The University awarded a contract for ureteroscopy ballons, catheters, & coils.
CR Bard surgical supplies consist of catheters, balloons, and coils used in ureteroscopy. Ureteroscopy is an examination of the upper urinary tract, usually performed with a ureteroscope that is passed through the urethra and the bladder, and then directly into the ureter.
This purchase is exempt from the usual selection processes of the Procurement Code because the procurement expenditure is for medical supplies or medical services necessary for the delivery of care and treatment at medical, dental, or veterinary teaching facilities utilized by SIU or U of I (30 ILCS 500 / 1-13(b-5)) CR Bard surgical supplies have to do with direct patient treatment and care. Without access to these specific supplies the hospital would not be able to offer ureteroscopy that in turn would drive patients else where and result in a loss of revenue to the Hospital.
