Ohio Medical Corporation

What Ohio Medical Corporation does

Ohio Medical Corporation, operating as Ohio Medical LLC, designs, manufactures, and services medical gas delivery and suction therapy equipment used primarily by acute care hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and medical gas construction contractors. The company's product portfolio spans suction regulators (Push-To-Set, Legacy, and Amvex brands), flowmeters (7700 and 6700 series, Amvex Thorpe, and patented integrated flowmeters), medical oxygen blenders, portable suction units, demand valves, oxygen monitors/analyzers (MiniOx), and full medical gas pipeline infrastructure including NFPA 99 compliant vacuum pumps, air compressors, alarms, manifolds, zone valve boxes, and gas outlets. Notable underlying technology includes patented Push-To-Set automated occlusion safety mechanisms on continuous and intermittent analog and digital vacuum regulators, US Patent 8,555,913 covering combined flowmeter/outlet designs, and the world's first digital suction regulator (Amvex). Manufacturing is conducted at an ISO 13485:2016 certified, FDA-regulated (21 CFR Part 820) facility in Gurnee, Illinois, with additional CE marking and MDSAP certification to support global distribution. The company also operates the Squire-Cogswell brand for industrial vacuum applications and supports OEM private-label arrangements.

Revenue is generated through a mix of direct medical device hardware sales (suction regulators, flowmeters, blenders, portable suction, hoses, fittings), medical gas systems sales and installation, replacement parts (including for competitor products), and recurring services such as preventative maintenance contracts (with 10% parts/labor discounts) and the Diamond Repair Service offering $109 flat-fee regulator repair with minimum 8-unit order. Distribution combines a US and international field sales force, an inside sales and customer service team, a 2025-launched eCommerce platform for registered accounts, an OEM/private-label program, and aftermarket services priced separately from equipment sales. Pricing is predominantly quote-based under Net 30 terms with a $100 minimum order, custom-product quotes valid 30 days, and interest at 1.5% per month on past-due balances.

The company is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of ESAB Corporation following an October 2022 acquisition, operating alongside sister brands GCE Healthcare and Victor within ESAB's industrial, medical, and specialty gas portfolio. Prior ownership included Tenex Capital Management (2016-2022), and the business traces its corporate lineage to Ohio Chemical and Manufacturing Company (founded 1910) and Squire-Cogswell (founded 1916), retaining Amvex (acquired 2007) and MiniOx (acquired 2010) as wholly-owned sub-brands. Anthony Wieczorek serves as Chief Executive Officer; leadership and operations remained intact following the ESAB transaction.
