eSutures.com has been proudly serving the medical
industry for over 18 years. Anthony Iaderosa, President
and Founder, tells the company's unique story below:
What is eSutures.com? eSutures.com is discount
reseller of excess inventory in the surgical device
marketplace. We purchase excess supply from
hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, dealers – any
facility that has product that they aren't using and
don't intend to use, and we sell that inventory where it
is needed.
How did eSutures.com start? Upon graduating
college, I found a job selling suture and wound care
products to hospitals and ASCs. Over the course of six
years, I realized that there was a lot of inventory that
was sitting on shelves going unused. Facilities were
either throwing inventory away or paying to have it
destroyed. I thought there had to be a way for facilities
to not only get rid of excess inventory, but also add to
their revenue stream while providing opportunities for
cost-conscious facilities to acquire inventory at
discounted prices. So, we starting buying large
amounts of inventory from hospitals and surgery
centers, warehousing it, and selling it back to other
hospitals and surgery centers that were in need of
those very same items. And that's how eSutures
started in 2000.
What void in the marketplace does eSutures serve?
eSutures originally set out to provide a lower cost on
the surgical items and small devices to cost-conscious
facilities. As the business grew, we noticed that
facilities were looking for items in less than full selling
units (single suture packets vs full boxes) for rare
procedures, and weren't interested in having that
product sit on their shelves. So, they started using us
for just-in-time ordering. Facilities could become much
more efficient by ordering just what items they needed
to be delivered just when they needed them—which
didn't leave any money sitting on their shelves.
What services do you provide to customers? We
maintain an enormous inventory – we have almost
65,000 unique line items in stock from over 50
different manufacturers. The infrastructure we have in
place allows us to be very nimble and get orders to
customers as early as the next day. ASCs and
physician's offices are not able to hold a lot of inventory
on their shelves, therefore our just-in-time capability
is very efficient for them.
Same-day shipping is a huge benefit for customers,
and is something that sets us apart from the industry
distribution channel. Typically, an ASC would have to
let their dealer know that they intend to buy a
particular product and that dealer would have to keep
that product on their shelves until needed, which isn't
always possible. Additionally, some products are
special order items and can take up to 2 weeks to
receive. The benefit to ordering from eSutures is that
we have the item in stock, and we can have it to you
as soon as the next day.
There is no lengthy process to set up an account, no
minimum order requirements and no contracts. Simply
order what you need from us, when you want it.
