Based on its broad-ranging overall product range, the German trading and consulting company KAGER has compiled a specific product catalog for medical technology, hospital operations, and pharmaceutical logistics. Under the title Kager-Medical-Line (KML), buyers and procurement specialists in these industries will find a wide selection of useful products and tools for temperature and limit monitoring, supply chain and packaging control, as well as laboratory and cleanroom work.

Fine-tuned to numerous standard and specialized applications in medical technology, pharmaceutical logistics, hospital daily operations, and laboratory work, the product spectrum of the new Kager-Medical-Line (KML) is designed accordingly. The range, assembled by experts from the German trading and consulting company KAGER, explicitly targets buyers and procurement specialists of medicines and remedies, as well as quality officers in healthcare, hospital management, and medication logistics. All of them will find in the offerings of the new Kager-Medical-Line easy-to-use products, tools, and accessories for supply chain control, temperature monitoring, and laboratory and cleanroom equipment. "With the product selection of our Medical-Line, we cover many requirements and tasks that arise in quality assurance, traceability, documentation obligations, loss reduction, and compliance with legal regulations and EU directives," says Claudia Berck, managing owner of KAGER.

A catalog full of solutions

All products of the Kager-Medical-Line are categorized and clearly presented in an almost 50-page catalog, also available for free PDF download on the company's website. For the field of supply chain and transport control, it features a variety of reversible and irreversible test strips and points for monitoring temperature progressions and limits. Depending on the variant, these include freeze or heat indicators that detect different temperature ranges, durations, and sometimes delayed activation. Customers can choose between ColdMark® or FreezeSafe™ indicators for low temperatures, HemoTemp indicators for validating blood bags, indicators for drug testing or disinfection, as well as warning stickers for hazardous hot surfaces — to name just a few examples. All are self-adhesive measurement and test labels that can be applied directly to packaging, containers, or products, offering a cost-effective alternative to complex equipment. They help determine whether temperature values in medication transports were maintained, whether the necessary temperature for safe sterilization was reached, whether a blood product was stored too warm, and much more. Since the selection of test strips and points covers a wide range of applications, users can also consult a KAGER advisor during their search. "This ensures that the right choice is made and that a indicator performs its task optimally," says Claudia Berck.

Growth-oriented

In addition to the extensive measuring tools program, the Kager-Medical-Line offers a range of useful tools and accessories for use in laboratories and cleanrooms. For example, users will find gas-powered soldering burners for heating samples or similar items, slip-resistant films for securing pipettes or Petri dishes, and dust collection mats for cleanroom doors.

Just like KAGER's overall program, the range of the Kager-Medical-Line is not static but continuously evolving. "We are constantly exploring markets for new, innovative specialty products and expanding our product spectrum. This will also be reflected in a continuously growing offering for medical technology, pharmaceutical logistics, and healthcare," reports Claudia Berck.
