Niveus Medical has been acquired as of January 2018. Transaction details have not been publicly disclosed. Niveus Medical is an early stage medical device company aimed at improving outcomes in patient care through the prevention of muscle atrophy and related weakness in long-stay patients. Debilitation during extended hospital stays is devastating for patients and is tremendously costly for the health-care system. Niveus Medical has developed a series of patented, novel technologies to reduce or prevent debilitation and thereby accelerate patient recovery, which is correlated with shorter hospital stays and reduced hospital and insurer costs.
