Recon Technology Partners with Access Vascular to Enhance Vascular Access for Federal Healthcare

Innovative Partnership Enhances Vascular Access for Federal Healthcare Beneficiaries

Access Vascular, Inc. (AVI) has formed a pivotal partnership with Recon Supply by integrating its advanced MIMIX® technology vascular access catheters into Recon Supply’s Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract. This collaboration is set to revolutionize vascular access for federal healthcare beneficiaries, particularly veterans and active-duty military personnel. The introduction of the HydroPICC® and HydroMID® catheters, both of which hold FDA clearance, addresses critical complications associated with vascular access, such as thrombosis, occlusions, and catheter-related failures. These challenges often lead to costly treatments and prolonged recovery times, making this partnership crucial for improving patient outcomes.

The HydroPICC® and HydroMID® catheters stand out with a remarkable 99.99% reduction in bacterial adhesion compared to standard polyurethane catheters. Furthermore, they report six times fewer catheter failures, thereby significantly enhancing patient safety and comfort. James Biggins, CEO of Access Vascular, underlines the company’s commitment to improving vascular access outcomes and expresses pride in collaborating with Recon Supply. This partnership not only aims to reduce the typical 25% complication rate associated with vascular access devices but also works to ensure that military personnel receive the highest quality of care available.

Steve Clark, CEO of Recon Supply, emphasizes the importance of incorporating advanced medical technologies into the federal healthcare framework. This partnership allows federal agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense, to procure AVI’s state-of-the-art catheters at negotiated prices, streamlining the procurement process while enhancing patient care. The focus on utilizing hydrophilic materials that mimic the body’s natural chemistry reduces the foreign body response, which is often the cause of complications. This innovative approach not only elevates the standard of care for those who serve but also exemplifies a sustainable model for future medical advancements in federal healthcare.

In addition to improving vascular access, this collaboration signifies a commitment to addressing broader healthcare challenges within the military community. By prioritizing patient-centered solutions, Access Vascular and Recon Supply position themselves as leaders in the medical technology sector, particularly in the realm of vascular care.

As federal agencies begin to adopt these advanced catheter technologies, both companies are poised to make a lasting impact on the healthcare landscape for veterans and active-duty personnel, ultimately striving for optimal health outcomes and enhanced quality of life.
