Busse Hospital Disposables

What Busse Hospital Disposables does

Busse Hospital Disposables is a privately held U.S. medical device manufacturer founded in 1970 and headquartered in Hauppauge, New York. The company designs, produces, and distributes over 200 standard single-use medical disposable products — including epidural and spinal needles (EpiGlide, Titan), LOR syringes, procedural kits and trays (I.V. start kits, suture removal, angiogram, amniocentesis, hysteroscopy), suction and irrigation products, protective apparel (masks, gowns, face shields), and labor & delivery instruments — sold primarily to acute care hospitals and healthcare systems across the United States. Proprietary branded product lines (EpiGlide, SUTURE-GLIDE, Saf-Shield, Posi-Grip, SoftWear, Ster-L-Unit, AMNIOPERF) carry trademark differentiation in specific clinical niches.

The company's operations are built on in-house capabilities spanning injection molding (30+ years experience), thermoforming, radio frequency assembly, sterile packaging, and ETO sterilization. The latter is operated through its wholly-owned Long Island Sterilization (LIS) subsidiary, established in 2001, which also provides ETO sterilization, validation, bioburden, pyrogen, and shelf-life testing to third-party medical device companies. Busse additionally offers OEM contract manufacturing, custom procedural kits and trays, private label products, and U.S./Canadian medical device regulatory services, positioning it as a vertically integrated single-source partner rather than a pure catalog manufacturer.

Revenue is generated through three channels: (1) direct and distributor-led sales of branded and standard medical disposables to hospitals, (2) OEM/private label contract manufacturing for other medical device companies, and (3) sterilization and testing services via LIS to external clients. The company maintains a nationwide distribution network, GPO contract relationships, a direct national accounts sales force, and online ordering. It is FDA registered and holds ISO 13485 certification. The company employs 251-500 people and is family/management owned with no disclosed external private equity or venture backing.
