis assessment, mammography, breast biopsy, and MRI imaging for orthopedic applications.

Suros Surgical Systems (Indianapolis, IN, USA) is a privately held manufacturer of minimally invasive surgical technologies focused on breast biopsy and tissue removal. The automated tissue excision and collection (ATEC) line of products include percutaneous, automatic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy systems, ancillary breast biopsy devices, and biopsy site markers.

The agreement to acquire Suros Surgical supports our strategy of maintaining our leadership position in women's healthcare initiatives, said Jack Cumming, Hologic's chairman and chief executive officer. "Biopsy is the most widely accepted method for determining the presence or absence of cancer following detection of a breast abnormality.”
