While the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) demand has somewhat steadied in recent months, it doesn’t mean to let down the needed attentiveness against the unexpected. PPE and COVID-19 supplies will be top of mind for quite some time. 

Health Care Logistics (HCL) has been the one-stop shop for PPE and pandemic-related supplies. Health systems and pharmacies can still find everything they need, including those hard-to-find products on HCL’s Pandemic Response page.

The page also offers ideas of how HCL supplies can minimize risk. Here’s a sample of top tips:

• Avoid the risk of virus shed from patients demonstrating COVID-19 symptoms by storing their personal items in colored zipper bags while awaiting testing.

• Adjustable plastic bands relieve the tension and irritation caused by elastic straps that rub behind the ears after prolonged face mask use.

• Follow supply decontamination transport guidelines and use hinged lid transfer boxes, security seals, and self-adhesive pockets to identify and protect contents during the process.

HCL stocks more than 8,000 products from 22 unique lines.
