Medica and acquisition news dominated MPO website traffic this past week.
Digital wanderers visited the site for the latest updates on the world's largest medical trade show, which ran Nov. 13-16 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Fan favorites included a photo tour of the event and a rundown of new products, including a mobile emergency bracelet (EC 70 SafePlus), a pocket-sized electron microscope, an artifical intelligence-controlled wearable for sleep improvement (FRENZ Brainband), cryotherapy technology (icebin recovery system), and a smartphone-based counterfeit medicine detector (SmartID Demonstrator).
TekniPlex Healthcare and Millar garnered pageviews for their respective purchases while J&J's Ethicon unit appealed to cybervisitors upon gaining EU approval for its Ethizia Hemostatic Sealing Patch, used to control difficult bleeds.
TekniPlex's deal for Seisa Medical will augment the company’s material science and process technologies for minimally invasive and interventional therapy devices. The bid for Seisa is the 20th acquisition TekniPlex has made in the past 10 years. El Paso, Texas-based Seisa is a medical device manufacturing firm servicing design and development, component manufacturing, and final assembly. The company employs more than 2,000 people across four facilities in the United States, Mexico, and Slovakia.

Millar's buyout of Sentron, on the other hand, aligns with its commitment to advance medical understanding and enable scientific discoveries through pressure sensor technology. Millar claims the transaction also will help it to redefine the medical sensor technology landscape. Sentron is a Netherlands-based pressure and pH sensor manufacturing company currently owned by Wellinq.
