Everis Medical Announces Acquisition of Hood Laboratories to Expand Head & Neck and Airway Management Portfolio

Everis Medical, a medical device company specializing in Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery, and adjacent surgical specialties, announced the acquisition of Hood Laboratories, a privately held medical technology company based in Pembroke, Massachusetts and a leading manufacturer of ENT, airway, and thoracic devices since 1962. The acquisition expands Everis’ specialized product portfolio in Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS) and establishes a meaningful entry into airway management.

“By bringing together our complementary products, we are strengthening our ability to serve clinicians with comprehensive solutions from diagnosis and intervention to post-operative management, ultimately improving patient outcomes,” said Kevin McLeod, Founder and CEO, Everis Medical.

This marks Everis’ fifth acquisition and builds on the company’s continued expansion in Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery. Previous acquisitions include the Cook Medical Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery (“OHNS”) family of products (ENT surgical instruments and implants), the Shaw Scalpel (Hemostatix, a hemostatic surgical blade), the STIC Intra-Compartmental Pressure Monitor (used in compartment syndrome diagnosis), and the T/Pump Localized Temperature Therapy System (a device for localized thermal pain management).

“We are excited to join Everis Medical and align with an organization that shares our commitment to innovation and patient care,” said Lewis Marten, CEO at Hood Laboratories. “Together, we see significant opportunities to expand the impact of our technologies.”

Backed by a shared commitment to quality, customers of both organizations will experience a seamless transition with uninterrupted access to products, service, and support.
