The medical grade monitor industry sure is a competitive one.

First, it was Siemens medical displays business, now it Planar.

NDS Surgical Imaging (NDSsi) has acquired Dome Imaging Systems, the medical business unit of Planar Systems, for a cash purchase of $34.25 million. According to the Beaverton, Ore.-based Planar, proceeds from the sale will be used “to pay off the full outstanding balance of its current line of credit and augment future working capital needs.”
