Subcutaneous emphysema. Subcutaneous emphysema occurs when air gets into tissues under the skin. This most often occurs in the skin covering the chest wall or neck, but can also occur in other parts of the body. Subcutaneous emphysema can often be seen as a smooth bulging of the skin. When a health care provider feels (palpates) the skin, it produces an unusual crackling sensation as the gas is pushed through the tissue.
The acquisition is expected to close in Q4 2015, subject to obtaining regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Following the acquisition, the Shred-it management team will join Stericycle.
The closure will not be in any new markets. It will be in low volume, under performing stores, many of which are acquisitions.. The stores will close during the first quarter of 2002. CVS also will close one of two mail-order facilities in Columbus, Ohio. The restructuring is expected to result in the loss of 300 to 400 jobs. On a more positive note, by the end of 2002, the company expects to have 22 to 25 stores in Florida.
