Our Story
When TZ Medical founder, Tom Tribou, sat planning his new company in a Portland coffee shop in 1990,
he made two bedrock decisions. The first was that TZ Medical would turn the paradigm of medical equipment manufacturing on its head
by taking the time to listen to medical professionals on the front lines, and find out what they needed, before huddling with its
own engineers. The second decision was that pricing should be at the value level, to ensure that these bright ideas would make their
way into the hands of critical-care medical professionals faster.
Over the years these ideals have served the company well. What was once a small collection of critical-care
devices has grown into a whole family of medical products, sparked by your ideas. With products sold across the nation and all over the world,
TZ Medical has built a solid reputation for itself on the first two decisions laid out in the company’s infancy.
Today, the TZ Medical team is recognized as a group that creates products based on input from professionals in
the some of the finest medical facilities throughout the world. These innovative health professionals have often helped supply the missing piece
of a puzzle, revealed the essence of a problem, or posed the perfect “what if” question in order to help solve a dilemma, and facilitate practical
solutions.
Between our dedication to listening, and our firm belief in affordable pricing, it’s no wonder that TZ Medical
has been, and will continue to be, a lasting leader in the medical device manufacturing world.
