MediPlus Advanced Wound Care Products Now Available for Distribution

Oct. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- ATLANTA – MediPurpose®, a master distributor and manufacturer of medical products, today announced that inventory for its new MediPlus™ Advanced Wound Care Products is now available for immediate distribution.

Additionally, MediPurpose last month announced that it received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for its silver foam wound dressings, which are expected to be available later this year.

With the escalating costs of healthcare and reduced reimbursement, medical product suppliers and distributors are under increasing pressure to reduce pricing, said MediPurpose Director of Wound Care Michael Riddle. MediPurpose established the price point for MediPlus to provide its wound care product customers with the opportunity to remain competitive and grow their business in today's formidable economic environment.

“Our ability to provide cost-effective wound care solutions is an integral part of MediPurpose’s value proposition,” said Riddle. “With our recent 510(k) clearance for silver foam dressings, we can now supply a range of antibacterial dressings at prices that will allow healthcare professionals to offer these beneficial products to a larger population of patients.”

Along with the advantages of competitive pricing, Riddle said MediPlus enables wound care product distributors to:

• Reduce inventory levels
• Improve profit margins
• Increase market share
• Access new products being sourced through MediPurpose’s New Business Development (NBD) initiatives

MediPlus enjoyed two successful debuts earlier this year at the 24th Annual Symposium on Advanced Wound Care and at the 43rd Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurse Society Conference (WOCN).

“We have been very pleased with the number of positive comments we’ve received about the breadth of our advanced wound care product portfolio, its competitive nature and the acknowledgement that our value-based pricing should position us for success in today’s cost-conscious environment,” said Riddle.
