[vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1644791540857{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”]January 11th, 2022 – Surface Medical Inc. is pleased to announce that it has joined with Columbia Basin Biomedical to provide soft surface assessment and repair services to healthcare facilities in the United States. The assessment and repair of patient treatment surfaces such as mattresses and operating tables will enable Columbia Basin Biomedical to significantly extend the lifetime of clinical equipment, and thus expand their offerings to service areas in Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon.
Columbia Basin Biomedical provides a quality service at a fair cost to clients who are unable to have their own biomed or have limited access to those services. Doctor’s offices, outpatient surgery centers, clinics and critical access hospitals will benefit most as there are limited options available for equipment repair and maintenance from qualified vendors. Michael McDaniel, the owner of Columbia Basin Biomedical, commented, “We were excited to learn that there is an easy repair solution that meets the requirements of The Joint Commission auditing process. We are already gaining traction with several hospitals and clinics interested in learning about soft surface repair.”
The President of Surface Medical, Iwain Lam, also commented, “Columbia Basin Biomedical aligns perfectly with our mission and values. By adding soft surface assessment and repair to their repertoire, this partnership will save healthcare facilities a fortune.”
