Boston Scientific Corp. on Wednesday said it agreed to buy privately held Baylis Medical Co. for $1.75 billion in cash in a deal that bolsters its position in left-heart procedures.

The Marlborough, Mass., maker of medical devices said Baylis, based in Mississauga, Ontario, has about 800 employees and expects to generate sales approaching $200 million next year.

Boston Scientific said the deal, which it expects to complete in the first quarter of 2022, adds the radiofrequency NRG and VersaCross transseptal platforms, along with a family of guidewires, sheaths and dilators used to support left heart access.
