Executive Summary
Cardiac surgery device maker Sorin will acquire the Clearglide endoscopic vessel harvesting business of Datascope for undisclosed terms under an agreement announced Nov. 26. Getinge agreed to buy all of Datascope in September, but the firm said it was prepared to divest the Clearglide unit due to overlap with Getinge's own endoscopic vessel harvesting business (1"The Gray Sheet" Sept. 22, 2008, p. 15)
