Boston Scientific’s Renal Denervation Push: A Strategic Acquisition
In a significant move within the medtech sector, Boston Scientific has re-entered the renal denervation (RDN) race with a bold acquisition. On March 5th, 2025, the company announced the $540 million acquisition of SoniVie Ltd., an Israeli firm developing an ultrasound-based renal denervation system to treat uncontrolled hypertension. This acquisition signals Boston Scientific’s confidence in the future of the renal denervation devices market, a field that’s showing strong momentum following recent FDA approvals from Medtronic and Recor Medical.
This article will delve into Boston Scientific’s renal denervation strategy, the potential of the RDN market, and how this acquisition could reshape the hypertension treatment landscape in the years to come.
Two Different Approaches: Boston Scientific’s Renal Denervation Strategy
Boston Scientific’s renal denervation strategy sets it apart from its competitors, as the company focuses on ultrasound technology in a field where most others, like Medtronic and ReCor, rely on radiofrequency (RF) energy. While RF-based devices have been the standard for years, ultrasound offers promising advantages in terms of ablation depth, procedure time, and vessel suitability, making it an appealing approach for the future of renal denervation.
