A major deal just happened in the world of medical tech.

Laborie Medical Technologies is buying the JADA System from Organon. This system helps stop heavy bleeding after childbirth. The price tag? A whopping $465 million. That's a lot of money, but it's for a device that could save lives.

The JADA System: A Global Impact

Laborie is known for its work in urology, gastroenterology, and obstetrics. They're backed by Patricia Industries, a major player in finance.
