Molecular breast imaging developer Dilon Technologies has acquired the assets of the Navigator gamma probe business from RMD Instruments.
RMD Instruments, a subsidiary of Dynasil Corporation of America, has more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing and marketing intraoperative surgical probes distributed in the U.S. and internationally. The acquired products are used in surgery for procedures such as sentinel lymph node biopsy and pulmonary wedge resection. The company recently introduced its Navigator 2.0 wireless probe.
The addition is consistent with Dilon's objective of expanding its product offering in both the diagnostic and surgical segments of the market, and comes on the heels of its recent agreement with Digirad, Dilon said.
During the coming months, Dynasil's Navigator probe will be manufactured at Dilon, but for the time being Dynasil will continue to make and distribute the products, ensuring continuity in supply and regulatory compliance.
