Medtronic Acquires Restore Medical

July 18, 2008

Medtronic has completed its acquisition of Restore Medical for roughly $29 million.

As a result of the purchase agreement, Medtronic will integrate Restore’s Pillar Palatal Implant System into its Surgical Technologies business unit, Medtronic said.

The Pillar System is a minimally invasive, implantable medical device used to treat the soft palate component of sleep breathing disorders, including mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.
