GAITHERSBURG, Md., Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elutia Inc. (Nasdaq: ELUT) (“Elutia” or the “Company”), a pioneer in drug-eluting biomatrix technologies, today announced the closing of the sale of its BioEnvelope business, including the EluPro™ and CanGaroo® bioenvelopes, to Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) for $88 million in cash.

With this closing, Elutia will leverage its proven drug-eluting biologics platform with a more concentrated focus on advancing NXT-41x, a biomatrix that directly addresses the root causes of reconstruction infections following mastectomy. NXT-41x combines excellent handling, optimal biologics, and powerful, extended antibiotic release to provide protection while supporting tissue regeneration.

“With our significantly strengthened financial position, we plan to bring NXT-41x to market in the first half of 2027,” said Dr. Randy Mills, CEO of Elutia. “We are confident we have the people, technology, and resources to reshape the breast reconstruction treatment paradigm and accelerate our path to positive cash flow. I want to thank the entire Elutia CRU for their relentless work to enable patients everywhere to thrive without compromise.”

Each year, more than 150,000 breast reconstruction procedures are performed in the U.S., and approximately one in three patients suffer serious complications. These complications often result in multiple surgeries, delays in treatment and additional health risks. With biologics accounting for 65% of implant-based costs, an improved treatment option has the potential to capture a significant share of the estimated $1.5 billion U.S. market opportunity.
