In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has become an indispensable resource for frontline workers and individuals alike. The surge in demand for PPE has highlighted the need for supplemental manufacturing and efficient supply chain management. Manufacturers and suppliers of PPE recognize the critical importance of kitting and packaging solutions to meet manufacturing and delivery demand.
The Significance of PPE Manufacturing
The rapid spread of COVID-19 led to a shortage of PPE worldwide, emphasizing the importance of having a robust manufacturing ecosystem. PPE manufacturers play a critical role in ensuring an uninterrupted supply of high-quality protective gear for healthcare professionals, essential workers, and the general public.
AHRMM-Approved U.S. PPE Manufacturers
The Association for Healthcare Resource & Materials Management (AHRMM) has compiled a list of AHRMM-approved U.S. PPE manufacturers. This resource provides an extensive directory of reliable manufacturers, ensuring that healthcare facilities can source PPE from trusted suppliers. The list serves as a valuable reference for organizations seeking to establish secure supply chains.
Manufacturing PPE: A Quick Guide to Production
It is critical to adhere to international quality standards and regulations during the production of PPE to ensure the effectiveness and safety of all equipment. PPE manufacturers need a well-defined production plan including sourcing of raw materials, establishing production lines, high-quality packaging, secondary packaging, and rigorous quality control measures. Partnering with an ISO9001:2015 registered secondary packaging provider helps manufacturers meet their production and delivery goals.
Tips for Manufacturing Quality-Compliant PPE
The European Pharmaceutical Review provides three essential tips for manufacturing quality-compliant PPE.
