Buying guide — Nursing & Diagnostics
Nursing is the highest-consumption area for disposables in any healthcare facility. Standardising the nursing catalogue — gloves, catheters, dressings, accessories — reduces waste, simplifies inventory and improves supplier terms. A wholesale supplier with a broad catalogue and full size ranges simplifies purchasing and cuts the number of active suppliers your logistics team must manage.
What to verify before buying
- ✓Full glove size range — the wrong size reduces dexterity and raises tear risk
- ✓Visible size scale on catheters — prevents catheterisation and suction errors
- ✓ISO 10993 for prolonged contact — biocompatibility for skin/mucosa contact
- ✓Flexible MOQ — minimum orders sized for mid-sized clinics without overstock
The nursing and diagnostics catalogue, by use
Nursing is the highest-consumption area for disposables in any facility. Standardising the catalogue reduces waste, simplifies inventory and improves supplier terms. The main groups:
- Protection and barrier (PPE): latex examination gloves, medical-film gloves, disposable medical cap and isolation shoe covers.
- Clinical examination: the tongue depressor, the nasal clip, the disposable anal speculum and the sterile dressing forceps.
- Procedure and venipuncture: the disposable tourniquet and the waterproof medical underpad.
- Bedside and home-care respiratory: the nebulizer mask with chamber and tube and the 10 L oxygen concentrator with nebulization.
- Speciality: the sterile acupuncture needles.
A supplier with a broad catalogue and full size ranges cuts the number of active suppliers your logistics team must manage.
Gloves: size, material and when to use each
The glove is the most-consumed supply and the most size-sensitive: the wrong size reduces dexterity and raises the tear risk. Two lines cover almost everything:
| Glove | Material | When |
|---|---|---|
| Latex examination | Latex | Good fit and feel; avoid in allergic patients |
| Medical film | Latex-free | Non-critical tasks, latex-allergic patients/staff |
Keep the full size range (XS–XL) and, for patients or staff with documented latex allergy, a latex-free alternative always in stock. For prolonged skin and mucosa contact, require ISO 10993 biocompatibility.
Catheters, the French scale and the colour code
Many nursing supplies (catheters, drains) are measured on the French scale (Fr): 1 Fr = 1/3 of a millimetre, and the higher the number, the thicker. The colour code printed on the funnel prevents selection errors.
| French | Diameter | Indicative use |
|---|---|---|
| 6–10 Fr | 2.0–3.3 mm | Paediatric |
| 12–16 Fr | 4.0–5.3 mm | Standard adult |
| 18–24 Fr | 6.0–8.0 mm | Haematuria, irrigation |
The printed scale and length mark avoid advancing the catheter further than necessary. The full conversion chart is in French size chart (Fr to mm) and colour code.
Bedside and home-care respiratory supplies
For nebulization and home oxygen therapy, nursing manages simple, robust equipment. The nebulizer mask with chamber and tube comes in adult and paediatric sizes; the 10 L oxygen concentrator with nebulization covers continuous home supply.
Nebulization technique (a 5–15 min session, daily cleaning, parts replaced every 3–6 months) is the difference between an effective treatment and a source of infection. Step-by-step guide in how to use a nebulizer: steps and cleaning.

What about MOQ, lead time and registration for clinics and distributors?
A flexible MOQ for mid-sized clinics, with high-turnover stock (gloves, caps, catheters) for fast dispatch; OEM orders take longer. CE / ISO 13485 and ISO 10993 documentation and registration support per destination country.
Do you have latex-free gloves for allergic staff?
Yes. Besides latex examination gloves, we offer latex-free medical-film gloves for staff or patients with documented allergy. It is best to keep both lines and the full size range (XS–XL) in stock.
How do you read the French sizes of catheters?
The French (Fr) scale measures the outer diameter: 1 Fr equals 1/3 of a millimetre, and the higher the number, the thicker the catheter. Each size also carries a standard colour on the funnel to identify it at a glance and avoid errors.
Why does glove size matter so much?
The wrong size reduces dexterity and tactile feel and raises the tear risk, which compromises the barrier and procedure safety. That is why it is best to keep the full size range and not improvise with an approximate size.
Do you offer a minimum order for mid-sized clinics?
Yes. We work with a flexible MOQ adapted to mid-sized clinics, so you can standardise your catalogue without overstocking, with samples for evaluation and a private-label (OEM) option for distributors.
What biocompatibility do skin-contact supplies meet?
Supplies in prolonged contact with skin or mucosa meet the ISO 10993 biocompatibility standard, in addition to the manufacturer's CE / ISO 13485 certification and lot traceability for audits.
