Carestream America

What Carestream America does

CAREstream America is a US medical device distributor and specialty medtech operator based in Sanford, Florida, operating as the US arm of the CAREstream Group alongside sister entity Christie Medical Holdings. The company sources, distributes, and in some cases co-develops a portfolio of pain management, anesthesia, respiratory, vascular imaging, regenerative biologics, and aesthetics technologies targeting hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, med spas, EMS, orthopedic practices, OBGYN, urology, and respiratory care providers. Its own proprietary and distributed brands include Pro-Nox (50/50 nitrous oxide and oxygen patient-controlled analgesia, deployed across 3,000+ US offices), VeinViewer NIR vascular imaging, CAREprp (FDA-cleared hourglass-tube PRP system), Alpha2Active (510(k)-cleared A2M concentration), body-jet water-jet assisted liposuction, Serres surgical fluid management, Pharma Systems HMEs and bacterial/viral filters, and a comprehensive Single Use Injection Kit line. Technology differentiation rests on patented tube geometry, A2M concentration chemistry, NIR imaging precision, and (most recently) exclusive US distribution of CHA Meditech's Celltermi probiotic-derived exosome aesthetic serums.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid capital-plus-consumables model: one-time hardware sales of capital devices (Pro-Nox $7,499, VeinViewer $5,995, CAREprp $1,795, Alpha2Active pump $5,000 plus centrifuge $2,500) layered with recurring consumables (Pro-Nox breathing circuits, A2M/PRP kits at $199-$995, Serres suction bags, HME filters, SUIK injection kits). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales to hospitals and surgery centers, an inside sales team handling inbound quotes, and a self-serve e-commerce storefront at shop.carestreamamerica.com for smaller consumable purchases, supported by webinars, trade shows, and annual flagship events like National Pro-Nox Day. Customer engagement is reinforced through active social media and educational content via The Stream blog and Vault Collection. The company is privately held under parent CAREstream Medical Ltd., led by CEO Blake Petrunick, and operates with 11-50 employees from a headquarters that includes over 7,000 square feet of warehouse and distribution space.
