Moultonborough, NH /PRNewswire/ - Bearpac Medical, LLC has been awarded a national group purchasing agreement for Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Accessories with Premier, Inc. Effective today, the new agreement allows Premier members, at their discretion, to take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for the Passio™ Pump Drainage System.

"Bearpac is honored to be awarded this contract with Premier, Inc.," said Jay Zimmerman, President of Bearpac Medical. "We look forward to working with Premier to offer their members the next generation of pleural drainage therapy. Passio was designed to be intuitive, providing patients with the confidence to control their therapy in the comfort of their own homes.
