180 Medical’s Story
Meet Todd Brown, Our Founder
In 1994, I was injured in a motocross accident that left me paralyzed from the chest down. In an instant, my life changed forever.
While in rehab, I learned how to get around in a wheelchair and, since my spinal cord injury impacted my bladder, I had to learn how to use catheters, too. Back then, it was more common to be taught just to wash and reuse catheters, so that’s what I did. But almost right away, I started getting back-to-back urinary tract infections.
That first year was almost too much to handle. I was tired and frustrated. Medical supply companies weren’t much help, and there wasn’t a lot of information online back then. I didn’t know any other way. I figured this was just going to be my new reality.
Luckily, I met some friends also in wheelchairs. They introduced me to sterile-use catheters designed to help reduce the risk of UTIs, and that’s when everything changed for me.
But I realized something that stuck with me. I should not have had to find out about better options by chance. That experience is what led me to start 180 Medical. I wanted to create a supply company where people could get the quality products they need with support from a team that actually cares.
Today, 180 Medical’s mission remains the same. If you’re looking for high-quality supplies and the kind of service that turns lives around, I invite you to contact 180 Medical.
