Blue Chip Medical Products

What Blue Chip Medical Products does

Blue Chip Medical Products is a US-based medical device manufacturer and distributor founded in 1996 and headquartered in Suffern, New York, operating from an 80,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. The company specializes in therapeutic support surfaces — principally alternating pressure mattress systems, low air loss systems, lateral rotation systems, foam and gel mattresses, and wheelchair seating and positioning products — designed to prevent and treat pressure injuries (Stages I–IV and unstageable) in acute care hospitals, skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, home care settings, and specialty institutions including correctional facilities and dormitories. Its product portfolio addresses bariatric (up to 1,000 lbs) and pediatric populations, with notable proprietary technologies including patented SensorCell technology (developed with LeviSense Medical and launched as ProDaptive in February 2026), patent-pending Sphere geometry, Reflect SCT surface cut technology, Barrier Lok infection control, and the Tactilus pressure mapping system with 1,612 sensing points.

The company's underlying technology platform spans alternating pressure, low air loss, pulsation, lateral rotation, and sensor-driven adaptive surface control, supported by a portfolio of proprietary cover materials (Vyvex I/II/III) and self-adjusting convertible mattress designs (GRZ platform). Blue Chip's business model is wholesale hardware sales: the company manufactures in Suffern, NY and distributes exclusively through dealer and distributor networks in the United States, Canada, and internationally, with no direct-to-end-customer sales motion. Many products are eligible for Medicare reimbursement under Group I and Group II support surface codes (EO184, EO185, EO197, EO277), making the company a participant in the federally reimbursed durable medical equipment channel.

The company is privately held and founder-led under President and Founder Ron Resnick, with clinical expertise anchored by Pressure Injury Specialist Jeff Adise (28+ years specializing in support surfaces). It celebrated its 30th operating anniversary in March 2026. As of the available data, revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company has no disclosed institutional investors, M&A activity, or parent company, consistent with a long-tenured founder-owned specialty medical device manufacturer that has scaled organically over three decades through channel partnerships and incremental product innovation.
