How to Choose Bandages
Bandages are single-use or limited-use wound care consumables that function as primary dressings (direct wound contact), secondary dressings (securement/compression), or combination systems for exudate management, infection barrier, and tissue protection. Hospital supply chain managers, ambulatory surgery center (ASC) administrators, clinic purchasing officers, and long-term care procurement teams are the primary buyers, with purchasing driven by procedure volume, patient acuity mix (acute surgical vs. chronic wound), and formulary standardization goals. Purchasing events are triggered by GPO contract renewals, formulary reviews, new service line launches (e.g., wound care clinic, home health discharge protocols), and infection control policy changes.
