As part of the transaction, the manufacturing operations, sterilization services, warehouse facilities, R&D and regulatory support functions located in Gargrave have been transferred to Scapa Healthcare.

Scapa Healthcare and Acelity have entered into a long-term exclusive manufacturing and supply agreement, in which Scapa Healthcare will continue manufacturing the KCI advanced wound dressings portfolio manufactured in Gargrave.
