Medtronic Inc.’s (NYSE:MDT) chief regulatory affairs officer Susan Alpert will join her boss, William Hawkins, on Retirement Row this year, according to company officials.
Alpert, who has held the senior vice president and chief regulatory officer positions at Medtronic since 2005, had a similar role at C.R. Bard (NYSE:BCR) before joining MDT and is also a former director of the FDA’s Office of Device Evaluation .
The FDA granted Boston Scientific Corp. (NYSE:BSX) approval for its anchoring device for the company’s spinal cord stimulator (SCS) implant system.
The Natick, Mass.-based medical device giant designed its new Clik Anchor with locking system to increase the speed with which surgeons place the Precision Plus SCS system’s leads — the wires through which pain-masking electrical pulses are delivered to the spine for chronic pain management.
