Olympus to Acquire Lithotripsy Systems from Cybersonics

Olympus has signed a definitive agreement to acquire lithotripsy system design and production technology from Cybersonics Inc. Olympus’ dual action lithotripsy system ShockPulse-SE and CyberWand, currently manufactured by Cybersonics, will now be part of Olympus’s urology competence. This acquisition will further enable the company to improve clinical outcomes, reduce overall costs, and enhance quality of life for patients.

ShockPulse-SE and CyberWand will be serviced and manufactured by Olympus’s subsidiary, Olympus Surgical Technologies America (OSTA). OSTA specializes in innovative research and development and manufacturing of medical devices in North America. Intracorporeal lithotripsy is integral to the current strategic growth plan for Olympus’s urology business, and the integration of the design and production technology of these devices will further strengthen Olympus’s position as a global leader in the urology market.

“We are thrilled to acquire Cybersonics’ lithotripsy systems and add them to our already powerful urology portfolio.”

Joe Doherty
President,
Olympus Surgical Technologies America
