The medical and healthcare field is one that revolves around trust, and our guest plays a big part in that.

Beth Guinn is the VP of Engineered Film Sales at Presco, and she joins host Tyler Kern to talk about how Presco formulates vinyl for various medical applications on this episode of The Marking Minute.

Guinn wants the audience to know that Presco has the knowledge and resources to help customers in the medical and healthcare field qualify a vinyl film for their medical device.

Guinn explained that there are several devices in the hospital and medical field that are made out of vinyl. For instance, one is a compression device that prevents blood clots. Other devices with flexible vinyl include blood, urine, IV and ostomy product bags, inflatable bladders, and much more. Presco’s flexible vinyl film can be easily manipulated to directly impact the physical and safety requirements of the finished product.

Presco has the experience to create products that hold up to exact regulatory and performance standards. Guinn said that regulations are different in the U.S. than in Europe, and Presco also offers EVA as an alternative to PVC for regulatory requirements. Guinn said that Presco will help customers navigate these challenges to create a quality vinyl film.

The EU’s MDR delay buys time, but it won’t clear your commissioning bottleneck

The European Commission backed extending EU MDR transition deadlines to December 2027 and December 2028, Medical Design & Outsourcing reported. It buys time, not ramp-up capacity. Design News cites digital commissioning and machine digital twins to cut “power-on” surprises and speed validation and operator training.

  • 01If an EU portfolio includes Class III, December 2027 is now the planning anchor, but the internal gating item may shift to validation capacity and automation readiness, not paperwork.
  • 02Digital commissioning is becoming a procurement spec, not a buzzword, because it lets teams run DFM/DFA learning loops before hardware is built, which Design News notes is meant to reduce machine power-on surprises.

HCA’s Q1 was not about volume. It was about coverage and collecting cash

HCA Healthcare reaffirmed 2026 guidance after Q1 weather and a muted respiratory season cut adjusted EBITDA by about $180 million, according to HealthLeaders and Fierce Healthcare. Payer mix shifted fast. Exchange admissions fell about 15% and uninsured admissions rose about 16%, Fierce reported.

  • 01A mild flu season can be a margin event: HCA tied a 42% drop in respiratory admissions to a roughly $180M adjusted EBITDA hit (HealthLeaders, Fierce Healthcare).
  • 02The 2026 risk is sliding from demand to coverage: HCA cited a $600M–$900M full-year EBITDA headwind from exchange-related changes, with $150M already in Q1 (HealthLeaders, Fierce Healthcare).
  • 03Supplemental payments are becoming an operating capability, not a windfall: HCA said Q1 Medicaid program net benefit was about $200M vs $80M expected (HealthLeaders, Fierce Healthcare), putting state-by-state reimbursement strategy on the CFO’s critical path.

Dental practice exits are turning into multi-year projects, not last-year decisions

Dental practice exits are turning into multi-year projects, not last-year decisions

Associate-led dental practice successions can take 3–5+ years. Dental Economics says associate-to-buyout timelines often run three to five-plus years. That pushes revenue-cycle controls, buy-sell terms, and tax structure earlier, before a buyer appears.

  • 01A practical benchmark is emerging for succession: bringing in an associate with intent to buy can take a minimum of three years and often more than five, according to Dental Economics.
  • 02If accounts receivable looks “high,” it may be a bookkeeping and posting problem before it is a payer problem, a revenue-cycle diagnostic Group Dentistry Now says shows up frequently at scale.
  • 03Exit planning is now an operating system project: valuation, tax positioning, and transition support belong in the same workstream, because deal structure can lock in or foreclose tax options, per Dental Economics.
