Ultraray Medical

What Ultraray Medical does

Ultraray Medical is a Canadian manufacturer and distributor headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, specializing in custom radiation protection products and medical imaging equipment. Founded around 1985 and operating with approximately 13 employees, the company serves hospitals, clinics, dental practices, and veterinary facilities across Canada and self-describes as the largest single focused national health imaging distributor in the country. Its product portfolio spans custom-manufactured radiation shielding (lead aprons, thyroid collars, mobile barriers), personal dosimetry (including the SmartID line introduced in 2016), and value-added distribution of complementary imaging accessories and equipment from third-party manufacturers including Ibiom, Biodex, Allcraft Wellman, and Beekley Medical.

The company's underlying technology stack combines custom garment and barrier manufacturing (cut-and-sew radiation shielding with lead-equivalent materials) with Health Canada-regulated distribution of finished medical imaging devices. Ultraray holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and operates under a Medical Establishment License, which together function as the regulatory backbone of the business. Sister divisions extend operations into radiation therapy and oncology, leveraging the same customer base and regulatory posture to enter adjacent clinical segments.

Revenue is generated through two complementary motions: direct sale of custom-manufactured radiation protection products, and margin-based distribution of third-party imaging and positioning accessories. Go-to-market relies on a Canadian field sales force selling into institutional healthcare buyers; pricing is project- and product-specific, with recurring replacement demand driven by radiation safety program requirements and dosimetry cycles. No subscription, SaaS, or recurring-services pricing model is disclosed.
