Quid, this one is HUGE! MDT lacking IP for single port? How do they go from no IP to showing off their single port offering in such a short period of time?

MDT says (or maybe just implies...)they are going to show the world their new single port offering on Sept 24. All their previous publicized efforts were in the multi-port realm. This large point you just brought up about MDT lacking any single port IP in their portfolio. Coincidental moves with Fowler and Zaring (even Federico) which could be viewed as unusually coincidental. Zaring helped transition Mazor over to Medtronic, and then jumps ship to Titan. Titan appears to be running on fumes financially but they keep running (unlike 2016).

Who wants to add more to the list of unusual "coincidences" which could all be explained by an MDT buyout of Titan? Feel free to do so!

I'm not 100% sold on this buyout scenario being a fact, but I really like how all these things are lining up.

Devicerep, sorry, I'm just catching up on posts and hadn't read yours when I wrote this - obviously we are thinking very similarly.. But feel free to help build a distinct list of questions which would be answered by a Medtronic buyout!

As for a bidding war, maybe that already happened in the background between JnJ and MDT. The Auris buyout model shows milestone requirements for full price; maybe MDT prefers to keep things under wraps until the milestones are met and the whole thing is official. Who knows...
