BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) announced it has completed the acquisition of TVA Medical, Inc. and with it everlinQ endoAVF System.

BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) announced it has completed the acquisition of TVA Medical, Inc., a company that develops minimally invasive vascular access solutions for patients with chronic kidney disease requiring hemodialysis. In the U.S. alone, there are more than 440,000 patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) who are surviving on hemodialysis. The addition of TVA Medical enables BD to offer the everlinQ endoAVF System, a new endovascular arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation technology that adds to the company's ESRD portfolio of dialysis catheters, drug coated balloons, standard angioplasty balloons and endovascular stent graft products. This technology will further improve BD's ability to serve physicians and their patients by providing a minimally invasive option for creating critical AV fistulas (joining arteries to veins to create a circuit) for hemodialysis procedures. On June 22, the FDA announced De Novo marketing authorization for the everlinQ endoAVF System.
