Richard and I had the incredible privilege of collaborating with Informa on their MEDevice Boston show this past September! Together, we organized the Start-Up Pavilion, showcasing several groundbreaking early-stage medical device technologies. In addition, we coordinated and produced two dynamic thought-leadership panels at the Start-Up Stadium, which included Lightning Round Pitch sessions for participating startups—an exciting opportunity for them to share their innovative solutions. To help promote MEDevice Boston, Informa sponsored The MedTech Impact Podcast, a platform Richard and I launched two years ago to spotlight early-stage medtech companies, share their stories, and discuss the critical problems they’re solving in the industry. The day culminated in a fantastic networking event, the MedTech Mixer, hosted at Goodwin, thanks to the generosity of Martin Gomez and their amazing team. It was a wonderful evening of connection and collaboration, bringing together professionals across the medtech industry. A huge thank you to Adrienne Zepeda, Selena Muraski, and Lauren Moore, CEM, for trusting us to partner on such a prestigious event in the medical device manufacturing space. Lastly, we want to extend our gratitude to everyone who participated and contributed to the success of MEDevice Boston. Your involvement made it all possible!

STERIS has reached a definitive agreement to divest its Dental segment to Peak Rock Capital, a leading middle-market private investment firm, for an impressive $787.5 million. This strategic move, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory review, is expected to be finalized in the first quarter of the 2025 fiscal year. In addition to this milestone, STERIS stands to potentially earn an additional $12.5 million based on revenue targets for the Dental segment in fiscal 2025. The company plans to utilize the proceeds primarily to reduce debt, further strengthening its financial position. Reflecting on this decision, STERIS President and CEO, Dan Carestio, remarked, "Since acquiring our Dental segment through the Cantel acquisition, we've concentrated on implementing lean manufacturing methods to enhance operational efficiencies. We've been incredibly impressed by the dedication of our team, their embrace of lean philosophies, and the strong market position our Dental business holds with its customers." Carestio continued, "After careful consideration of strategic alternatives, we've chosen to divest our Dental segment to refocus our efforts on serving customers within our core markets in healthcare, pharma, and medtech. We're confident that with the investment and support of Peak Rock Capital, this business will thrive." As part of this transition, the Dental segment will be classified as discontinued operations for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2024. STERIS will provide guidance for fiscal 2025, incorporating this transaction, upon the release of fourth quarter fiscal 2024 results. #Otexe #OtexeDigest

I'm surprised by this. I enjoyed interviewing the CMR Surgical Senior Exec Team Supratim Bose along with co-founders Mark Slack (CMO) and Luke Hares (CTO) at DeviceTalks Boston. I hope all is well for everyone involved. Looking forward to seeing who becomes new permanent CEO. #MedTech Vet Massimiliano Colella will serve as interim ... at least.
