About Us
Links Medical Products Inc. (LMP) develops, manufactures, and distributes innovative nursing and patient care products, as well as diabetic, skin and wound care products for use in acute and long-term care facilities. Additionally, LMP works with distributors in the animal health field.
During the 1980’s Tom Buckley, LMP’s founder, owned and operated Supreme Medical, Inc., a maker and distributor of blood glucose test products, which he later sold. From that experience, Tom recognized a need to provide better, more innovative products for use in long term care. Based on his research of the long term care market, Tom developed and patented the SILENT KNIGHT® tablet crushing system and in 1995, along with his son Patrick, established LMP. Now used by thousands of healthcare professionals in hospitals and nursing homes around the world, LMP’s Silent Knight® system is the preferred method for crushing tablets into powder to aid those with swallowing difficulties.
LMP also provides a number of products to aid diabetic care, including the FORA GD20 blood glucose monitoring system and the One-Care® Pro blood glucose monitoring system for multi-patient use in long-term care settings. In addition, LMP offers One-Care® Safety Lancets, One-Care® Pro Safety Lancets, One-Care® Safety Pen Needles, and One-Care® Safety Syringes. The company’s innovative approach to addressing issues of care has also led to other products designed to aid patients and healthcare providers. They include Chamosyn®, a multi-purpose moisture barrier that protects, treats and moisturizes prone and damaged skin, and the FDA cleared gold-standard for taking accurate body temperature, the LinkTemp® non-contact, infrared thermometer.
More recently, LMP launched a comprehensive line of quality wound care dressings designed to protect wounds and accelerate the healing process for a range of skin and wound conditions. The PIVOT brand offers these dressings in a variety of size and shape options for their calcium alginate, silver alginate and foam border dressings.
LMP continues to innovate for and serve those in need of caring products. If you have questions or would like to discuss products with Links Medical Products, please feel free to send us an email at info@linksmed.com or call our office toll-free at (888) 425-1149.
