The operating backbone ofmodern healthcare procurement.
Sterile Mate is a Houston-based medical device distributor and healthcare infrastructure partner. We deliver the surgical instruments, water systems, skilled trades, and capital projects that hospitals and surgical facilities across Texas depend on every day.
AskIsaac is the intelligence platform we built to run that work — routing backorder hunts, dispatching maintenance, generating compliant 3-quote packages, and orchestrating contractors in real time so our clients never wait on procurement again.

Our Three Pillars
AskIsaac is the platform. Sterile Mate is the company behind it — a Houston-based medical-device distributor and healthcare infrastructure operator. These are the three commitments that govern how we run the business, who we hire, and how we grow.
Service to Healthcare
Solve the problems that keep clinicians focused on the patient in front of them.
We exist because hospitals deserve a partner who shows up when the primary supplier says “out of stock,” when the water loop fails, when the SPD project needs to be done right the first time. Every order, every install, every backorder triage is engineered around one thing—keeping clinical teams unencumbered.
Jobs for Our Community
Translate every dollar of revenue into real jobs, real paychecks, real career pathways.
Sterile Mate is a Houston business and a Houston employer. Workforce inclusion—particularly for people with disabilities and historically underemployed populations—is not a CSR line item. It is how we hire, how we promote, and how we grow.
Sustainable Growth, Earned
Grow only on the strength of measurable value delivered to our clients.
Our growth model compounds on client value—never extractively, never faster than the trust we have built. If we cannot prove the value, we do not earn the next order. That discipline keeps us honest, keeps our clients at the center of every decision, and keeps the business durable through any market cycle.
Three pillars, one operating philosophy: serve the healthcare professionals who serve our communities, employ the neighbors who make that service possible, and grow only as fast as the value we deliver lets us. Everything Sterile Mate ships, installs, hires, and builds is measured against these three.
George Broughton III
Founder & Chief Executive Officer · Sterile Mate LLC
George Broughton III is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sterile Mate LLC, a Houston-based hospital supply-chain and healthcare-infrastructure company. Since 2021 he has built Sterile Mate into a trusted vendor for Gulf-region hospital systems — sourcing hard-to-find medical devices, delivering AAMI-compliant critical-water systems for sterile processing, and leading capital projects inside occupied clinical environments.
George is the architect of AskIsaac, the intelligence layer behind sterilemate.com that turns hospital backorder shortages into live RFQs pushed directly to a vetted contractor and supplier network. Under his leadership, Sterile Mate holds active reverse-osmosis / DI polisher contracts across multiple Houston-area hospital campuses, is an Authorized Distributor for American Surgical (Neuro Sponges & Cottonoids), and serves as a subject-matter expert on the AAMI ST108 critical-water standard for sterile processing departments.
Before founding Sterile Mate, George spent 14 years at United Airlines designing and delivering FAA-compliant curriculum for new-hire and recurrent flight-attendant training — the discipline of running mission-critical operations under regulatory scrutiny is what shapes Sterile Mate's operating standards today. His earlier career includes national sales & marketing leadership for a Chicago startup apparel brand and account-executive roles across the wireless industry.
Sterile Mate is SAM.gov registered (CAGE 9GH66), a certified Minority Business Enterprise, and operates from a distribution facility in the North Houston District — where George was featured on the cover of the District's Quadrants publication (Oct 2023) as a profiled MBE business owner.
