Frequently asked questions
Answers about SUBMED products, custom packs, quality documentation, ordering, shipping, and returns.
Products & custom packs What types of medical packs does SUBMED offer?
SUBMED offers a range of procedure-specific packs, including angiography kits, C-section drapes, cardiovascular sets, and arthroscopy sets. The product range also covers surgical drapes and covers, wound care consumables, medical apparel, and nursing kits such as Easy HD dialysis access kits.
Products & custom packs Can SUBMED kits be customized for specific procedures?
Yes. You can modify existing kits, for example laparoscopy (LAPDRP150) or TUR (TURDRP150) kits, by adding or removing components such as gauze swabs (GAUZX100), bowls (BOWL500), or forceps (ADSFRC12). You can also start a fully custom pack from your own specifications.
