Darby Dental Supply Launches New Surgical Division
Darby Dental Supply's new surgical division encompasses more than 5,000 top-tier branded
products in surgical-specific categories such as instrumentation, sutures and bone grafting. The
company's surgical category manager, Brian Kacerow, says this new division eliminates the
inconvenience of shopping around by providing a one-stop shop for GPs, implantologists and
surgical specialists.
To accommodate the new division, Darby hired a team of surgical account managers who
underwent a year of specialized surgical product training. This addition is the latest in Darby's
expansion into a full-service solutions provider; the company also recently expanded its capital
equipment division, formed an exclusive partnership with Dental Fix Rx, and launched Darby
TechForce, a technology services division providing HIPAA compliance, IT managed services,
installations, digital integration and network security solutions.
