Laborie Medical Technologies

What Laborie Medical Technologies does

Laborie Medical Technologies is a privately held, Portsmouth, New Hampshire-headquartered global medical device company that develops, manufactures, and markets diagnostic and therapeutic products across three specialty franchises: Urology & Urogynecology, Gastroenterology, and Maternal & Child Health. Founded in 1967 (per firmographic data) and operating with 501-1,000 employees, the company sells capital equipment systems such as the NXT, Aquarius, and Goby urodynamics platforms, the alpHaONE wireless pH capsule for GERD, and the Solar high-resolution manometry system for GI diagnostics, alongside therapeutic devices including the Optilume drug-coated balloon for BPH and urethral stricture, the Eclipse vaginal insert for fecal incontinence, the JADA vacuum-induced system for postpartum hemorrhage, and the LifeBubble umbilical catheter securement device for NICU use. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of capital equipment and recurring consumables (catheters, sensors, balloons, single-use accessories) sold via a direct enterprise sales force and a global distributor network of 100+ partners across more than 50 countries, supplemented by CME-accredited professional education services delivered through partnerships including the International Continence Society.

Laborie's growth model is built on a programmatic acquisition strategy executed since the 2012 Audax Private Equity investment, with notable transactions including Clinical Innovations (2019, $525M), Cogentix Medical (2018, $239M), Pelvalon (2021), GI Supply (2022), Novonate (2023), Urotronic (2023, ~$600M), and the announced JADA System acquisition from Organon (2025, up to $465M), which together have built a multi-specialty medical device platform with installed bases in over 2,000 U.S. hospitals and 20+ countries for flagship products. The company differentiates through FDA-cleared novel mechanism devices supported by peer-reviewed clinical data (including five-year Optilume efficacy publications and an 86.4% Eclipse success rate at three months), Category 1 CPT reimbursement codes for Optilume BPH, and a global regulatory footprint spanning FDA, CE, and TGA approvals across major geographies.

Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales targeting hospital systems and specialist physician practices in urology, urogynecology, gastroenterology, and obstetrics with a tiered regional structure of owned subsidiary offices in the US, Netherlands, UK, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, and China, complemented by extensive distributor relationships across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania. Marketing emphasizes clinical evidence and physician education through live courses, webinars, expert corner content, and an e-learning partnership with the International Continence Society, while a Find a Provider directory supports patient access to Laborie-treated providers.
