Cork Medical, LLC, an Indianapolis-based medical device manufacturer, announced last month that it has been chosen by HPS, a group purchasing organization (GPO), as its sole provider of negative pressure wound therapy systems.
HPS, a GPO based in Middleville, Mich., negotiates pricing with vendors and manufacturers for multiple types of products their members need with the goal of reducing cost. HPS is the GPO for 4,000 organizations in 22 states.
Cork Medical, focused on the prevention and treatment of wounds, manufactures the Nisus® Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy has come to be regarded as one of the optimal treatment methods when treating chronic, acute and traumatic wounds, and pressure, diabetic and venous ulcers. Use of negative pressure not only shortens the healing time, which reduces cost, but often is the only therapy that heals wounds.
The Nisus® Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System provides gentle powered suction to treat and promote wound healing by aiding in the removal of excess fluid, infectious material and tissue debris. The Nisus device is powerful yet portable, allowing patients to achieve results while still maintaining mobility.
Benjamin Long, Contract Portfolio Analyst for HPS, said, “HPS is proud to offer Cork Medical’s Nisus negative pressure system to our members. The exceptional pricing available through this contract, coupled with Cork Medical’s infrastructure of service centers throughout our member base, is a winning combination.”
