Medline launches spay/neuter surgical packs for animal health market
Medline Industries (NASDAQ: MDLN) announced the availability of custom spay/neuter surgical packs designed for animal shelters, humane societies, high-volume spay and neuter clinics, and veterinary practices. The packs consolidate commonly used surgical supplies into ready-to-use solutions aimed at simplifying procedure setup and increasing efficiency.
The company developed these packs as an extension of its sterile procedure tray capabilities into the animal health market. According to the press release, millions of pets are spayed and neutered annually in the United States, and organized surgery packs can group essential, sterile instruments for immediate use.
"Every veterinary practice operates differently, and efficiency matters," said Yogesh Wadhera, group general manager for Medline's sterile procedure tray division. "Medline's spay/neuter packs represent our commitment to extending our sterile procedure tray capabilities into the animal health market, responding directly to customer unmet needs."
The Pensacola Humane Society, a no-kill shelter serving Florida's Gulf Coast, recently implemented the custom packs as part of efforts to scale its surgical program. Blake White, CEO of the Pensacola Humane Society, said the packs helped save staff time and increase the number of procedures the organization could perform.
"When we restarted surgeries, we needed a more efficient approach," White stated. "Using Medline's customized surgical packs helped us save valuable staff time, simplify our process and ultimately increase the number of procedures we could perform for our community."
Medline describes itself as the largest provider of medical-surgical products and supply chain solutions. The Northfield, Illinois-based company employs more than 45,000 people worldwide and operates in more than 100 countries.
