LAFAYETTE, LA – August 12, 2025 – Tides Medical, a biotechnology company offering advanced wound care products, announced today a new membership agreement with Alliant Purchasing, a leading national group purchasing organization (GPO) known for delivering value-driven supply chain solutions and clinical excellence to its vast network of healthcare providers. This agreement makes APLICOR 3D, Tides Medical’s cutting-edge regenerative tissue printing system, more accessible and affordable to Alliant’s members across the U.S.

Alliant Purchasing serves a broad base of healthcare facilities—including hospitals, surgery centers, long-term care facilities, and physician practices—by leveraging the power of collaborative purchasing to reduce costs and improve operational performance. Through this new partnership, Alliant’s member organizations will benefit from exclusive access and enhanced savings on APLICOR 3D, an advanced wound care technology recognized for its potential to significantly improve outcomes for patients with hard-to-heal wounds.

“This is an exciting milestone for both Tides Medical and the healthcare providers we serve,” said Joe Spell, CEO at Tides Medical. “Partnering with Alliant Purchasing allows us to bring APLICOR 3D to a larger and more diverse group of providers. Alliant’s reputation for clinical alignment and commitment to its members’ success makes this an ideal relationship to expand access to the future of wound care technology.”
