Cantel Medical has expanded its infection prevention and control portfolio with the acquisition of MRLB International, the manufacturer of the DentaPure dental water line product line. Acquired for $10 million in cash considerations, the line will be integrated into the Crosstex portfolio.
The DentaPure product line is a proprietary, iodinated resin filter cartridge system used by dentists to maintain safe water quality in dental unit water lines.
Water line disinfection is one the fastest-growing segments in infection control in dentistry, according to Gary Steinberg, president and CEO of Crosstex.
"DentaPure positions Crosstex as the clear infection prevention and control compliance leader in the dental industry," he stated in a press release.
The DentaPure cartridge system surpasses all standards and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for dental unit water quality, thus maintaining safe water quality for patients and staff, according to the company. The DentaPure cartridge systems, which are sold throughout the U.S. and Canada, have Food and Drug Administration 510(k) certifications and are registered by the Environmental Protection Agency as dental unit water line disinfectants.
