Ready-to-use packs help reduce prep time and improve inventory management, allowing organizations to focus more on patient care
NORTHFIELD, Ill.,May 20, 2026/PRNewswire/ -- Medline (Nasdaq:MDLN) announced the availability of custom spay/neuter surgical packs designed to help animal shelters and humane societies, high-volume spay and neuter clinics, and veterinary practices streamline procedures, reduce staff burden and help enhance access to spay and neuter programs.
Millions of pets are spayed and neutered annually in the United States, and organized surgery packs can group essential, sterile instruments for immediate use, just as they do for human procedures. This enables staff to move more quickly between patients, similar to human procedures.

Medline is the nation's leading kitting provider and developed these packs for Medline's animal health business. The packs consolidate commonly used surgical supplies into a single, ready‑to‑use solution that is designed to simplify procedure set up and increase turnover efficiency.
"Every veterinary practice operates differently, and efficiency matters," said Yogesh Wadhera, group general manager for Medline's sterile procedure tray division. "Medline's spay/neuter packs represent our commitment to extending our sterile procedure tray capabilities into the animal health market, responding directly to customer unmet needs."
The Pensacola Humane Society, a no‑kill shelter serving Florida's Gulf Coast, recently implemented Medline's custom spay/neuter packs as part of its efforts to scale its surgical program after a period of organizational restructuring. Spay/neuter procedures represent the majority of the shelter's surgical caseload.
"Spay and neuter is central to our mission," said Blake White, CEO of the Pensacola Humane Society. "When we restarted surgeries, we needed a more efficient approach. Using Medline's customized surgical packs helped us save valuable staff time, simplify our process and ultimately increase the number of procedures we could perform for our community."
Implementation of the packs also assisted the shelter's efforts to reduce length of stay for pets at the facility, supporting the organization's broader goal of helping more animals move quickly into permanent homes.
