Well friends - here we are. Wondering how you all are handling the seemingly almost complete loss of product supply/information/accountability from almost all contact manufacturers and brands in 2023? It was a growing issue the last half of 2022, culminating of course in Vist completely shutting down the last half of December, and refusing to ship at all. We won't even mention their shotgun discontinuation of a huge number of skus, forcing refits for large numbers of patients. V is by far the worst, but Alco, B+L, and Cooper aren't much better at all.

Completely unprecedented in my own limited 35 years of experience in the field. And now we're averaging 3 week delivery on "in stock" orders, and 2-3 months on backordered product. Trials in particular are all but non-existant, and reps just give the same non-answer lip service as to what's actually going on, and what they're doing to fix the problem. Never thought I'd live to see such a massive crash and burn, but well as stated before - here we are.

How are all of yinz coping in your respective offices?
