Absolute Medical Services

What Absolute Medical Services does

Absolute Medical Services, Inc. is a privately-held e-commerce reseller of certified pre-owned and refurbished medical imaging and patient-monitoring equipment, operating since 2001 from Chester, New York. The company sells ultrasound machines, ultrasound probes/transducers, defibrillators, patient and vital signs monitors, EKG/ECG machines, bone densitometers, infusion pumps, capnographs, and spirometers from major OEMs including GE Healthcare, Philips, Samsung Medison, SonoSite, Hologic, Welch Allyn, Edan, Esaote, Zoll, and PhysioControl. Its core technical competency is an in-house refurbishment process that performs full hardware and software inspection, component replacement with OEM-grade parts, image-quality verification to diagnostic standards, professional cleaning, and software updates prior to resale.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model via absolutemed.com, built on a NetSuite storefront with SSL-encrypted checkout, supplemented by a DOTmed Certified marketplace listing. Distribution is global: UPS Ground and overnight for domestic small items, insured national freight for large ultrasound systems, and UPS expedited or international air freight for overseas buyers. The company employs 11-50 people, has no parent company, and discloses no external funding; named customers include Harvard, Cornell, Mt. Sinai, Columbia University Medical Center, Children's Hospital Colorado, and other hospital and academic institutions.

Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, typically priced 40-70% below OEM list, with a 30-day standard warranty (60-day on select machines), 7-day returns, and healthcare-financing partner options. The go-to-market deliberately omits traveling salesmen to maintain price competitiveness, relying instead on organic search, the online catalog, and quote-based enterprise engagement. The company also surfaces indirect third-party validation, including the 2010 Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Award associated with the Philips refurbishment program it carries.
