Healthcraft Products Inc.
HealthCraft Products Inc., is a young and dynamic Canadian
company founded to design and manufacture highly
innovative home medical equipment that enable elderly and
physically challenged persons the option to live
independently in their homes.
Based in Gloucester (Ottawa), Ontario, HealthCraft was
founded in 1994 by a group of individuals with over 50
years of combined experience in home medical equipment.
The key personnel of the company bring backgrounds in the
areas of durable medical equipment retailing, occupational
therapy, and engineering design.
HealthCraft was founded to realize the development of
several product concepts based on direct feedback and
comments from thousands of patients, care-givers and
dealers who use or work with home medical equipment. As
a result, HealthCraft has a strong consumer oriented
vantage point as to the requirements and viability of new
home medical products.
The company`s initial product is known as ``The SuperPole
System``. The SuperPole is a (patented) modular support
system which provides standing, and transferring assistance
to the elderly and physically challenged. The unique nature
and clean design of the SuperPole system has helped propel
it quickly to the number one selling transfer aid of its type in
Canada as well as being honoured with the coveted best
new product honours at the industry leading trade show,
MEDTRADE.
One of HealthCraft`s key assets is their award winning ``D-
TEAM`` design group. Supporting the design group is an
in-house fully equipped prototyping machine shop, cycle
testing lab, computer aided design, and desktop publishing
equipment.
HealthCraft`s products are distributed in Canada and the
USA through a growing base of retail dealers. HealthCraft
is currently working to launch several new products through
1998, and secure international distributorship agreements in
Europe and Japan.
