NIGP 46574: Plastic or Reconstructive Surgery Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 46574 Plastic Or Reconstructive Surgery Equipment And Supplies, an Item code, encompasses specialized surgical extraction systems and related instrumentation used in acute-care hospital operating rooms. State and local governments purchase orthopedic hardware removal and extraction systems designed for safe retrieval of implants, screws, intramedullary nails, and related orthopedic hardware from patients during revision or corrective surgical procedures. Recent solicitations demonstrate that buyers require vendors to supply not only the extraction equipment itself but also delivery, technical support, case support, and retrieval of instrumentation on an as-needed service basis. Issuing bodies under this code include county public hospital systems and health care delivery networks operating acute-care facilities with active orthopedic surgical programs. San Mateo Medical Center, a public hospital and clinic system operated by the County of San Mateo and accredited by The Joint Commission, exemplifies the type of buyer active in this space.
