About Columbia Medical

Company Info
Columbia Medical began in 1978 when a scientist and inventor named Dr. Michael Caan took a friend’s advice and went into a niche market of products for children with disabilities. Dr. Caan realized the lack of quality products to assist children with multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and spinal cord injuries so he launched a series of products to aid in toileting, bathing and mobility, including the Therapedic™ Positioning Restraint System.

Today, Columbia Medical has grown to become the premier provider of quality innovative products that enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities. Over the years, our principles have remained the same:

1. Always listen to the customer and assign the highest priority to customer satisfaction
2. Continually strive to maintain a commitment to quality in all product and service offerings

Actively foster a positive work environment that recognizes and rewards achievement and treats people with dignity, trust and respect.
