Executive Summary

Stryker announced a definitive agreement to acquire Amplitude Vascular Systems, a private developer of next-generation intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) technology for treating calcified peripheral arterial disease. The acquisition strengthens Stryker’s Peripheral Vascular portfolio and advances its strategy in arterial disease treatment, with the deal subject to customary closing conditions.

Key Facts

  • Stryker is acquiring Amplitude Vascular Systems (AVS), a privately held company developing a next-generation IVL platform for calcified peripheral arterial disease.
  • AVS’ technology uses pulsed CO₂-generated pressure waves via a balloon catheter to fracture calcium and improve luminal gain, enhancing deliverability and treatment efficiency.
  • The acquisition expands Stryker’s Peripheral Vascular (PV) portfolio and supports its strategy to build a comprehensive PV platform.
  • Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions; both companies will operate independently until closing.
  • AVS was founded in 2017 and is backed by BioStar Capital, Cue Growth Partners, and other global investors.

Financial Impact

Undisclosed amount; likely mid- to high-hundreds of millions given strategic fit and technology stage.

Risk Factors
