BD's (BDX) Tissuemed Buyout to Boost its Surgical Solutions Arm
Read MoreHide Full Article
Becton, Dickinson and Company (BDX - Free Report) , popularly known as BD, recently acquired Tissuemed, Ltd. The buyout enables BD to integrate Tissuemed's lead product, Tissuepatch, into its surgical solutions portfolio. However, the terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
It should be noted that the impacts of this buyout are expected to be immaterial to BD's fiscal 2022 financial results.
For investors’ note, Leeds, England-based privately held firm — Tissuemed — is a well-known provider of self-adhesive surgical sealant films.
Few Words on Tissuepatch
Tissuemed’s Tissuepatch is a proprietary sealant technology that bonds to tissues, thereby aiding in controlling internal bleeding as well as preventing leaks from surgical incisions. Further, the technology's composition, which is ready to use out of the package, makes it perfectly suitable for various surgical sealant applications.
Significance of the Buyout
The latest acquisition expands BD's global offerings for surgeons outside the United States. Tissuepatch is already well known among surgeons as it enables strong adhesion and minimal swelling. This is expected to enable BD to leverage its reach and clinical expertise to continue breaking new ground within the sealant technology category. Notably, the technology is expected to make substantial progress over the next few years.
Per management, the advanced sealant is strategic, as it is expected to complement BD’s products currently used in the operating room. This is likely to enable the company to equip surgeons with a more robust and highly-integrated portfolio of surgical solutions and help it to support minimally invasive surgeries.

Per a report by Research and Markets, the global market for medical adhesives and sealants was estimated to be $10.3 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to reach $15.2 billion by 2027 at a CAGR of 5.6%. Factors like the rising number of surgical procedures and the growing number of medical implantation and transplantation procedures are likely to drive the market.
Given the market potential, the latest acquisition is expected to significantly strengthen BD’s business worldwide.
