NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. and FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.—Solmetex, LLC, provider of amalgam separators and other waste compliance products, announced that it has closed the acquisition of DryShield, a dental innovator of in-treatment patient isolation products.

With Solmetex’s recently announced acquisition of Sterisil, a innovator of dental unit water line infection control products, the combined company will result in a diversified business and category leader in dental water treatment and patient safety management for the U.S. and global dental markets. This includes a commitment to strengthen and expand partnerships based on assisting both individual dental practices and Dental Service Organizations in managing highly efficient businesses with patient safety at the forefront.

DryShield brings a history of innovation in the development of dental technologies designed to bring levels of ease, comfort and safety to dentists and their patients and, as part of the Solmetex offering, will expand its continued focus on developing and implementing treatment focused technologies.

Solmetex is a portfolio company of Avista Capital Partners (“Avista”), which together with other shareholders, is providing equity capital, operational oversight, and strategic counsel to help ensure the success of the newly combined company.
