I’m curious how accurate this reporting actually is. It seems to focus almost exclusively on smaller producers, but what about the larger ones? As I understand it, most hospitals use PPE from larger suppliers like 3M or Halyard for logistical reasons and face logistical hurdles in sourcing things like N95 respirators from smaller manufacturers, as they’d need to re-do certification for users. Is this really a place where the startup model makes sense?
