The University awarded a contract for MitraClip.
MitraClip is a mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair therapy devise that delivers a minimally invasive treatment option for select patients with primary or secondary mitral regurgitation who would otherwise go untreated.
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)) Without access to these medical supplies the Hospital would not be able to offer this type of surgical procedure that in turn would drive patients else where and result in a loss of revenue to the Hospital.
