What AADCO Medical Inc. does

AADCO Medical, Inc. is a privately held Original Equipment Manufacturer of radiation protection and MRI-safe medical equipment, founded in 1985 and headquartered in Randolph, Vermont, where it operates its sole manufacturing facility. The company sells four primary product categories to healthcare providers: radiology lab protection (mobile and mounted X-ray barriers, lead shields, table shields, and X-Drape sterile attenuation drapes), radiology personal protection (ErgoLite, ComfortLite, RayShield, and Z Aprons, plus thyroid shields, caps, glasses, and gloves), MRI-Safe equipment (Hercules overhead track systems, MRI-safe lighting, patient transfer devices, safety screening, and table shielding), and a broad set of medical imaging equipment and accessories. Core proprietary technologies include the patented ErgoLite thermoplastic-framework apron architecture that eliminates shoulder weight, the X-Ban radiation attenuation material certified to BS EN 6133-1:2002, the LeadFree alternative-shielding chemistry, and the Hercules aircraft-grade aluminum MRI-safe suspension system, supplemented by an in-house optical lab for leaded glasses.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time hardware sales across standard and custom-manufactured SKUs, priced on a quote-by-quote basis with volume pricing for departmental outfits. The go-to-market combines a nationwide network of direct sales representatives, a full e-commerce storefront at aadcomed.com with account management and cart functionality, downloadable PDF catalog ordering, and a Request a Quote funnel for custom and volume transactions. The company serves a diversified healthcare customer base including interventional radiologists, cardiologists, MRI facilities, outpatient clinics, dental practices, and hospital systems, with documented deployments at Memorial Sloan Kettering, Crozer-Chester Medical Center, St. Vincent's Hospital, and Orbis Flying Eye Hospital. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company markets an industry-exclusive lifetime warranty on radiation aprons, a 10-year warranty on Hercules Suspension Systems, and a 5-year warranty on mobile barriers and lamps.
