What Medgluv does

Medgluv, Inc. is a privately held, minority-owned wholesale distributor of medical examination gloves and personal protective equipment (PPE) headquartered at 4100 Coral Ridge Drive, Suite 100, Coral Springs, Florida. Founded in 2001 by CEO Jerry Leong, the company specializes in sourcing and distributing a comprehensive portfolio of medical gloves—latex, nitrile, vinyl, and neoprene formulations—across non-sterile exam, sterile exam, and surgical categories, complemented by PPE supplies including procedure masks (NeuMask brand, ASTM Levels 1-3), AAMI-rated isolation gowns, shoe covers, bouffant caps, and disposable lab coats. Products are manufactured through a network of Asian suppliers and meet standards including ASTM D6978-05 (chemotherapy drug resistance), USP 800, NFPA 1999, NIOSH fentanyl testing, and ISO 9001:2015 quality management.

The company's go-to-market operates on a multi-channel distribution model anchored by major healthcare group purchasing organizations (GPOs)—Premier, HealthTrust Purchasing Group, and MedAssets Supply Chain Systems—and a network of authorized distributors including Cardinal Health, Owens & Minor, Medline Industries, NDC, Concordance Healthcare, Federated Healthcare Supply, American Medical Supplies & Equipment, and NeuProtect. This channel architecture provides Medgluv with access to approximately 2,300+ Premier hospitals, 1,000+ HealthTrust acute care facilities, and MedAssets' network of 2,500 hospitals and 30,000 non-acute care providers. The firm supplements GPO distribution with direct enterprise sales to hospitals and government healthcare facilities, supported by independent sales representatives and a dedicated toll-free sales line (866-MEDGLUV), plus regional field-sales contacts for North-East and West Coast divisions.

Medgluv's revenue model is the one-time sale of physical goods through these distribution channels, with contract economics reflecting negotiated GPO pricing and minority business enterprise (MBE) status advantages. Historical contract wins include a $455,685 sole-supplier agreement with North Broward Hospital District (2003), a $125,000 VA contract (2005), and recurring multi-year state contracts with Tennessee and North Carolina. The company holds 1-10 employees per firmographic data and has no disclosed funding, M&A activity, or parent company, maintaining independent operations across its 24-year history. Senior leadership consists of CEO Jerry Leong and Senior VP of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs Stephen G Webb. Recent strategic emphasis has been on expanding surgical and PPE product lines, maintaining ISO certification (renewed through 2025), and supply chain transparency recognition via the HIRC Transparency Partner Badge (2024).

Emerging players

• Dukal Corporation: Manufacturer and distributor of medical gloves, wound care, and PPE sold primarily through distribution to acute and non-acute providers. Overlaps with Medgluv in glove distribution channels and customer base.
• Dynarex Corporation: Manufacturer and wholesale distributor of medical gloves, PPE, and medical supplies across DME, EMS, and acute channels. Comparable scope of glove/PPE product portfolio and distribution go-to-market.
• Innovative Healthcare Corporation: Mid-size distributor specializing in medical/surgical supplies including exam and surgical gloves for hospitals and government buyers. Comparable GPO/distributor model to Medgluv with overlapping customer segments.

Broad incumbents

• Cardinal Health: One of the largest U.S. medical/surgical supplies distributors, also a Medgluv authorized distributor. Comparable because it wholesales exam gloves, surgical gloves, and PPE to the same hospital and IDN customer base through both direct sales and GPO contracts.
• Owens & Minor: Major medical/surgical supply distributor that also handles gloves and PPE as part of a broader portfolio. Comparable because it competes for the same GPO and IDN glove contracts that Medgluv services, and is one of Medgluv's authorized distributors.
• Medline Industries: Largest privately held medical supplies manufacturer and distributor in the U.S., competing head-to-head with Medgluv in exam gloves, surgical gloves, and PPE through GPO contracts and direct sales. Direct channel competitor.
• Henry Schein: Top-tier medical/dental supplies distributor that serves hospitals, ambulatory, and government customers with exam gloves, surgical supplies, and PPE. Strong comparable on customer mix and breadth of glove offering.
• McKesson Medical-Surgical: Division of McKesson that distributes medical-surgical supplies including exam gloves and PPE to acute and non-acute providers, competing for the same GPO contracts and IDN volume Medgluv targets.

Direct peers

• Concordance Healthcare Solutions: Medical/surgical distributor formed via roll-up of former regional medical distributors (including Seneca, Kreisers, MMS), competing for exam glove contracts with GPOs and IDNs. Comparable because it parallels Medgluv's distribution and GPO-fulfillment model.
• NDC (National Distribution Company): Healthcare distribution partner of Medgluv (Nashville, TN) that also distributes competing and complementary medical/surgical supplies to hospitals and IDNs. Comparable as a regional/segment-aligned medical glove distributor.
