April 12, 2024- Cook Medical has been awarded an ECAT contract with the United States Department of Defense for implantable medical devices. This contract is one way Cook is being recognized for the ways we are changing to treat more patients, and we look forward to supporting those who serve our country.
The contract includes implantable vascular medical devices, such as the Zilver® PTX® Drug-Eluting Peripheral Stent, Zenith® aortic endografts, and associated interventional devices to treat patients with vascular disease. The contract will streamline the process for the Department of Defense to obtain these products so they can more quickly treat military service members. The contract is for one year with four one-year extension options.
Cook has been innovating the way we work with our customers. As we form more contracts, customers gain a simplified procurement process and are able to treat more patients faster. In October 2023, Cook won a third contract with the US Department of Veterans Affairs. That contact was also for implantable devices, and it has streamlined the supply chain process.
