Boston Scientific has bought the gynecology and urology portfolio of US-based medical device company Distal Access for an undisclosed amount.

The products acquired include the Resectr Tissue Resection Device, which is a disposable non-powered, hand-held and hand-driven system solution featuring a combination of the benefits of basic manual devices and complex electromechanical systems.

It is used to remove uterine polyps which can cause abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility.

“The Resectr device is exactly the type of innovation we need to help make healthcare more cost-effective and accessible for physicians and their patients.”

Boston Scientific urology and pelvic health senior vice-president David Pierce said: “The Resectr device is exactly the type of innovation we need to help make healthcare more cost-effective and accessible for physicians and their patients.

“This acquisition is part of our commitment to advance comprehensive solutions for women’s health that can help physicians provide high-quality care.”
