Gyrus buys ACMI

Gyrus has said that the acquisition would increase its product range in gynecology and urology, and give it a platform to expand into general surgery. "It gives us a portfolio of products that, together with out devices, gives us an opportunity to enter the general surgery market, which is a much bigger market," commented Brain Steer, executive chairman of Gyrus.
