Dear Valued Customer, 

Boston Scientific acquired Apollo Endosurgery on April 4, 2023. As we continue the integration of the Apollo Endosurgery business into Boston Scientific, we are preparing to incorporate Apollo Endosurgery products into the Boston Scientific distribution, customer service and accounts receivable functions. This will enable streamlined ordering through Boston Scientific, including consolidated direct orders and a localized Customer Care team.  

What You Need to Know 

Beginning November 6, 2023, all Apollo Endosurgery products will be distributed via Boston Scientific distribution processes. 

While the long-term benefits are significant, this shift will involve a few important process adjustments that are outlined below. Please review these new processes carefully and adjust your business procedures as appropriate. 

What You Need to Do 

• Update your vendor master information to Boston Scientific for all applicable products before November 6, 2023. A table of product codes can be found attached to this email.
• Apollo Endosurgery will accept orders through October 31, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. CT/3:00 p.m. PT.
• Legacy Apollo Endosurgery Customer Care will no longer fulfill orders after this time.
• No Apollo Endosurgery product orders will be accepted November 1 through November 3, 2023.
