Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update
Due to the coronavirus outbreak worldwide, global demand for some personal protective equipment (PPE) is outstripping supply. In addition, manufacturing of PPE and many other wound care, respiratory and infection prevention products have been impacted by global response to coronavirus. While you may see product availability reduction in the near-term, please be assured Medline continues to work to diversify production and provide your supply needs. As always, please reach out to your Medline sales representative with any specific questions or follow up.
