Medical Device 3PL: On-Time, Accurate, Cost-Efficient Logistics

When customers order your medical device products, they need faultless delivery on schedule. That’s because medical professionals may use your devices in operating rooms or in other life-enhancing—and even life-saving—ways. To successfully complete these orders, your business needs medical device 3PL (third party logistics) by a company that provides seamless fulfillment. Your business depends upon a 3PL logistic company that ensures product integrity every mile along the way, providing any specialized handling required and meeting short turnaround times.

NXTPoint is precisely that kind of medical device logistics company.

NXTPoint Solves 3PL Healthcare Logistics Challenges

A broad range of devices are used in modern medicine, coming in a significant range of types and sizes. When it’s time to ship some of them out of this large number of SKUs, we’ll smoothly locate those exact products out of our medical device warehouse, appropriately picking, packing, and transporting them. We also provide custom kitting and labeling, and we can operate at your in-house facilities as desired.

Plus, from the time devices are stored in our medical device warehouses through each portion of transportation, we’ll make sure that temperature-sensitive devices are kept in the optimal environment.

Then, there’s the regulatory environment. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the medical device industry, designating a device as Class I, Class II, or Class III. They classify them by the amount of effort it requires to keep them safe and fully operational. The NXTPoint team is knowledgeable about these distinctions, and our logistics firm is appropriately certified to manage and deliver the spectrum of devices.
