March 21, 2024- Ryan O’Connor is the National Vice President for Extended Care within the U.S. Medical Products and Distribution business at Cardinal Health, where he started as a rep in Orange County, Calif., 14 years ago. O’Connor says it’s a good opportunity for Cardinal Health to grow in the space.
Just this past year, Cardinal Health launched a new enteral feeding device under Kangaroo brands. “Kangaroo OMNI™ is the next generation of enteral feeding focused on improving patient outcomes and quality of care. We launched the new device in August of last year to our sales team in Nashville. They were energized by what they saw, and the way our team has rallied around the product is a differentiator,” he said. “It’s clinically differentiated in the market and drives for differentiation and patient outcomes.” Cardinal Health has had positive momentum getting that product launched and achieving market awareness across providers, caregivers and patients, according to O’Connor. “We have a diverse product basket of Cardinal Health Brand products that range from physician-preferred core products and supplies to highly clinically differentiated specialty products,” he said. “And when you get to bring a device to market at the forefront of clinical differentiation, it’s a lot of fun.”
