What Med Tech does
Med Tech Sweden, Inc. is a US-incorporated medical device company operating as a DBA (doing business as) of Red Medical Corporation, headquartered at 320 N 2250th Ave, Geneseo, Illinois. The company was established in 1990 and operates with 1-10 employees. It specializes in vacuum-based patient immobilization and spinal protection products for emergency medical services (EMS) and hospital settings, serving emergency medical technicians, paramedics, ambulance services, and hospitals/trauma centers requiring secure patient handling and prevention of secondary spinal injuries during transport. Customers purchase through a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model via the company website, with phone and email sales support available.
The company's product portfolio centers on proprietary vacuum splint technology originally designed by founder Bo Renberg in Sweden and manufactured in the USA, using environmentally friendly materials free of PVC and latex. Core products include Vacuum Spine Boards (VSB), Vacuum Splint Immobilizers (VSI), Head Immobilizers (VHI), Extremity Vacuum Splints (EVS) including a disposable variant, and Cervical Collars (VCC), complemented by carrying cases and vacuum pumps as accessories. The technology uses vacuum pressure to mold splints and immobilization devices to patient anatomy, providing conformability that the company positions as superior to traditional rigid splints.
Med Tech Sweden generates revenue through one-time hardware sales of its medical immobilization devices and accessories, operating with a self-serve GTM model where customers select products from the online catalog. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires contact with the sales team. The company maintains a brand presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, with an international distribution reach suggested by a digital world map on the website, though no channel partners or distributor relationships are documented. No funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or named enterprise customers are referenced in available sources.

Med Tech competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Ambu: Danish medical device company known for single-use and disposable medical products including anesthesia, patient monitoring, and EMS-related disposables. Comparable as a publicly traded European medical device peer with overlapping disposable extremity splint products.
- Allied Healthcare Products: US manufacturer of respiratory care, EMS, and hospital equipment with overlap in patient handling and emergency medical products. Broader portfolio but comparable customer segments.
- Laerdal Medical: Global medical device and EMS training company with a portfolio that includes patient handling and immobilization products. Significantly larger and broader, but competes in overlapping EMS use cases.
- Stryker: Large diversified medical device company with a significant EMS, patient handling, and emergency care product portfolio. While not a vacuum-splint specialist, Stryker competes in the broader patient immobilization and transport category.
- Ferno: Global leader in EMS patient handling and transport equipment including stretchers, spine boards, and immobilization devices. Overlaps directly with Med Tech's vacuum spine boards and immobilizers but operates at much broader scale with a full EMS product portfolio.
Direct peers
- Morrison Medical: US manufacturer of EMS equipment including spine boards, head immobilizers, cervical collars, and patient restraint products. Directly comparable product line serving the same EMS and hospital customer base.
- Spencer Italia: Italian manufacturer of EMS and emergency medical equipment including vacuum splints and spinal immobilization devices. Direct product-line peer with comparable European design heritage.
- Hartwell Medical: US-based medical device manufacturer specializing in vacuum splints, vacuum mattresses, and EMS immobilization products. The most direct product-line overlap with Med Tech Sweden's vacuum spine boards, extremity splints, and head immobilizers.
- Medical Devices International (MDI): Manufacturer of vacuum splints, cervical collars, and EMS immobilization devices sold globally. Closely comparable in product mix (vacuum immobilization) and customer base (EMS, hospitals, military).
Emerging players
- Bone Foam: Specialty medical device company focused on patient positioning and immobilization products for surgical and emergency settings. Comparable in niche medical positioning products though with a different primary use case (OR positioning).
