MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--H.I.G. BioHealth Partners (“H.I.G.”), the dedicated healthcare investment affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, a leading global private equity investment firm with over $34 billion of equity capital under management,* co-led an $18M commercialization round for Clarify Medical (“Clarify”), a medical device company committed to developing products and services to treat chronic skin conditions. Clarify will use the proceeds to commercialize and further develop its Clarify Home Light Therapy System for the treatment and monitoring of patients with chronic skin conditions.
The Clarify System, which has been cleared by the FDA, is indicated for localized phototherapeutic treatment of dermatologic conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema), seborrheic dermatitis and leukoderma on all skin types (I-VI). It is the first and only connected phototherapy system that uses an app on the patient’s own smartphone (iOS or Android) to manage the dose, frequency, and duration of targeted narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) light therapy.
H.I.G. Managing Director Michael Wasserman, Ph.D., commented, “We are thrilled to support the commercialization of the Clarify Home Light Therapy System. The significant technological advances of the Clarify System will enable patients with chronic skin diseases like psoriasis, vitiligo, and eczema to safely and effectively manage their conditions at home, while remaining connected to their physicians via Clarify’s cloud connectivity. The approach has tremendous benefit for patients, physicians and healthcare providers.”
