MYCO Medical

What MYCO Medical does

MYCO Medical Supplies, Inc. is a privately held US medical device distributor founded in 1993 by Sam Kumar as the American distribution arm of his family's India-based medical supply business. Headquartered in Apex, North Carolina, the company functions as the exclusive US sales and distribution agent for 17 offshore manufacturing partners, marketing five product families — Blades & Scalpels, Blood Collection, Needles & Syringes, Sharps Safety, and Wound Closure — under proprietary brands including RELI, GLASSVAN, TECHNOCUT, REDI-CUT, WEALY, and a full REDI-named suture portfolio. The product portfolio is centered on safety-engineered single-use devices designed to mitigate needlestick injuries and meet OSHA compliance, with technical differentiators such as push-button safety activation, retractable needle mechanisms, EZ-Flash vein-entry visualization, and siliconized three-facet bevel needle manufacturing.

The company operates a three-channel go-to-market: direct enterprise field sales, GPO/contract sales through HealthTrust and Vizient member agreements, and distribution through a network of 200+ regional and national distributors that includes McKesson, Concordance, Owens & Minor, Henry Schein, and NDC. End-customers are primarily US hospitals, integrated health systems, and clinics in acute, non-acute, and ambulatory care settings, with a secondary veterinary care vertical. MYCO generates revenue through hardware sales of these disposable medical devices using a quote-based pricing model and is certified as a Minority Owned Small Business (NMSDC, CMSDC, SBA), which provides differentiated access to supplier diversity procurement programs across major GPOs and health systems.

BD is the dominant incumbent competing for the same hospital and IDN contracts that MYCO services through GPOs.
• B. Braun Medical: B. Braun is a major medical device manufacturer with overlapping portfolios in hypodermic needles, syringes, spinal/epidural needles, sutures, and IV catheters. B.
