MARLB OROUGH — Boston Scientific has aligned itself with a Chinese company that will help the medical device manufacturer reach out to more doctors who remove stones from patients' bile ducts. Boston Scientific (BSX) will also buy an undis- closed stake in the firm, Frankenman Medical Equipment Co., according to a statement from BSX. The agreement will allow both firms to reach more doctors and treat more patients by pro- viding training on less-invasive endo- scopic technologies, along with their clinical and economic benefits, the BSX statement said. Warren Wang, with BSX in China, said more than a million bile duct stone-removal proce- dures are performed each year in that country. "While less invasive endo- scopic procedures can lead to better patient outcomes and reduced … costs, access to these procedures is extremely limited," he said in the statement.
