Executive Summary
Alpine Biomed is staking out a global leadership position in the specialty diagnostics market after completing the purchase of Medtronic's neurodiagnostic product line for an undisclosed sum on August 1. The Fountain Valley, California company gained all Medtronic neurodiagnostic equipment and accessories, including the Keypoint electromyography (EMG), Clavis hand-held EMG injection device, and needle and surface electrodes. It is Alpine's second deal with Medtronic this year: in May it purchased Medtronic's gastroenterology diagnostic product line, and this latest transaction sees Alpine acquire the whole range of diagnostics tools, ready for integration into its own portfolio for the treatment of various neuropathies.
