Medline has made several moves in recent weeks, including hospital partnerships and a product recall.
Silver City, N.M.-based Gila Regional Medical Center, a 25-bed critical access hospital, signed a multi-year prime vendor agreement with Medline. The partnership grants the hospital and its 11 outpatient clinics access to Medline’s portfolio of medical supplies and equipment. The hospital also plans to rely on Medline for almost all of its environmental product needs.
Chico, Calif.-based Enloe Health reached a multi-year agreement designating Medline as its primary vendor for medical-surgical supplies. As part of the partnership, Medline will provide logistics and analytics support to help the health system with supply chain efficiency.
Medline issued a correction related to multiple craniotomy kits following reports of devices disassembling after use. The correction includes kits containing 14 mm Codman disposable perforators manufactured by Integra LifeSciences. Complications could include tearing of the dura, bleeding, permanent brain damage or death.
