Loaner Kit Processing
Life Science Outsourcing offers full loaner kit inspection, cleaning, kitting, warehousing, and distribution to maximize ROI and attain faster turnaround times.
Loaner Kit Processing Expertise
For an original equipment manufacturer, loaner kit processing is an unavoidable and burdensome activity which diverts critical resources away from core processes. Outsourcing the process guarantees consistent quality and considerable cost savings on labor, processing, inventory, distribution, and time.
In addition to Kit Processing, Life Science Outsourcing offers loaner program management for clients.

Comprehensive Solutions
Kits are cleaned and inspected against current versions of product drawings provided by the OEM. Approved kits are then replenished, reboxed, relabeled, warehoused, and distributed the next day, which maximizes the number of surgeries for devices. Recycling these instruments doesn’t just reduce investment in inventory and duplicative expenditures, but it also enhances the efficiency of sales professionals and the sales process.
