Acelity L.P. Inc., was a privately held medical device company. It was a non-operating holding company whose wholly owned subsidiaries developed advanced wound therapeutics products. The advanced wound therapeutics business was conducted by Kinetic Concepts, Inc. (KCI) and its subsidiaries, including Systagenix.[1]

The company reported $1.87 billion in annual revenue globally in 2015.[2]

In October 2019 Acelity Inc. and its KCI subsidiaries worldwide were acquired by 3M.[3]

History

Acelity began as Kinetic Concepts Inc., a medical technology company founded in 1976 by Dr. Jim Leininger, an emergency room physician in San Antonio, Texas.[4] Over time, the company developed or acquired a line of therapeutic specialty beds, introducing a specialty bed for acute care patients with pulmonary complications.[5] Initially KCI's product development focused on therapeutic beds and surfaces then expanded to introduce V.A.C. Therapy, the first commercial negative pressure wound therapy products in the mid-1990s. In 2016, more than 10 million wounds were treated with V.A.C. Therapy worldwide since its introduction.[6][7][8] In 2008, KCI acquired LifeCell, a company specializing in regenerative medicine, in a non-hostile transaction for US$1.7 billion.[9][10][11] In October 2013, KCI acquired Systagenix Wound Management, originally Johnson & Johnson's professional wound care business for $485 million.[12] In September 2014, KCI's parent company announced that KCI, LifeCell and Systagenix would operate under one global medical technology brand known as Acelity.[13] On December 21, 2016, pharmaceutical company Allergan announced it would acquire LifeCell Corp. for US$2.9 billion.[14] The sale completed on February 1, 2017.[15]

In April 2017, Acelity announced R. Andrew Eckert would replace Joseph Woody as chief executive and president.[16]

Financial information

From the founding of KCI in 1976 to 1988, the revenue of KCI grew to US$153.2 million. The growth in revenue allowed KCI to go public and trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for the first time in 1988.[17] KCI stock was traded on the NYSE until 1997, when the company went private. In February 2004, KCI became a publicly listed company for the second time and was listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol KCI.[18][19] By the late 2000s, the company's revenue was over $1 billion and reported an increase of 17 percent in 2007 to $1.61 billion.[20] Revenue for 2008 was $1.88 billion, increasing to $1.99 billion in 2009[21] and in 2010 increased to $2.02 billion.[22] In 2011, the company went private again at a price of $68.50 per share. In August 2015, Acelity filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a proposed initial offering of its common stock.[23] On December 7, 2016, the company withdrew its IPO registration statement with the SEC, citing a challenging IPO market.[24]

Mergers and acquisitions

Early 1990s: KCI detailed its operations into four divisions:[25] KCI New Technologies, Inc.
