Heraeus Medical Components Acquires Laser Processing Company Pulse Systems
ST. PAUL, MN—Global medical device outsourcing provider Heraeus Medical Components has acquired Pulse Systems, which provides high-precision laser processing and manufacturing of Nitinol and other metal-based implants and delivery systems.
A key reason for the acquisition is the increasing importance of vascular access and delivery systems to enable new therapies, explains Peter Reimer, president of Heraeus Medical Components. Pulse Systems’ center of proximity is located in a key medical technology innovation and incubation hub in the Bay Area, which will also strengthen Heraeus’ global R&D footprint, he adds.
