Graham Medical

What Graham Medical does

Graham Medical is a US-based manufacturer and distributor of single-use disposable medical products, operating as a division of Little Rapids Corporation and headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin (2273 Larsen Road). The company's product portfolio spans apparel (gowns including 3-ply tissue, tissue/poly, and scrim-reinforced variants; scrubs; lab coats; O.R. caps; capes and cover-ups), bedding (flat and fitted sheets, blankets including emergency/mylar variants, pillows, pillowcases, absorbent mats), table paper (crepe, printed, smooth, and specialty Poly-Perf), patient care items (bibs, drapes, towels, washcloths, tourniquets, telemetry pouches), PPE (bouffant caps, shoe covers, protective gowns), and the registered-trademark MegaMover® line of portable patient transport units (Tactical, Disaster Response, Plus, Chair variants). Underlying material technology centers on tissue, tissue/poly, and scrim-reinforced nonwoven substrates engineered for absorbency, fluid resistance, and rapid deployment in EMS contexts.

The company serves four primary vertical segments: Health Systems (hospitals and healthcare facilities), EMS (emergency medical responders), Dental & Chiropractic practices, and Medical Spas. Its go-to-market is B2B and distributor-led, with sales flowing through a network of local US distributors surfaced via a 'Where To Buy' locator on the company's website; complementary direct marketing includes trade shows, downloadable catalogs and sell sheets (e.g., 2026 Graham Medical Catalog, EMS Brochure), and a blog. Revenue mechanics are one-time purchase of case-based inventory (e.g., 50/CS, 100/CS) at unit prices ranging roughly $29-$277 per case, with no subscription or recurring model evident. Quantitative outcomes claimed include reduced cross-contamination risk and lower linen and laundry costs for healthcare buyers.

Operationally, Graham Medical is one of three businesses under Little Rapids Corporation, alongside Graham Beauty (single-use disposables for the beauty industry) and Rapids (packaging products). The company markets under the tagline 'The Promise of Protection' and holds registered trademarks on MegaMover, Poly-Perf, FlexFit, and 'The Promise of Protection'. No public revenue, headcount, certification, or leadership data is disclosed in the source materials.
