Shanghai Kinetic Medical will acquire Elliquence LLC, a US medical device maker, for $77 million. Elliquence makes radiofrequency products that are used in minimally invasive orthopedic surgeries, especially for disc herniation and intervertebral disc tear. About 52% of Elliquence’s revenues are from China. Kinetic Medical, which plans to gradually take over distribution of Elliquence’s products, also makes minimally invasive surgical systems, especially for orthopedic surgeries, plus orthopedic implants and stents.
