- Medical device maker Medtronic MDT.N said on Wednesday it plans to acquire privately held SPR Therapeutics for about $650 million in cash, expanding its portfolio of treatments for chronic pain.

  • The deal gives Medtronic access to SPR's SPRINT system, a 60-day therapy designed to provide pain relief without requiring a permanent implant.

  • SPR Therapeutics is focused on non-opioid, non-surgical, minimally invasive pain management solutions.

  • Medtronic said the acquisition will help it reach more patients with less invasive pain relief options.

  • The deal is expected to close in the first half of Medtronic's fiscal 2027, which began on April 25, subject to regulatory approvals.
