Our History

Nothing is Ever Achieved Without Passion.

Founded in 1922, Trudell Medical International has spent nearly a century learning, refining and offering innovative products that make our customers lives better.

Over the last few decades in particular, our work to meet the previously unmet needs of our patients and caregivers has found Trudell Medical International receiving both acclaim and trust.
