PPE and Gloves Buying Guide for Clinics
Share
PPE purchasing should be simple, standardized, and usage-driven
Gloves, masks, and PPE are high-velocity supplies. Clinics should compare comfort, barrier needs, sizing, box count, use case, storage space, and substitution tolerance before choosing preferred items.
What to compare
- Nitrile, latex-free, and material preference
- Size mix and monthly burn rate
- Mask level or respirator use case
- Packaging, case count, and storage space
- Products that should not be substituted without approval
For multi-location practices, PPE works best with a short approved list and par levels by location.
