Demand for medical equipment soars

Many medical equipment manufacturers in Morgan Hill have seen a sharp uptick in the demand for their services amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Paramit Corporation is a business that designs, researches and engineers medical devices. Its facility located at Madrone Parkway is the company’s international headquarters for development and research. Rick Kent, the Chief Financial Officer, said to the Morgan Hill Times:

“Paramit plays a vital role in the supply chain of medical device OEMs whose products are helping to contain and manage the COVID-19 crisis. Our clients are innovating a wide range of medical solutions.”


The company has stated that several of the devices it manufactures have experienced a higher demand since the outbreak started. Mobile dialysis machines are selling quickly because they are used to give treatment to COVID-19 patients who have to be isolated. The company is also selling higher volumes of a light-based screening platform, which is used to diagnose patients and confirm that they have recovered. Some companies are producing Promotional Products such as masks.

Other items selling faster than normal during the pandemic include:

- Flu-RSV cartridges, which are used diagnosing patients,
- Genome-imaging technology, which is being used to study the virus and get a better understanding of how to beat it,
- Label-free biosensors, which are used to aid in the treatment of COVID-19 cases.

Several other manufacturers are keeping their doors open as they provide essential services, such as transport, national defense, and food supply.
