Metro Medical

What Metro Medical does

Metro Medical is a privately held durable medical equipment (DME) provider founded in 2015 and headquartered at 8300 Arlington Boulevard, Suite B-1, Fairfax, Virginia. The company supplies post-operative orthopedic recovery devices to patients across Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC, operating a door-to-door service model that includes equipment delivery, in-home training, post-surgery follow-up, and scheduled retrieval once treatment concludes. Revenue is generated by renting or selling hardware and billing workers compensation carriers, private insurance providers, and self-pay patients at undisclosed but affordable rates.

The product portfolio centers on thermal compression therapy (VascuTherm 2, 4, and 5), continuous passive motion for knee rehabilitation (Flex-Mate K500), sustained acoustic medicine (sam Pro 2.0, developed with NIH and US Army funding), and sequential compression for DVT prophylaxis (PlasmaFlow). Metro Medical does not manufacture these devices; it distributes ThermoTek-manufactured VascuTherm systems and third-party products under regional distribution arrangements. The core VascuTherm platform uses solid-state thermal technology that eliminates the need for ice and combines heating/cooling with pneumatic compression to address pain, swelling, and DVT risk.

The go-to-market is sales-led and service-intensive: the company captures demand through its website, a published phone line, and referrals from healthcare providers and surgical centers, then dispatches staff to deliver, set up, and train patients. There is no disclosed pricing, no public ownership structure, no parent company, and no institutional funding rounds. The company appears to be founder-operated with 11 to 50 employees, no patents or certifications listed, and no documented M&A, leadership changes, or regulatory actions beyond the FDA recognition of its supplier's technology.
