Medtronic acquires chitosan-dextran gel technology, which the company hopes will one day make endoscopic sinus treatments safer.
The world’s largest medical device maker bought the rights to a technology that it hopes can one day develop products for functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
Minneapolis-based Medtronic Inc. (NYSE:MDT) said that the so-called chitosan-dextran gel technology was acquired from Robinson Squidgel Ltd., the University of Adelaide in Australia and the University of Otago in New Zealand.
