Isto Holdings, the parent company of Isto Technologies, has acquired Massachusetts based Arteriocyte Medical Systems Inc. and the two companies will be combined under the name Isto Biologics under the current CEO of Isto Technologies, George Dunbar.
According to its website, Isto Technologies is a medical device company involved with bone and cartilage repair and regeneration. Public records indicate that there are several pending patent applications listing Isto as the applicant. According to its website, Arteriocyte focuses on improving surgical outcomes and there are several patents and applications listing Isto as the applicant covering a number of technologies, such as centrifuge systems and autologous fibrin sealants, to name a few.
Accordingly, Isto Biologics’s expanded product portfolio will now include Arteriocyte’s MAGELLLAN autologous platelet separator with Isto’s bone-growth and cell therapy products including InQu bone graft extender and substitute, Influx natural bone-grant material, and CellPoint concentrated bone marrow aspirate system.
Thompson Street Capital Partners, which acquired the commercial operations of Isto in June of this year, provided capital for the transaction. According to Anthony Chambers, Director at Thompson:
We’re excited to bring together two great organizations under the Isto umbrella and build upon their leading biologics platforms.
At this time, the terms of the acquisition deal have not been disclosed. While the combined company will be headquartered in St. Louis under CEO George Dunbar, Isto’s base of operations, they will maintain operations in Massachusetts.
