historically underutilized businesses for contracts. When presented to our
clients for contracting decisions, these diverse suppliers offer quality
products and often deliver significant savings. Doing business this way is not
only the smart thing to do; it`s the right thing to do."
Broadlane began working with Trinity Sterile in 2007 when Broadlane`s
client-driven contracting process allowed clients to choose the company based on
the quality of the products at the best value.

smaller companies that can compete," said Abrar Solatch, CEO of Trinity Sterile.
