Medtronic plc has announced it has acquired Lazarus Effect, a privately-held medical device company based in California focused on acute ischemic stroke products that facilitate the capture and removal of clots. Their Lazarus Cover device is a technology that is complementary to Medtronic's Solitaire stent retriever platform. This technology has a novel nitinol 'mesh cover' that folds over a stent retriever device during clot retrieval and wraps the stent with the clot inside.
