180 Medical Catheter Company Founder Uses Personal Experience to Help Others
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, Jul 14 (MARKET WIRE) --
When Todd Brown was injured in a motocross accident that left him
paralyzed from the T-7 vertebrae down twelve years ago, he had no idea he
would one day be running the fastest growing medical supply company in
the country.
Then 25, Brown went back to his job as a broker at Merrill-Lynch after two
months of rehabilitation and vowed to get on with his life. Although he
participated in his first wheelchair marathon just six months after his
injury, he continued to encounter disability-related obstacles that
dragged him down.
"My wheelchair was not fit properly -- I couldn't even fit through the
door into my house -- and I was constantly getting Urinary Tract
Infections (UTIs) from my use of catheters," said Brown.
To make things worse, none of the medical supply companies Brown dealt
with were truly knowledgeable about spinal cord injuries. Most had no end
users on staff at all, let alone any staff who could provide catheter
information. Brown bought a new wheelchair that fit, and discovered
closed system catheters which caused his UTIs to reduce, and improved his
independence dramatically.
"I found that many others shared my same experience, and I was convinced
there had to be a better way, so my wife and I started 180 Medical, Inc.
We made it our mission to supply products that would help people become
more independent, and adopted the motto: 'Supplying the products that
help turn people's lives around,'" explained Brown.
Since that day 180 Medical has grown into one of the largest suppliers of
urologic products in the United States. They are used as a referral source
for some of the top Rehabilitation Facilities in the world because of
their extensive knowledge and unmatched customer care.
At 180 Medical customers talk to a real person on the phone, their
insurance companies are billed directly, and catheter products are
delivered discreetly to their front doors after medical histories are
obtained from doctors or case managers. 180 Medical carries a wide range
of sterile use catheters including closed system catheters, intermittent
catheters, female urinary catheters, hydrophilic catheters and pediatric
catheters.
"I personally guarantee that if you try us for your urologic supply needs
your life will be changed for the better," said Brown.
