“As Acelity, we want to be known worldwide for our ability to help heal wounds through solutions that address the critical unmet needs of clinicians, restore the well-being of their patients and help reduce the overall cost of patient care around the world,” said Woody.
Centaur has changed its name to Acelity L.P. Inc. The KCI, LifeCell and Systagenix subsidiaries will continue to exist as legal entities and will each operate as Acelity companies.
