H.I.G. Capital-backed Vernacare, a global developer and manufacturer of single-use medical devices and healthcare consumables, today announces that it has completed the acquisition of Eakin Surgical Limited from Eakin Healthcare Group.
This move further advances Vernacare’s buy-and-build strategy, adding to its portfolio of critical medical consumables, and accelerates its international growth, which aligns with the Company’s strategic focus to expand its commercial presence in Europe. The acquisition is the latest from Vernacare, following its purchases of Frontier Medical’s Infection Prevention Business, Robinson Healthcare and Splice Cast Limited in 2020, 2021, and 2023 respectively.
Eakin Surgical is a leading manufacturer of high‑quality, single‑use surgical instruments, including suction products and sterile procedure solutions. For over two decades, it has partnered with the NHS, HSE and healthcare providers across more than 30 markets worldwide, delivering trusted and reliable products that enhance patient safety and improve clinical outcomes.
The acquisition continues Vernacare’s expansion of its Surgical Solutions portfolio and strengthens its offering across key clinical settings. By leveraging Eakin Surgical’s established international commercial activity, Vernacare is well positioned to increase its exposure to priority markets and unlock additional capacity for future growth. The transaction also deepens Vernacare’s engagement with key clinical and commercial stakeholders across public healthcare systems, supported by Eakin Surgical’s strong and well-established customer relationships.
