Resonetics announced today that it has acquired the medical business of Hutchinson Technology (HTI).
Based in Hutchinson, Minn., HTI has developed a number of proprietary manufacturing processes to fabricate and assemble tight-tolerance metal components for devices used to seal vessels in many types of surgery, according to Resonetics. The company also has processes to chemically etch blades, create ceramic features on metal substrates and to fabricate miniaturized electromechanical sensors. These sensors may be used in conventional and robotic surgery and with automated devices to provide real-time feedback to surgeons as well as to authenticate proper setup and use in the surgical suite.
