Johnson & Johnson MedTech acquires Laminar Inc. a company focused on eliminating the left atrial appendage
Johnson & Johnson MedTech announced the completion of the acquisition of Laminar, Inc., a privately-held medical device company focused on eliminating the left atrial appendage (LAA) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AFib)
Johnson & Johnson MedTech acquired Laminar for an upfront payment of $400 million, subject to customary adjustments, with additional potential clinical and regulatory milestone payments in 2024 and beyond. Laminar joins Johnson & Johnson MedTech as part of Biosense Webster, Inc. – a global leader in cardiac arrhythmia treatment. Unlike current commercial catheter-based procedure devices that use plugs to occlude the LAA, Laminar's novel approach uses rotational motion to eliminate the LAA. Laminar recently received FDA approval for the U.S. pivotal study, which will begin enrollment in early 2024.
