Intersurgical, Inc. awarded laryngeal mask airways – non-inflatables agreements with Premier, Inc.
Indianapolis, IN – September 3, 2026 – Intersurgical, Inc. has been awarded national group purchasing agreements for Laryngeal Mask Airways – Non-Inflatables with Premier’s SURPASS® and AscenDrive® programs, which are designed to drive the highest-level commitment and savings for members through aggregated purchasing of high-quality products and services. The programs bring together Premier’s most committed members to coordinate purchasing decisions and maintain standardization across their facilities. By providing additional value to Premier contracted suppliers through volume and commitment, the programs are expected to achieve best-in-market pricing.
Effective August 1, 2026, the new agreements allow Premier members, at their discretion, to take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for i-gel® products.
"We’re excited for the opportunity to bring an innovative product like i-gel® to Premier members and support them in improving patient satisfaction," said Andrew Shurig, President, Intersurgical.
The i-gel® is a truly unique, single-use, latex and PVC-free airway device, representing the culmination of years of extensive research and development. Everything about the i-gel® has been designed to work in perfect unison with the anatomy; the i-gel® design was inspired by the physiology of the perilaryngeal framework itself — airway management as nature might have intended.
