Surgical & loaner kits

Surgical trays, with a record at the OR door.

Implant and instrument trays often have to be at a hospital operating room by a set time. We run those deliveries on a written window, with a trained employee driver, a company electric van, and proof of delivery at the dock.

What we handle

This service is for implant trays, instrument sets and related case materials that have to be at a hospital receiving dock or sterile processing department in time for a scheduled case. The cargo is often expensive, and the window is set by the operating room, not by the courier.

We carry sealed, labeled kits between a device company, a warehouse or a hospital department and the dock you specify. We do not open, assemble or sterilize trays. If a kit has handling, temperature or chain-of-custody instructions, we will design the run around your protocols.

How a delivery is documented

We confirm the window and the handling in a written quote before the run starts. If a requested window is one we cannot meet, we will say so before we accept the work. The driver is an employee, trained on our procedures, including HIPAA-aware handling, and drives a company electric van — not a personal car on a gig app.

Proof of delivery is a signature, a photo and a timestamp at the dock. Serial numbers or kit identifiers can be recorded at pickup and drop when you ask us to. Live tracking and a client portal are on the roadmap and are not available yet.

Typical requests

  • A loaner tray delivered to a hospital dock ahead of a scheduled case, with a signed handoff.
  • A return run of a sealed kit from the hospital back to a warehouse or device-company location.
  • A standing weekday assignment covering a repeating set of hospital docks.
  • A STAT add-on when a case time moves and a kit has to be rerouted, accepted only when the new window can be met.

In this region

Hospital campuses in DC, Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Bethesda and the close-in Maryland suburbs keep their own receiving hours and dock procedures. A useful courier here is one that can hold a written window, find the correct dock, and bring back proof the device company or sterile processing desk can file.

We do not list hospitals or device companies as clients or partners on this page. Tell us the kit, the dock and the window, and we will design the run around them.

Planned, not yet in place. Live tracking and a client portal are on the roadmap. Commercial auto, cargo and general liability coverage are planned before the first run, with certificates available on request. Online booking is on the roadmap. Today you can request a written quote through the form.
