Medtronic Acquires SPR Therapeutics for $650 Million

The acquisition is valued at $650 million, consisting of an upfront cash payment.

"Medtronic is committed to expanding access to innovative therapies that can meaningfully improve patient lives," said Domenico De Paolis, Interim President of the Neuromodulation Operating Unit, part of the Medtronic Neuroscience Portfolio. "The addition of SPRINT® extends our ability to serve patients across the continuum of pain care and broadens patient access to a minimally invasive treatment option to address both chronic and acute pain."

"At SPR, our mission has always been to help people living with pain reclaim their lives," said Maria Bennett, President, Founder, and Chief Executive Officer of SPR. "We are proud of the impact our team has made in advancing innovative therapies that offer meaningful pain relief. Joining Medtronic enables us to build on that foundation, expand access to our technology, and serve more patients living with pain."

This acquisition reflects Medtronic's continued focus on strategic deals that strengthen its leadership across core businesses. It is expected to be minimally dilutive to Medtronic adjusted EPS in FY27 and neutral to accretive thereafter. The company remains committed to pursuing high-growth opportunities that complement its portfolio and enhance therapy options for physicians and hospital partners.
