Symetis, a medical technology company specialising in the development, manufacturing and marketing of percutaneous heart valve replacement solutions for the treatment of severe cardiac valve conditions, has purchased Middle Peak Medical, a private US and German medical device company focused on developing minimally invasive novel solutions for unmet needs in the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation. The acquisition marks Symetis’ first expansion from the TAVI space into the broader structural heart segment.

Jacques R Essinger, chief executive officer of Symetis, comments, “We also intend to continue our expansion outside Europe, including in Asia with a focus on Japan, and clear plans for the US market. The acquisition of Middle Peak Medical represents an…opportunity to expand our presence in structural hearth therapies, synergistically leveraging the fully-fledged organisation built-up over the past 10 years for our ACURATE product range in the TAVI segment.”

Middle Peak Medical device is not currently approved for sale in any country.
