Brown Medical Industries, Inc.

Since 1965, Brown Medical Industries, in the heartland of the United States, has been designing and manufacturing quality, innovative orthopaedic and podiatric products for distribution worldwide. The well-respected product line includes the innovative SEAL-TIGHT cast and bandage protectors; the historically strong-selling Plastalume finger, hand, arm and leg splints; the comfortable WrisTimer carpal tunnel supports; and the practical Soft Stride shoe inserts. Exciting new items include the incredible line of products to treat heel pain: night splints like N'ice Stretch, Stretch X, Comfort X and Cool Stretch, offering varying degrees of relief. Some even offer removable ice therapy, and toe wedges for greater stretch. The Steady Step Walker is a walking fracture orthosis that is light, and offers a comfortable yet supportive framework as a replacement for casting distal tibial fractures and severe ankle sprains. Other products in the Steady Step line offer a variety of solutions to foot and ankle problems, including ankle braces, stirrups, toe splints, heel pain relief and shin splint compression supports. The Steady Strider for foot drop is a unique and comfortable solution for those with this debilitating condition. Products in the SoftStride line include the very rare, ultimate quality 100% visco elastic polymer shoe inserts that can effectively and affordably bridge the gap between foot, leg and back pain and fabricated orthotics. The Steady Grip line includes WrisTimer, a unique daytime support for carpal tunnel syndrome which leave the fingers free. Its complementary night time product is called WrisTimer PM, and it features an embedded splint on the dorsal side of the hand, leaving the palmer side of the hand free. Other products in this line include the Flex 8, an elbow support that wraps in a figure 8, and the Tennis Elbow Strap, which helps relieve painful lateral epicondylitis. Dr. Ivan Brown invented the Plastalume Digital splint in 1965, and it remains a stable, quality finger splint made of foam, vinyl and aluminum. Other finger splints available include Frogs, Protectors, Cots, Baseballs, Spoons, Stax Mallets and Strip Splints. Arm and leg splints fill out the Plastalume line, with Cockups, Colles, Mason Allen, Metacarpal, Elbow, Tibia, Fubula and Femur Splints. Brown Medical Industries recently successfully launched its Surgical Instruments line of products, which now includes the Joint Distractor. This is a stainless steel instrument which distracts the small joints in the foot, offering the surgeon greater control with both distraction and retraction. The Joint Distractor provides 53% greater exposure and 25% more distance, resulting in a reduction in surgery time and a reduction in the rate of non-union during arthrodesis. Unlike competitors, Joint Distractor does not collapse the joint nor close unexpectedly. In fact, since it cranks the joint both open and closed, it can be used as a temporary fixation device. Brown Medical Industries provides distributors solid marketing support, including posters, brochures, web site contacts, sales data, marketing research, trade show leads, web-based training and unparalleled customer support with a single point of contact. Brown Medical Industries seeks additional quality distributors to join its team of professionals and help continue impressive sales growth over the past 43 years.
