Strategic Partnership Between MAP Medical and Metrix-Secure
In an important development for the medical supply industry, MAP Medical has officially partnered with Metrix-Secure, one of the leading manufacturers in IV delivery systems. This collaboration aims to enhance the distribution of critical medical supplies to hospitals, acute care facilities, and educational research laboratories across the nation. Kelton Lewis, the Managing Partner at MAP Medical, emphasized this partnership’s significance in delivering reliable and flexible medical supply solutions amidst ongoing supply chain challenges.
Metrix-Secure's Industry Standing
Metrix-Secure has built a stellar reputation over the past 20 years, thanks to its dedication to performance, safety, and innovative designs in medical products. One of their flagship offerings is the Secure™ Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) line, which includes disposable IV bags and admixing products. TPN is vital for patients who cannot receive nutrition through traditional oral or enteral methods, delivering essential nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals directly into the bloodstream. This method ensures that individuals’ nutritional needs are met, making the ability to reliably source these products crucial for healthcare providers.
MAP Medical will now distribute Metrix-Secure's comprehensive collection of TPN products, which includes single-chamber bags, dual-chamber bags, and 2-port options. This strategic move enables MAP Medical to meet hospitals' and healthcare institutions' needs with unsurpassed quality and competitive pricing.
Response to Industry Challenges
The partnership has come at a time when the healthcare industry continues to face challenges in maintaining steady access to vital supplies. Recent events, such as Hurricane Florence's aftermath and the supply chain disruptions caused by Hurricane Helen in 2024, exposed vulnerabilities within the medical supply chain. During these critical times, Metrix-Secure's reputation for reliability and response readiness set it apart from competitors.
Lewis noted, "With our new partnership with Metrix-Secure, we are not only providing excellent quality to our customers, but also much-needed consistency in their procurement processes."
This commitment to maintaining lead times and reliability is essential as hospitals strive to perform procedures without interruption, which hinges on the availability of crucial items like IV bags.
Enhanced Product Availability
Under this new agreement, MAP Medical will gain access to Metrix-Secure’s entire range of fluid management products, which include:
- - IV bags in various volumes and configurations
- - Fluid transfer sets and devices
- - Sterile components tailored for hospital and compounding pharmacy needs (503A and 503B)
These products are designed for modular use, which significantly optimizes efficiency for procurement teams, helping reduce SKU fatigue—a frequent issue faced by healthcare providers in managing multiple supplies. This flexible approach is pivotal for ensuring that hospitals can easily navigate through periods of unpredictable demand and supply crises.
Customer-Centric Approach
In addition to providing high-quality products, MAP Medical is known for its customer-centric operational approach. The company has built a reputation for exceptional service, ensuring transparent communication and swift logistical support. This strategic partnership fortifies their standing as a go-to supply partner for healthcare institutions, particularly as medical product availability remains volatile due to ongoing global events.
Conclusion
As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, the collaboration between MAP Medical and Metrix-Secure signifies a proactive step toward addressing supply challenges faced by the industry. By leveraging Metrix-Secure's innovative product lineup and MAP Medical's commitment to customer service, both entities are poised to enhance the healthcare supply chain's reliability and responsiveness.
