Healthium Medtech, based in Bengaluru, has announced that it has strengthened its operations to fast track delivery of essential medical devices as the country fights the ongoing battle against COVID-19. Healthium has scaled its production, extended its supply chain and fast-tracked the deliveries of essential medical devices and consumables to support healthcare frontline workers.

To ensure adequate supply of medical devices for healthcare practitioners, the company is running its plants during lockdown with due permissions and pre-cautionary measures. The company has also expanded supply chain by 40 per cent to fast track critical deliveries.

Considering the surge in demand for gloves at hospitals across the country, the company has utilised multiple production lines, and also stepped up production of first of its kind anti-microbial gloves TRUSHIELD, that protects both surgeons and patients against microbes. A significant production of gloves have been earmarked for government hospitals.

The company has also provisioned for up to two months of stock of critical products codes for emergency surgeries like cardio-vascular surgeries and OB-GYN led surgeries, which continue despite the pandemic.
