Reduce PAR Levels, Waste, and Freight

Inventory management, especially for wound closures, can be challenging, time-consuming, and highly variable, resulting in wasted inventory and high costs. For more than 45 years, PANDAC has helped customers control purchases and eliminate excess wound closure inventory while maintaining supply levels. PANDAC includes dedicated on-site service, in-depth reporting and integration with materials management, business reviews and the ability to expand management to other product categories.

PANDAC takes the stress out of managing your sutures and endo-mechanical supply

Using PANDAC, hospital administrators immediately gain access to all the information they need to check wound closure inventory status. These same reports enable Owens & Minor to make recommendations for controlling inventory costs and saving money in the OR Setting.

Simplified Process
With easy product returns, reduced obsolete inventory, and detailed data analytics, end-to-end supply management remains simple and stress-free.
Focus Soley on Patient Care
Spend more time focused on patient care and less on inventory and supply chain activities.
Supply Chain Efficiency
PANDAC provides a reduction in PAR levels, obsolete inventory, and freight- creating less supply chain tasks to manage.

Tapping into patented technology to routinely monitor purchases and utilization, adjust stocking levels, and provide continuous reporting on all aspects of purchasing and inventory, one of our on-site experts manages the suture inventory in primary stocking locations within each department.

PANDAC helps customers reduce waste and reduce PAR levels resulting in valuable savings.
Suture and Endo-Mechanical Management
Owens & Minor will manage every facet- from ordering to maintaining inventory to providing comprehensive reports.
Regular Business Reviews

Dedicated On-Site Resource
With PANDAC, we will place an Owens & Minor teammate on-site to manage wound closure and other high-value supplies in each department-stocking location.
