Natus Medical Incorporated, a leading provider of medical device solutions focused on the screening, diagnosis and treatment of central nervous and sensory system disorders, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Micromed Holding SAS (“Micromed Group” or “Micromed”), a global provider of neurophysiology solutions. The transaction is expected to close in early 2023, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals.
The acquisition of Micromed will be the first transaction by Natus since being acquired by the ArchiMed Group (“ARCHIMED”) in July of this year. “We are pleased to make this first growth-oriented investment as an ARCHIMED portfolio company,” said Thomas J. Sullivan, Natus Chief Executive Officer. “The breadth and depth of clinical expertise in Natus and Micromed will enable us to bring exciting innovation to our neuroscience customers and their patients around the globe,”
