Background

 

Originally part of a larger quoted medical technology group, Diaverum was identified as a non-core asset when Bridgepoint acquired the business. The company treats patients suffering from end stage renal disease who must undergo dialysis (on average 150 treatments a year) to eliminate toxins and fluids arising from failing kidney function.  The company operates in a sector with attractive long-term market dynamics where the number of patients requiring dialysis treatment is growing by 5-7% p.a.
