BOSTON — Convatec said it has been awarded two group purchasing agreements in the Enterostomal Therapy Products category with Premier, Inc., expanding access to its ostomy care products for Premier member organizations. The agreements take effect April 1, 2026.
The first is a national agreement that allows Premier members, at their discretion, to access special pricing and terms negotiated by Premier for enterostomal therapy products. Convatec was also awarded an agreement under Premier’s AscenDrive program, which is designed to deliver deeper savings through aggregated purchasing and a higher level of member commitment.
The AscenDrive program brings together Premier’s most committed members to coordinate purchasing decisions and maintain product standardization across facilities. By combining volume with long-term commitment, the program aims to achieve best-in-market pricing for participating members while providing additional value to contracted suppliers.
“At Convatec, our forever caring promise drives everything we do,” said Dan Yrigoyen, vice president of U.S. ostomy care at Convatec. “Through these new agreements with Premier, we’re making it easier for providers to access our trusted medical solutions for people living with an ostomy, including Convatec’s dedicated me+ support program. Together, these agreements strengthen our focus on delivering high-quality ostomy solutions while providing Premier members with exceptional value and savings. We remain committed to helping people live confidently and improve health outcomes.”
