Our Story - The Official Story
Suture Express was founded by Jim Vaughn, Dennis Jordan, Hank Miller and Joe Robinson in 1998. Jim, Dennis and Joe knew there was an opportunity to relieve the headache of suture and Endomechanical procurement at acute care hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers across the U.S. Today, Suture Express offers the most cost-efficient distribution model in the industry. With the resources and expertise of our current business partners, we continue to expand our product line and supplier base to satisfy more of our customers’ needs.

Suture Express’s unique business model allows Suture Express to offer customers the lowest distributor mark-up and best service levels in the industry for the products it sells. With exclusively focus on high priced, low cube, low weight items that can be delivered efficiently overnight with minimal overhead. Suture Express provides a straightforward, low-cost alternative to a complex and often inefficient procurement model.

Our Mission
Suture Express was founded on three very simple concepts...

1. COMPLETE ORDERS TOMORROW:
Suture Express stocks over 7,000 SKU's of Suture and Endo making us the largest warehouse of wound closure products in the nation.

2. FAST:
All orders are processed the day we receive them and sent to your facilities for next day delivery via FedEx. This not only helps control inventory costs, but allows for no surcharge on emergency orders.

3. CHEAP:
No one can offer the service, the commitment, the attention to detail, and the passion for excellence like Suture Express. We utilize a simple Cost + distribution model for ease of use and transparency.
