GAITHERSBURG, Md., Sept. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elutia Inc. (NASDAQ:ELUT) ("Elutia" or the "Company"), a pioneer in drug-eluting biomatrix technologies, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its EluPro™ and CanGaroo® bioenvelopes, designed to protect patients receiving implantable medical devices, to Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:BSX) for $88 million in cash. The transaction underscores the value of Elutia's proprietary drug-eluting biologic technology platform and enables the Company to complete development and commercialization of its near-term blockbuster pipeline without the need for shareholder dilution.
"EluPro has clearly demonstrated that our proprietary drug-eluting biologics platform works at scale," said Dr. Randy Mills, CEO of Elutia. "With the successful launch of EluPro, seven national group purchasing organization contracts secured and more than 160 value analysis committee approvals, we have shown that we can develop, manufacture and commercialize these highly regulated breakthrough products, and that they are valued by physicians.
"Now, with a transformed balance sheet, an established commercial engine and a proven team, we are ready to repeat our success with NXT-41x. This novel technology is designed to transform the $1.5 billion breast reconstruction market and help women recovering from breast cancer to thrive without compromise," added Dr. Mills.
The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
Transformative Impact for Shareholders
The transaction marks a pivotal advance for Elutia, strengthening the Company's financial position and unlocking long-term shareholder value:
- Balance Sheet Transformation – Positions Elutia to eliminate outstanding debt, substantially resolve litigation from the Company's previously divested Orthobiologics business, and leaves the Company with a significantly reduced burn rate.
- Non-Dilutive Funding – Fully funds advancement and commercialization of NXT-41 and NXT-41x, creating a clear path to cash-flow positive operations without shareholder dilution.
- Focus – Enables Elutia to dedicate its resources toward advancing its SimpliDerm franchise and first-in-class drug-eluting pipeline in the $1.5 billion U.S. breast reconstruction market. Elutia will directly leverage its considerable experience developing EluPro to address this even larger unmet clinical need and market opportunity.
