Broad incumbents

• US Med-Equip: Rents and sells refurbished patient monitoring and respiratory equipment to hospitals. Overlaps with NWS patient-monitor and respiratory inventory categories at greater scale.

• TRIMEDX: Healthcare technology management company handling medical equipment servicing, refurbishment, and lifecycle management. Adjacent incumbent in the same healthcare equipment ecosystem serving provider customers.

Emerging players
