Stryker announced $400 million deal with CMR Surgical for soft tissue robotics

In case you missed it Stryker just announced a massive deal with UK based CMR Surgical - injecting $400 million for rights to distribute in the USA. Plus leaving the door open to purchase the rest of the outstanding stock of the company later.


As a former CMR Surgery employee I'm thrilled; as I think it is a great strategic fit for them both... but why..... I've created this video to give my initial reaction and insights as to why I think it is a perfect fit. We now have four massive medtech monsters in the soft tissue robotics space / Intuitive, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic and now Stryker. Game on.
