Rayner Acquires Stake in Hasa Optix

Rayner announced that it has entered into a commercial partnership and concurrently acquired a stake in Hasa Optix, a Brussels-based manufacturer of single use ophthalmic surgical instruments and instrument sets.

The investment closed June 7, 2022. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Hasa Optix’s commitment to high quality single use and recyclable ophthalmic surgical instruments delivering the same quality and look and feel as reusable instruments makes for a very compelling business opportunity and aligns with the crucial role of quality in the design and manufacture of Rayner IOLs," Rayner CEO Tim Clover said in a company news release.

"Partnering with Hasa Optix means that we can assist ophthalmologists with an additional part of the surgical procedure and further supports our mission of being focussed on providing the best visual outcomes for clinicians and patients,” he added.

"The partnership with Rayner will allow us to significantly expand the availability of our high-quality instruments and instrument sets, giving us the best chance of achieving our ambitious growth plans. We are also excited to share our ideas and best practices to increase care quality and better control costs in/of ophthalmic surgery," said Eric T’Scharner, Hasa Optix CEO.

Hasa Optix surgical instruments will be available from Rayner in select countries, including the USA, from later this year.
