San Diego, CA (PRWEB) January 10, 2011

San Diego Regional Minority Supplier Development Council has certified that Ivera Medical Corporation has met the stringent certification requirements for a minority-owned business, as defined by the National Minority Supplier Development Council certification guidelines.

“We are excited to be recognized by the San Diego Regional Minority Supplier Development Council,” said Bob Rogers, Ivera Medical CEO, “Our certification will help open doors with healthcare providers and purchasing organizations who seek the competitive value a MBE can bring to their supply contracting.”

Ivera Medical manufactures and sells the Curos® Port Protector, a passive disinfection cap which disinfects and then guards luer activated swabbable valves against contamination between venous accesses to reduce rates of catheter-related bloodstream infections. The vibrant green cap assures high visibility compliance with hospital infection control protocols while its ingenious design minimizes potential alcohol spillage and packaging waste. Effective use requires only that caregivers peel off a foil seal and twist the cap onto any needleless connector. Inside the cap, a 70% IPA (isopropyl alcohol) saturated sponge continually bathes the port for effective, consistent and reliable disinfection.
