Eric Coldwell

it Got suppose tempt I into quantifying could don't, I that. you and

Ed Pesicka

yes. be correct, would That

Eric Coldwell

direct continued And maybe growth try, lot of actually or patient rates about at what market think market you've the your better growth. in rate. growth think a I least or about talking is market doubled growing. above there's But to the the past, Got in talked to debate about that view, I

patient that to view? to I versus and kind that So, outperformance you're little more hoping get market what market the you detail on where seeing direct growing was a of see in

Ed Pesicka

Yes, the would we from we different a our we at so market, look I on what from that suppliers. -- hear couple use guess standpoint, you proxies

look we of competitors We from reality also the and we're are our we in customers see. growth rates what the seeing to at hear in we some market, at hear also our is, know what customers, from much greater our suppliers, look both seen are greater, historically we've market than year-to-date continue what again, we we the and on what what our our

And considering categories doctor major type of type benefit got some the diabetes, that of what to they also what are in what have procedures the you've generally care got bigger category the the wound faster some ostomy like would of ramping, in health, home, that's as we're are outpacing procedure, alone of general is then categories of it's one from growing to our of I home and Now and market that categories. remember things seeing goes the come seeing of elective also visit, are person type we when additional we other of and surgery now there. downstream line or that,

continue from what have data what seeing as why good we're than we we're points or we see hearing is to today. and better that the should that's much why So, say I

Andy Long

And Andy. Eric, it's

just we've force in in that business, the little where in where Just to is about a in the and both an to clearly don't color into organic expanding reinvesting of terms we maybe this well, currently. add new moving area geographies we the business, talk occupy the sales technology investments the investments as put

Ed Pesicka

Sure.

Okay.

confidence making own facilities. our all I percentage of a what factors is and different. the gloves in see we're our think those customer that are we good gives we And absolutely

So, it's that from level China. some of operating control is vastly different and going glove into sourcing in company a

the foremost. that's and So, first

billion that the year, more about over a next we're all, lag process source suppliers beyond we disciplined rigorous of gloves that. us is to half we're, we gloves a incremental capacity that really, and talked continuing then do have Eric the a have gloves what very validate control we incremental to at gives which our and Second And that between in process making billion provide that a when put a past, factory.

manufacturers they're what's won't So, and regardless just offering the there. I has of we And what with and frankly lot what both or our that translate of has or and they're do in seen seeing there's think out been from because suppliers, that a business of that market. been customers recognized

that and yet. in pricing, it haven't product the it drastically issue seeing China, aspect delays, pricing amount made the are And of the creating coming because is market seen that products. change a But the Thailand. chain is ours in bit Regarding supply make we of shipping from is ours on we're we a other of China not

being about but labor read articles which helped We've do, recently you're route for the different We've So, the little issues. absolutely bit us it's gloves -- all that about us, has the a shipping different used right. are repacked. all a articles saw of

others. And other you be you that when selective much by leverage the so, whereas portion just can manufacturers a we that. make you And capacity different can can more gives again, control against having -- you of good a also yourself, than manufacturing be
