As winter gears up, people are taking extra care to stay healthy. Morrison Medical has responded to that need by expanding PPE inventory to include face shields, face masks, gowns, gloves, disinfectant wipes and of course, their famous custom kits that combine specialty PPE into convenient single-use packs.
“In our 50 years in business, PPE has been a small part of our offerings, but due to high demand, we’ve expanded to provide more of the items people are looking for,” said Kevin Jeffers, managing partner of Morrison Medical.
In addition to the standard three-ply facial coverings, Morrison Medical has developed fog-free face shielding that can be worn with our without a mask, depending upon the need. The company also offers different types of disposable gowns for medical, first responder or other safety uses. They can also directly source other PPE items as needed using their established distribution channels.
“Part of the appeal of working with us is that you’re getting factory-direct pricing and the peace of mind that comes from a company with 50 years in business and an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau,” said Jeffers. “There are a lot of newcomers to the PPE market but none with the long-term legacy of Morrison Medical,” he said.
Morrison Medical expects to continue to stock PPE materials and add additional items throughout 2021 and beyond.
