Return of the Billion Dollar Medtech Deal

It seems as if today’s climate would call for smaller tuck-in deals. But the opposite is happening in the medical devices and diagnostics.  The industry has seen larger more robust deals that are stretching past the billion-dollar mark.

But more million-dollar deals beyond the virtual health space are happening – such as the proposed Siemens Healthineers/Varian merger.
