How Midwest orthopedic groups vet a new supplier
Orthopedic practices in the Midwest often run new vendor relationships through a group purchasing or compliance process before a product is added to inventory, especially when the product is a human tissue allograft rather than a standard surgical supply. That process typically includes a review of the supplier's donor screening practices, a certificate of analysis for the lot being considered, and confirmation that the supplier's account verification requires a valid NPI.

NPI-verified ordering
Precision Biologics ties every account to a verified NPI number, which for a Milwaukee orthopedic group usually means ordering is managed at the practice level rather than by individual surgeons. Once verified, the designated purchasing contact can request documentation and place orders for any of the Wharton's jelly or exosome formats carried.
Shipping and cold-chain receiving for Wisconsin practices
Cryopreserved Wharton's jelly products are shipped overnight on dry ice in validated containers, and winter conditions common to the upper Midwest make it worth confirming that a staff member is available to receive and inspect the shipment promptly rather than leaving it at a loading dock. Lyophilized formats are shelf-stable and do not require cold-chain handling, but both formats arrive with a lot number that should be logged against the certificate of analysis.
Confirming standing with the Wisconsin Medical Board
Before adding a new biologics supplier, an orthopedic practice should confirm its own standing with the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board and review the intended use of any product with its own legal counsel, rather than relying on a supplier's description of its own compliance. Precision Biologics does not advise on clinical use, dosing or procedures, and account setup includes the option to schedule a documentation-focused call between a practice's medical director and ours.
FDA has stated there are no FDA-approved exosome products. Exosome products are generally regulated as biologic drugs under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act, not as 361 HCT/Ps. Purchase and clinical use decisions belong to the physician with their own regulatory counsel.
These products are not FDA approved or licensed for any disease or condition. Information is for licensed healthcare professionals and is not medical or legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
Does Precision Biologics ship to Wisconsin year-round, including winter months?+
Cryopreserved products ship overnight on dry ice in validated containers regardless of season; a practice should still plan for prompt receiving to avoid delays from winter weather affecting carrier schedules.

A valid NPI number is required for account verification; once verified, a practice can request documentation and place orders.
Who do we ask about whether a product fits a specific surgical use?+
That determination belongs to the practice and its own counsel; Precision Biologics supplies product and documentation but does not provide clinical or legal guidance on intended use.
