HR HealthCare Acquires SteriGear LLC and Fig Leaf Brand, Expanding Urology Solutions Across the Care Continuum

HR HealthCare has announced the acquisition of SteriGear, LLC, including its Fig Leaf brand of urinary drainage devices, for an undisclosed amount. The transaction, which was made public on June 16, 2026, is aimed at enhancing HR HealthCare's bladder management solutions across a variety of care settings, from acute to post-acute and home care environments.

SteriGear is well-known for its Fig Leaf urinary drainage bag, which is designed to maintain patient dignity by concealing fluid from view through an innovative built-in privacy cover. The company also offers a range of covers and drapes that protect medical equipment and enhance procedural efficiency. The acquisition is expected to significantly extend SteriGear's market reach, particularly in skilled nursing and long-term care settings, while also adapting its product configurations to meet the specific needs of acute care and health systems.

The strategic rationale behind this acquisition lies in HR HealthCare's commitment to providing comprehensive urology solutions. By integrating SteriGear's products with its existing TruCath® offerings, HR HealthCare aims to create a more complete portfolio for its channel partners and health systems. This consolidation is anticipated to streamline the sourcing and implementation of urology solutions, thereby improving access for clinicians and caregivers. The integration process will maintain the integrity of the existing product lines, ensuring that customers experience no changes in item numbers, product quality, or clinical effectiveness.

As part of the transition plan, the Fig Leaf brand will continue to be marketed, while the SteriGear brand will gradually be integrated into HR HealthCare's branding and operations. This phased approach will include updates to marketing, packaging, and labeling, with the SteriGear website scheduled to transition to HR HealthCare by August 1, 2026. Customers can expect clear communication regarding the integration process, ensuring a smooth transition.

The acquisition of SteriGear by HR HealthCare reflects broader trends in the healthcare sector, where companies are increasingly focused on enhancing their product offerings through strategic mergers and acquisitions. As the demand for innovative and dignified healthcare solutions continues to grow, this transaction positions HR HealthCare to better serve the evolving needs of patients and healthcare providers alike. The integration of SteriGear’s products is expected to contribute to improved patient care and operational efficiencies, reinforcing HR HealthCare's role as a leader in the medical technology industry.
