Cosman Medical in Burlington was bought by Boston Scientific in 2016. Boston Scientific plans to lay off 85 workers in Burlington later this year.
Boston Scientific has alerted the state it plans to lay off 85 workers at a site in Burlington later this year.
The Marlborough medical device company disclosed the plans on Friday as required under the state's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act for larger-scale layoffs.
Boston Scientific said the job cuts will be effective from late September through December.
Boston Scientific didn't disclose more details, but it gained a foothold in Burlington in 2016 when it bought Cosman Medical, a privately held manufacturer of radiofrequency ablation systems as part of Boston Scientific's expansion into non-opioid pain medication treatments.
The planned layoffs come as Boston Scientific has been on a buying spree this year, including California-based Claret Medical for up to $270 million and California-based Cryterion Medical for $202 million.
Last week, the company reported a $555 million profit and nearly $2.5 billion in sales for the second quarter.
