Consider Reusables to Avoid Shortages

Throughout the pandemic, if your healthcare organization has felt the difficulty of the shortage of disposable OR gowns and PPE, consider working with us on incorporating a reusable solution.

A strategic supply chain solution, reusable products, including sterile wrappers, drapes, Level 3 OR gowns, Level 4 OR gowns, and Level 1 and 2 precaution gowns can play a critical role in creating a safe, sustainable perioperative environment for the long-term.
