Microline Pentax acquired Sunnyvale, Calif. -based Starion Instruments for an undisclosed amount.
Beverly-based Microline Pentax said the deal will expand its reach into the cardiology and ear, nose & throat markets.
Microline makes laparoscopic surgical devices. Starion’s devices feature a so-called “tissue welding” technology that uses direct heat and pressure to simultaneously seal and divide soft tissue and vessels.
