What Altimate Medical does
Altimate Medical, Inc. is a privately held Minnesota-based medical device company founded in 1987, headquartered in Morton, MN, with a manufacturing footprint in Arlington, MN. The company designs, patents, manufactures, and distributes standing frames and mobility/rehabilitation equipment under the EasyStand master brand and a portfolio of sub-brands (Bantam, Evolv, Glider, StrapStand, Zing, Leggero, ActiveAid, Therafin, JustifyIt). Its core product lines are mechanical sit-to-stand and supine-positioning standers — including the patented Bantam supine stander, the modular 60+ component Evolv, the active-standing Glider, and the transfer-free StrapStand — with 16 granted patents across the US, Canada, and the European Patent Convention.
Altimate Medical sells primarily through a US dealer network complemented by direct e-commerce on easystand.com and an active tradeshow/event presence (Abilities Expo, APTA Pediatrics, ANPT, NuFair, NSM Momentum). Pricing is publicly disclosed (e.g., Bantam Medium at $3,234; accessories $159–$800), with revenue generated as one-time hardware sales plus accessories and replacement parts. The customer base is horizontal and fragmented — end users with mobility disabilities (spinal cord injury, ALS, stroke, Parkinson's, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis), pediatric and bariatric users up to 350 lbs, plus prescribing physical and occupational therapists and rehabilitation specialists.
Recent strategic activity has shifted the company from a single-brand standing-frame maker into a multi-brand rehabilitation platform: the 2017 Medical Positioning acquisition, the 2026 Leggero LLC acquisition, a Therafin distribution partnership, and the August 2025 launch of the WalkPort mobility device (produced via Medthera at Data Metalcraft). The company continues to invest in education (AltimateAcademy), clinical evidence content, and insurance-funding tooling (JustifyIt) to support prescribing professionals, while its warranty is currently restricted to US customers only.
