/EIN News/ --    - National clinical review and contract offers an easier path to care for millions of Veterans -

CLEVELAND, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPR announced today that the SPRINT PNS System is now available on the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) Surgical Implants-Next Generation (SING) contract via a distribution agreement with ERA Health, LLC dba Veteran’s Health Medical Supply (VHMS). The addition of SPRINT PNS to this contract will provide VA healthcare providers greater access and ease of purchase via VHMS federal contracts. The SPRINT PNS System is also currently available on the Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) and ECAT federal contracts.

This new agreement with VHMS will offer physicians working in Veterans Affairs easier access to the SPRINT System and incorporate the support of VHMS staff and their longstanding relationships with purchasing staff at these facilities. The increased visibility within the VA network is a significant benefit to SPR as the SPRINT PNS System continues to see rapid adoption in the marketplace. The Veteran’s Health Administration has a significant reach throughout the U.S. with 170 VA Medical Centers and 1,193 outpatient sites of care that can deliver support to over 9.1 million Veterans enrolled in the VA health care program.

“We are proud to continually expand access opportunities for those that can benefit from our SPRINT PNS treatment, and it is particularly important to provide our veterans who served our country appropriate solutions with the potential for long-term relief to help address their pain,” said Maria Bennett, President, CEO, and Founder of SPR. “Products included under this SING contract go through a comprehensive national clinical review which can help streamline the local product committee process in providing access to patients that are in need of care.”
