Distribution Unlimited, operating as DU Medical, is a Peoria, Arizona-based, physician-owned medical supply manufacturer and distributor serving healthcare facilities nationwide across the United States. The company operates a B2B sales-led model targeting clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, hospitals, and other healthcare providers, with order capture via an e-commerce storefront (shopping cart, quick order pad, request quote) and a direct sales team reachable through toll-free and local phone lines plus email.

The company's core offering is a proprietary DU Medical product line consisting of over 100 manufactured SKUs spanning disposable medical apparel, clinical laboratory supplies, diagnostic instruments, wound care, PPE, IV supplies, sterilization, and other categories.

The company has approximately 15 employees, no disclosed parent company, no institutional investor involvement, and no public-company indicators. As of 2026, the company is operating with a stated focus on core items, with a gradual product discontinuation program for non-core SKUs and a clearance pricing initiative.

Direct peers

• Concordance Healthcare Solutions: Mid-sized independent medical supply distributor serving hospitals, ASCs, and clinics across the U.S. Most directly comparable mid-market competitor to DU Medical in scale, go-to-market, and product mix.
• Medline Industries: Largest privately held medical supply manufacturer and distributor in the U.S., serving hospitals, ASCs, and clinics across virtually the same disposable and clinical categories DU Medical covers (gloves, PPE, drapes, dressings, instruments). Directly comparable business model combining proprietary manufacturing with wholesale distribution.

Broad incumbents

• Cardinal Health Medical: Major medical distributor with a medical-surgical segment that supplies hospitals and ambulatory centers with the same disposables DU Medical offers. Comparable broad-line distribution model but with substantially greater scale, GPO contracts, and logistics infrastructure.
• McKesson Medical-Surgical: Dominant U.S. medical-surgical distributor serving hospitals, ASCs, and clinics with the same disposable product categories (PPE, gloves, IV, wound care). Demonstrates the scale ceiling DU Medical faces and the GPO-driven competitive dynamics of the segment.
• Henry Schein: Public Fortune-500 distributor of medical, dental, and office supplies to clinics and ASCs. Operates a similar B2B distribution model with a broader catalog and well-developed e-commerce platform, representing the scaled version of DU Medical's go-to-market.
• Owens & Minor: Medical supply distributor focused on acute care and post-acute providers, including hospitals and ASCs. Comparable product breadth (wound care, gloves, drapes, instruments) and direct-sales model; differs in scale and in its Patient Direct home-health segment.

Regional players

• Mohawk Medical Mall: North American medical supply distributor focused on healthcare facilities, overlapping in disposable medical product categories. Cited as an example of comparable mid-tier distribution competitors in the same space; web presence is limited so the root domain is not confirmed.
• American Medical Supplies (AMS): U.S. medical/surgical supply distributor serving clinics, surgery centers, and hospitals with comparable disposable product categories (PPE, gloves, wound care, instruments). Relevant mid-market comparator, though no primary domain is confidently identifiable.

Emerging players

• IMCO (Independent Medical Cooperative): Member-owned cooperative of independent medical distributors offering product contracting, marketing, and group purchasing support. Relevant comparable for the mid-tier independent distributor model DU Medical operates within.
• NDC (National Distribution & Contracting): Independent medical/surgical distributor representing a network of regional distributors serving hospitals and clinics. Comparable in offering disposables and clinical supplies, but operates through affiliate distributors rather than a single storefront.
