Tri-State Surgical Supply and Equipment

What Tri-State Surgical Supply and Equipment does

Tri-State Surgical Supply and Equipment Ltd. is a Brooklyn, New York-based privately held distributor of medical supplies and durable medical equipment (DME), founded in 1976 and operating across the United States. The company serves two customer segments: a primary vertical of healthcare facilities — principally long-term care communities and nursing homes — that require recurring procurement of consumables and equipment, and a secondary horizontal of individual consumers purchasing home-use medical products such as diabetic care, wound care, incontinence, and mobility items. Its catalog spans two core categories: Medical Supplies (diabetic care, wound care, incontinence, respiratory, syringes, gloves, ostomy, personal care, nursing, and nutrition/enterals) and Durable Medical Equipment (wheelchairs and mobility, bariatric, beds and mattresses, rehabilitation and therapy, diagnostics, bathing/toileting, lifters and slings, and resident safety).

The company's commercial platform is a standard e-commerce storefront with shopping cart, wishlist, account management, and order tracking, supplemented by a toll-free phone line (1-800-899-8741) staffed by product experts and a Business Account Program that captures facility-level data such as bed count and group purchasing affiliation. Distribution is executed through multiple U.S. distribution centers that enable nationwide fulfillment, and the company markets primarily through its website, email newsletter, and phone sales, with a daily-deal section and free-shipping promotions as merchandising levers. Revenue is generated on a unit-pricing, pay-as-you-go basis, with personalized discounts delivered through the ValueList program, which tailors pricing to individual customer purchasing trends. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or management team data in the available record.
