The University awarded a contract for tissue expanders and breast implants..
Mentor implants are used in plastics reconstructive surgical cases.
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)) Mentor implants are used in direct patient care and without the mentor implants, the University of Illinois hospital would not be able to offer certain reconstructive surgeries that in turn would drive patients elsewhere and result in a loss of revenue to the hospital.
