The Changing Landscape of Medical Device Logistics:
Medical devices, ranging from implants to diagnostic machines and consumables, are impacting patient lives significantly. Ensuring the availability of these products, where and when needed while managing adequate inventory levels, obsolescence, and returns effectively, presents a complex challenge.

By utilizing regional distribution centers and forward stocking locations, including micro-FSLs within hospitals, PISPL ensures the availability of medical devices at the point of use without overstocking or stockouts. This approach optimizes inventory and reduces holding costs, providing a reliable supply chain for critical medical devices.
