Vermed Awarded New Agreement with Premier Healthcare Alliance

BELLOWS FALLS, VT — Vermed, Inc., manufacturer of quality cardiac monitoring and diagnostic electrodes, is newly contracted with the Premier healthcare alliance for distribution of its ECG electrodes, Defibrillation electrodes, Leadwire and Cables.

“We’re pleased with this agreement which provides Premier members access to our special pricing and terms on our specialty electrodes,” said Kristina Utton, vice president of US Sales for Vermed. “This includes our TenderTrode Plus line, which saves nursing time and resources with fewer electrode changes, along with cost savings.”

Designed for specific needs of the NICU, Tender-Trode Plus electrodes are made with a hydrocolloid barrier that protects the hydrogel from high humidity of the incubator. With an extended wear time of 6 days, they feature a gentle, hypoallergenic cloth and adhesives. Tender-Trode Plus electrodes are radiolucent and ensure patient comfort and quality tracings, and also are available as a Mini Prewired ECG Sensor.
