Endomag being sold to US firm for $310m

The deal is subject to working capital, other customary closing adjustments and regulatory approvals.

Endomag is a breast surgical guidance company based at Cambridge Science Park. The company generated around $35m of revenue in calendar 2023.

It develops and sells breast surgery localisation and lymphatic tracing technologies. Its products include the Magseed® marker for magnetic tissue localization before surgery, the Magtrace® lymphatic tracing injectable for breast cancer staging and the Sentimag® platform, which supports both localization and lymphatic tracing.

Hologic, Inc. is a global medical technology innovator focused on improving the health and well-being of women, their families and communities through early detection and treatment.

Its advancements include invention of the world’s first commercial 3D mammography system to find breast cancer earlier; leadership in testing for cervical cancer, sexually transmitted infections and respiratory illnesses; and minimally invasive surgical technologies for uterine fibroids and abnormal uterine bleeding.
