MAP Medical Teams Up with Metrix-Secure to Revolutionize Healthcare Supply Chains

In a strategic move that aims to reshape the landscape of medical supply distribution, MAP Medical announced its partnership with Metrix-Secure, an industry leader known for its cutting-edge IV delivery systems. This collaboration allows MAP Medical to serve as an officially authorized distributor for Metrix-Secure, enhancing their commitment to providing hospitals, acute care facilities, and educational research labs with reliable and adaptable medical supply solutions.

Both organizations share a vision of addressing the pressing needs of healthcare providers, especially in today’s fast-paced and challenging clinical environments. Metrix-Secure is renowned for its innovative approach in creating safe and modular designs, particularly in the realm of IV systems, making them essential in hospitals across the nation.

The heart of this collaboration is Metrix-Secure's exceptional Secure™ Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) product line. TPN is utilized when patients are unable to meet their nutritional needs through conventional means due to digestive issues or other health-related complications. By delivering vital nutrients directly into the bloodstream via IV, TPN ensures patients receive essential proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals necessary for recovery. This product line includes diverse options such as single and dual chamber bags tailored to different patient needs, all without compromising on quality or cost-effectiveness, maintaining Metrix-Secure's 20-year reputation in this sector.

The partnership comes at a crucial time, as evidenced by MAP Medical’s ability to adapt during previous supply shortages experienced in the medical field. For instance, during the aftermath of Hurricane Florence in 2018 and the challenges posed by Hurricane Helen in 2024, Metrix-Secure demonstrated remarkable efficiency and resilience.

Kelton Lewis, Managing Partner at MAP Medical, noted, “Partnering with Metrix-Secure allows us to offer our customers excellent quality, but also much-needed consistency. Hospitals depend on lead times, reliability, and responsive support when sourcing critical items like IV bags, ensuring that procedures carry on without interruption.”

With this partnership, MAP Medical now extends access to a comprehensive array of fluid management products. This suite includes not only IV bags in various sizes but also fluid transfer sets and devices optimized for hospital use and compounding pharmacies under the 503A and 503B regulations. The emphasis on safety and flexibility in Metrix-Secure’s design further supports hospitals in streamlining their procurement processes, reducing SKU fatigue and ensuring modular functionality.

MAP Medical is distinguished by its customer-first approach, proving itself as a strategic partner capable of navigating the complexities of healthcare procurement. Their comprehensive catalog contains over 500,000 products from 3,000 manufacturers, ensuring hospitals are equipped with high-quality supplies tailored to meet their unique operational requirements and budget constraints. Fast delivery and stellar customer service are bolstered by a commitment to clear communication and transparency.

As the medical supply landscape remains turbulent, this distribution agreement marks a significant expansion for MAP Medical, reinforcing its position as a key player in the healthcare supply chain. By aligning with a trusted manufacturer like Metrix-Secure, MAP Medical is poised to enhance not only product availability but also the speed of delivery, ensuring healthcare providers can maintain their operational efficacy under any circumstances.
