Innovative Collaboration to Enhance Veteran Care
On July 24, 2025, BRIJ Medical, Inc., a pioneer in medical devices for surgical closure and healing, alongside Red One Medical, LLC, announced that their remarkable product, Brijjit® (BP-100 and BP-75), is now available through the ECAT (Electronic Catalog). This ECAT listing represents a significant leap forward, allowing healthcare providers within the Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD) systems to procure an advanced tension-offloading tissue bridge designed to improve surgical closure outcomes effectively.
Tim Gleeson, CEO of BRIJ Medical, expressed great pride in this accomplishment: "This ECAT position underscores our joint dedication to advancing veteran and servicemember care. Partnering with Red One Medical ensures that Brijjit is not only clinically effective but also procurement-ready for federal healthcare providers."
Brijjit®: A Game Changer in Surgical Closure
Brijjit® stands out in the realm of medical devices due to its design that promotes superior healing for patients. This innovative tissue bridge not only aids in incision closure but also provides vital wound support and scar therapy. Supported by extensive clinical evidence, Brijjit® has been shown to reduce wound breakdown by an impressive 90% while also resulting in 38% smaller scars compared with traditional methods. This is particularly advantageous for surgeons looking to enhance patient outcomes without the challenges associated with traditional suturing or stapling methods.
By facilitating a faster, non-invasive closure technique, Brijjit® can offer breathable protection for wounds without necessitating a final layer of sutures or staples. This effective method allows for quicker recovery times, vastly improving the patient’s overall experience during the healing process.
Facilitating Access to Innovations for Veterans
In addition to embracing cutting-edge technology, this partnership between BRIJ Medical and Red One Medical demonstrates the strength of collaboration between private companies and veteran-owned businesses. Red One Medical, a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), plays a crucial role in connecting advanced medical solutions with the healthcare needs of veterans. Jonathan West, EVP of Sales at Red One Medical, stated, "We're honored to facilitate BRIJ Medical's innovative wound-healing solution through ECAT. This partnership exemplifies how SDVOSBs can efficiently deliver top-tier care technologies to VA and DoD markets."
Key Benefits of ECAT Listing
The ECAT listing opens up a direct channel for VA and DoD procurement teams, enabling them to access Brijjit® promptly and efficiently. Some of the highlighted benefits include:
- - Instant Access: As a result of this partnership, procurement teams now have immediate access to Brijjit® through the ECAT, streamlining the acquisition process.
- - Certified Procurement: The SDVOSB-certified status allows federal buyers to procure this essential device while supporting veteran-owned businesses.
- - Strong Clinical Data: Brijjit® is backed by solid clinical data that not only emphasizes its effectiveness but also its compatibility with existing federal procurement processes.
