Stryker (Kalamazoo, MI, USA) has completed the acquisition of NICO Corporation (Indianapolis, IN, USA which provides a systematic approach to minimally invasive surgery for tumor and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) procedures. This acquisition further strengthens Stryker's commitment to neurotechnology through tumor and stroke care.

ICH, or bleeding in the brain caused by a ruptured blood vessel, is the deadliest form of stroke, affecting over 3.4 million people annually around the world, with rising rates due to an aging population. ICH has high morbidity and a 30-day mortality rate ranging from 40-50%. NICO's BrainPath and Myriad products enable a treatment option for ICH with improved functional outcomes compared to guideline-based medical management alone, the current standard of care.
