Delisting Unomedical (Convatec) Dressing and Wound Care (ICN 2039)

Change:

• The supplier Unomedical (Convatec) has informed us of a discontinuation with its range of Dressing and Wound care.
• There are 13 product codes affected.
• The supplier is discontinuing these products due to the supplier no longer manufacturing all products across the General Wound Care.

Impact:          

• The affected codes have been delisted from our online catalogue.
• Two product codes are available while stock lasts, once depleted the affected code will be delisted:
  • ELW038 – Dressing fixation device sterile – Epidural catheters
  • ELW072 – Dressing fixation device sterile – 9cm x 10cm for percutaneous catheters 5-14fg small.
• Potential indirect alternative products are available to order through our online catalogue.

Next Steps:

• If you have any further questions, please contact your local NHS Supply Chain Customer Services Advisor.

Please note that due to the clinical nature of these alternative products we advise you to consult your own clinical experts to ensure suitability for your organisations use of these products.
