Kerma is a manufacturer of soft goods medical products, i.e. burn dressing pads and baby bonnets. We assemble and/or package elastic bandages, telemetry pouches, disposable face shields, digital thermometers, stethoscopes and blood pressure cuffs. This diverse portfolio enhances our ability to serve a wider market. Kerma began as a manufacturer in 1991 as a United States Government supplier. In 1994, the advent of the Prime Vendor Program, the government cancelled all of its direct supplier contracts because of a Congressional edict. Kerma was faced with extinction or the task of starting all over again; in the Commercial Medical Products Industry (Hospitals) rather than the government sector. We elected to start again, and today, we have contracts with most of the major Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO's).
