Sverica International Supports RestorixHealth Acquisition of Paradigm Medical ManagementBOSTON --(Business Wire)-- Sverica International Management LLC ("Sverica"), a private equity investment firm, announced that its portfolio company, RestorixHealth, a comprehensive wound care management company, had acquired Paradigm Medical Management ("Paradigm"). Paradigm, also a wound care management company, operates outpatient wound care centers and the Amputation Prevention Centers of America™ network. The combination creates one of the largest and most progressive wound care service providers in the United States. Chronic wounds are a significant health problem affecting millions of people. That number is growing rapidly due in part to an aging population and a sharp rise in the incidence of diabetes and obesity. Caring for chronic wounds requires specialized care and advanced training, and as chronic wounds become more prevalent, the demand for specialized wound care centers also increases. Sverica initially invested in RestorixHealth (formerly the Center for Wound Healing) in December 2010. Since then, RestorixHealth has grown to the second largest operator of outpatient wound care clinics in the United States. Sverica identified Paradigm as an acquisition target, initiated discussions and lead negotiations. Sverica has further supported the company in building its management team, setting strategic direction, identifying add-on targets, and securing several rounds of debt financing. The acquisition of Paradigm is the third add-on acquisition completed by RestorixHealth.
