The University awarded a contract for ortho fibular implants.
The orthopedic implants provided by Flower Ortho Corp are prescribed by orthopedic surgeons for critically ill patients, specifically in instances where standard implants risk being rejected by the patient.
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)) It's critical that Perioperative Services have access to these implants so as to ensure the best possible surgical outcome. Without these supplies, patients may choose to go elsewhere for treatment, and this could result in a loss of revenue for the hospital.
