Description:
I have worked in the medical profession for 16 yrs, my partners come from a large medical/surgical supply co. Our company was founded on our knowledge of the industry, actual cost of product, and where the need is in the market. We are starting a surgical supply company selling to hospitals, veterenerians, and distributors. we chose to be a specialized company catering to the surgical market, offering the top products used and necessary for doing surgery. We offer the same products as our competitors, but at a cost savings of 25%-40%. Hospitals are in great need of cost savings, as is everyone today. This is a recession proof business; as healthcare is not dependent on the economy. Our products must be used anywhere surgery is done. Hospitals must and do purchase all items we carry; as we have purchase orders to show monthly purchases. We are in need of an investor to help with the major startup of the company. We have put our money into the company for product proto-type, die casting/molds, production, etc... of current products on the market. We've also created a new product, similar to the number one selling surgical item, that we must have patented. We introduced the new product prototype to a select number of hospitals and we received rave reviews. All guaranteed the new product will be their first choice purchase over the current model. I have relationships with key contact people for all the competitors customers. We know exactly what was purchased/quantity/price/frequency. We currently have 2 seperate interested investors, but have made no decisions as of yet. The Healthcare Industry needs help saving money without compromising quality of care. My goal in starting this company is to offer high quality products at the absolute lowest price. Hospitals are buying these products from the current suppliers at an outragous price. I want to take every bit of business from them on the products we currently offer. We will be adding more products and equiptment to our line as the company grows. All products can and will be used in conjunction. Surgery in a hospital on patients will never decline because of the economy. Ohio Surgical Supply will help hospitals save 10's of thousands of dollars, or more, each year with this product line alone. We will help make a difference.
