What Nuprodx does

Nuprodx, Inc. is a specialty medical device manufacturer founded in 1998 and headquartered in a 28,000 sq ft integrated facility in Livermore, California. The company designs and builds bathroom mobility and transfer equipment — shower chairs, shower wheelchairs, commode chairs, and tub/shower slider systems — primarily for people with disabilities (quadriplegia, paraplegia, spinal cord injury), seniors needing fall-prevention solutions, and pediatric users. Its core technology is a patented connector bridge that enables users to slide over tub walls and shower lips without manual transfers, combined with a center-of-mass tilt design, modular configure-to-order architecture, and aircraft-grade aluminum construction fabricated in-house using Solidworks 3D CAD and CNC machining.

The product portfolio spans five lines (3000-series stationary chairs, 4000-series wheeled chairs, 5000/6000-series tub and shower slider systems, and pediatric chairs including Leckey-integrated variants), sold direct-to-consumer through quote-based configuration and through an authorized dealer network. Since October 31, 2025, ordering has migrated to Sunrise Medical's My Sunrise dealer portal, reflecting the company's status as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunrise Medical. A separate Nuprodx Manufacturing Division, opened in December 2017, generates incremental revenue through contract CNC machining, tube bending, and mechanical assembly services.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct sales (phone, configure-to-order web portal, FAA-compliant travel products shipped globally) with a dealer channel distributed via Sunrise Medical's network. Pricing is quote-based, not publicly disclosed, with accessories ranging roughly $20-$525. The company was founded by Bruce Hammer, a C6/7 quadriplegic former motorcycle racer with 40+ years of personal mobility-equipment experience, and is led since 2015 by President David Gaskell, who oversees design, manufacturing, and commercial operations.

Direct peers

• Raz Design: Raz Design specializes in bathroom mobility products—specifically shower commode chairs and tilt-in-space bathroom chairs—directly competing with Nuprodx across the same product category (multiCHAIR equivalents), same customer base (spinal cord injury, MS, ALS, complex rehab), and same distribution channel (complex rehab dealers and DME providers).
• Showerbuddy: Showerbuddy designs and sells tub-to-shower transfer systems and shower chairs that overlap directly with Nuprodx's Tub Slider Systems (MC5000/6000 series). It serves the same population (people with disabilities, seniors, caregivers) with comparable bridge-based transfer technology and similar dealer distribution.
• ActiveAid: ActiveAid manufactures rehab shower/commode chairs and pediatric bath equipment, directly overlapping Nuprodx's stationary, wheeled, and pediatric product lines. It serves complex rehab professionals and end users through a similar dealer-based DME channel.

Broad incumbents

• Invacare: Invacare is a global DME manufacturer with extensive product lines including shower chairs (Aquatec brand), commode chairs, and complex rehab power wheelchairs. It competes with Nuprodx in bathroom mobility while serving adjacent categories (beds, lifts, respiratory) at much greater scale.
