------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategic acquisition of transurethral microwave therapy mobile provider
Natick, MA (October 2, 2007) -- Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) today announced that it has purchased the business of Rocky Mountain Prostate Center, a mobile provider for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, often referred to as enlarged prostate) from Healthtronics, Inc. Since 1997, Rocky Mountain Prostate Center has been providing mobile service support to the Urology community, utilizing the Prolieve Thermodilatation® System since 2005. The Prolieve System offers a dual-action technology using balloon dilatation to dilate the prostatic urethra and microwave heating to reduce the enlarged prostate tissue.
BPH affects many men over the age of 50 and can have a significant impact on quality of life, including a frequent need to urinate and pain or burning while urinating. Rocky Mountain Prostate Center provides the Urologist access to a mobile service to treat symptomatic BPH with the Prolieve System. Rocky Mountain Prostate brings the technology to the office and provides technical support during the procedure.
“The acquisition of Rocky Mountain Prostate allows Boston Scientific to reach and help more patients suffering from symptomatic BPH,” said Eric Goorno, President of Boston Scientific’s Urology/Gynecology business. “This purchase demonstrates Boston Scientific’s continued commitment to increasing the availability of microwave treatment for BPH throughout the United States.”
