New Compat Administration Sets from Nestle

Nestle continues to advance safety through innovation by introducing their new Compat® Administration Pump sets with the SpikeRight® PLUS Connector.   With this introduction Nestle has taken the lead, even amid delays by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), in offering an enteral feeding system that is incompatible with I.V. systems.

To date more than 270,000,000 units of the SpikeRight PLUS system have been sold worldwide with only one reported incident of tubing miss-connection.  To learn more about how Nestle can help you reduce the number of tubing miss-connects please watch the video below.  It not only presents facts and figures, but also gives you step-by-step instructions on how to use this innovative product.

 

As we’ve said before Grove is proud to partner with manufacturers who provide innovations to make our industry more efficient, safer and able to provide better care.  These are some of the same principles that we base our business on and we’d love to show you the Grove Medical difference.  Please contact us for more information on this product as well as the thousands of other products we represent.

Have a great day,

September Celebrations

This is a very special September for us.  Not only do we have the usual birthdays and anniversaries to celebrate, but we’re also gearing up for  Labor Day too.  Most importantly though Grove is celebrating Joan King, the longest tenured Grove Medical employee!

As you know we began as a Medicare Part B billing company in 1988 and over the years we’ve grown into a full-line medical supply distributor.  Joan King joined our Grove Medical family, as small as it was at the time, in 1992 and helped nurture us to become who we are today: a part of the medical supplies distribution chain that strives for perfection everyday, delivers on promises made and truly appreciates our business partnerships.  Words cannot describe what Joan has meant to Grove these last 19 years, she will always be a part of who we are!

With that said our co-worker and good friend has decided to say farewell and retire to her home town.  Although she’ll be missed she will not be forgotten.  Please join us in wishing Joan the best of luck in her new life and a happy and restful retirement!

As always here are the Grove Family birthdays and anniversaries for this month.  Help us celebrate by wishing them all a happy birthday or congratulations!

Birthdays!

Hurricane Irene Is On Her Way

If you haven’t heard by now the first hurricane of the 2011 season is on its way, and fast.

Hurricane Irene is heading towards the southeastern part of the country and the Hurricane Prep Center is urging us all, individuals and businesses, to get prepared and cover all our bases.  The Weather Channel also warns against complacency that may have been bred by the fact that only 4 hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S. since the destructive 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons.  Irene will be no different than any other hurricane, you cannot assume that it will make landfall elsewhere.

According to most reports we’ve read Irene should make landfall in south Florida early Friday morning and travel north reaching northern Florida early Saturday morning.

As your medical supply distribution partner we want to make sure that you have everything you need to be prepared and ready to care for your patients.  Please call, email or fax us ASAP to avoid any break downs in the supply chain and ensure that you have everything you need to provide the care your patients deserve.

Again we appreciate our partnerships and look forward to serving you!

New Skin Wellness System by Kendall

Our friends at Kendall, a part of Covidien, have introduced their new Skin Wellness System in an effort to be the complete partner in providing top notch care for your patients.  Kendall’s system is designed to cleanse, moisturize, protect and treat skin and when you use each of the products in the line you can very effectively care for damaged skin, especially damage caused by incontinence.

The products in Kendall’s Skin Wellness System contain jojoba oil, a natural extract from the seeds of the jojoba plant that very closely resembles the oils found in our skin.  This resemblance allows the jojoba oil to be easily absorbed into the skin and with repeated application the moisturizing and skin protection effects of the jojoba oil are maximized.

As mentioned before you’ll find in this program products to cleanse, moisturize, protect and treat skin.  There are two no rinse cleansing options (Body Wash and Shampoo and 2-in-1 Cleanser), three options for moisturizing (Moisturizing Lotion, Moisture Barrier Cream and Soothing Ointment), one option for protection (Antimicrobial Cleanser) and one for treatment (Antifungal Cream).

Grove is one of only a handful of distributors in the healthcare supply chain with access to Kendall’s new Skin Wellness line so give us a call, email or visit our website for more information, we’d love to help you!
