According to the latest statistical data, the U.S. sees 11,000 new births per day, and the U.S. population is expected to reach 350 million by 2030. At the same rate, breast cancer remains one of the fastest-growing kinds of cancers. Invasive female breast cancer incidence rates have been increasing by about 0.5% per year since the mid-2000s. Surgery is one of the common ways of treatment in such cases. 

Home medical equipment suppliers play a pivotal role in offering products and services for new mothers and women recovering from cancer treatment. Choosing the right women’s health supplier is important for ensuring that women receive the right products and support services.

Women’s health HME suppliers offer a variety of products and services staffed by professionally trained mastectomy, compression, and nursing fitters. The product categories include the following:

Post-Surgical Services

Post-surgery garments, recommended for use after mastectomy, lumpectomy, or reconstruction surgeries. HME providers who offer these services and products can provide custom-made products, offering women best-in-class care.

Lymphedema and Compression

Lymphedema and compression products include upper and lower extremities, nighttime garments, custom garments, and compression pumps. These products aim to create the proper pressure to help lymph flow correctly.

New Mother Support

Products in this category include breast pumps, nursing bras, and support and compression products. Aside from providing the right products, HME suppliers can oftentimes provide expertise and guidance for new mothers, giving women as much comfort as possible.

While the market for women’s health products is growing, HME suppliers who offer these products must have efficient business processes in place to handle the patient experience. With increased demand comes the need to use the right tools to help manage orders, inventory, and billing processes. Many of these products and services offered by women’s health suppliers are billable through medical insurance, and having the right technology systems in place is critical to delivering the right products to patients in need.

HME suppliers of women’s health products can vary in size, but many of these companies consist of small teams with a dedication to delivering best-in-class care for women. Eliminating the waste of multiple systems, spreadsheets, paper, and pen must be a thing of the past for suppliers who wish to grow their business while delivering much-needed patient care. Connecting business processes, like ordering, inventory, billing, point of sale, and other day-to-day workflows can be managed within one solution.
