“It has been extremely edifying to see Z-Medica transform over the years. We took what was essentially just a product line in 2012 and we built an exciting and diversified company out of it,” said Doug Schillinger, Managing Director at DWHP. “Five years later, we agreed to stay involved and partner with Linden to launch the QuickClot Control+ product line which has become a staple in U.S. trauma centers.”

Eric Compton, CEO of Z-Medica said, “DWHP’s continued involvement in the business has been critical to our ongoing success as they have provided important historical context, as well as continued guidance. I would like to thank Doug and Steve for their tremendous insight and partnership as Board members.”
