ActivStyle, a Riverside Co. portfolio company focused on incontinence products, has acquired Tampa, Fla.-based Advocate Medical Services, which provides catheters, incontinence and ostomy products in Florida and Texas.

According to a release, Advocate's core product line is intermittent catheters, and the company primarily serves neurogenic bladder patients who often suffer from spinal cord injuries or neural tube defects, and who have a lifelong need for catheters and related medical supplies. The product line will complement ActivStyle's strength in incontinence products while providing access to new patients and geographies, the release said.

The Advocate transaction is private equity firm Riverside's 41st overall health care acquisition.
