B. Braun launches program to boost supply chain resiliency
Stacy Wescoe//December 15, 2025//
Bethlehem’s B. Braun Medical Inc. on Monday announced the launch of a Supply Assurance Program, an initiative which it said is designed to reinforce supply chain resiliency and protect patient care from disruption in the medical device and pharmaceutical sectors.
The program guarantees 45 Days Inventory on Hand at key distributor warehouse locations.
That number nearly doubles the normal 24 to 28 Days Inventory on Hand while maintaining safety stock across B. Braun’s three U.S. warehouses.
By placing inventory closer to the point of care, B. Braun is hoping to help health care providers access the products they need without additional costs.
The program comprises B. Braun’s full product portfolio, including the complete line of products such as IV solutions, irrigation and nutrition containers, Vascular Access, Pain Control, IV Sets & Accessories and Closed System Transfer Devices.
The company said by having inventory positioned strategically with distribution partners closer to customers it will mitigate supply-demand imbalances.
“To address supply and demand uncertainty, B. Braun is working closely with our key distributor partners to finalize agreements that position additional inventory in the forward supply chain. This proactive approach ensures healthcare providers have the products they need—precisely when they need them,” said Tim Cokkinias, corporate vice president for distribution sales & operations at B. Braun.
