Micro-Introducer Kit BOM Planning for Distributors
Distributors win micro-introducer shelf space when the BOM is boring — same wire, same needle, same sheath length every PO. Excitement belongs in sales, not in silent component swaps.
Anchor on sheath French size
4F x 10 cm kits dominate many outpatient lists. Changing to 5F without updating marketing collateral confuses accounts.
Wire pairing discipline
Kits specify wires like ".018 x 40cm, SS/SS" or ".018 x 60cm, NT/AU." Create internal SKU aliases so warehouse staff cannot pick a gold-coil wire into a stainless-spec kit.
Needle echo vs non-echo
Echo needles cost more but reduce failed punctures in ultrasound-guided workflows. Segment customers explicitly — do not default echo for price-sensitive accounts.
Stiffened kit variants
Stiffened micro-introducer kits use alternative wire support for challenging access. Keep them as separate catalog lines to avoid accidental substitutions.
Coaxial 6F programs
Larger coaxial kits bundle trocar needles and longer sheaths for different anatomy. Treat them as a separate forecasting family with distinct clinician champions.
Private-label sterile labeling
If you relabel, confirm symbol vocabulary per EU MDR and U.S. UDI requirements before artwork approval.
