Founded in 1971 in Fairfax, Virginia, KOL is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned specialty distributor committed to bringing emerging medical technologies to the market. For three decades our highly trained and experienced sales force has helped pioneer and introduce advanced medical devices to hospitals and clinicians throughout the Eastern United States.

Our business model is to seek out and partner with the most ethical and innovative client manufacturers who have a strong desire to enhance the healthcare value chain by improving patient health and/or dramatically reducing costs in the system. By establishing partnerships with those companies, KOL has succeeded as a singular, innovative entity comfortable in marketing the latest technological advances.

Whether an institution is an avowed "early adopter" or one simply committed to providing exemplary care, KOL Salespeople are skilled in education; and because technological advances as well as clinician practice patterns can evolve quickly, KOL's adaptability serves customer and client well.

Most importantly, our goals are to care for our customers, and establish our client manufacturers as market leaders helping to establishing standards of care. Some examples of our past and present successes are:

• Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring (Tektronix/Spacelabs)
• Heart Valves (St. Jude)
• Membrane Oxygenators For Open Heart Surgery (SciMed)
• Centrifugal Pump for Open Heart Surgery (Biomedicus)
• Solid State and REM Electrosurgery Generators (Valleylab, Megadyne)
• Leukocyte Reduction and Critical Care Filtration Technology (Pall Medical)
• Sensor Tip Intrauterine Pressure Catheters (Clinical Innovations)
• Low Profile Vacuum Extraction Devices (Clinical Innovations)

Today KOL continues to learn, educate, market, sell and distribute. We have always sought to establish industry benchmarks in ethics, efficiency, customer service and client trust. We never forget that on a combined geographic basis our hospital customer base represents 40% of the U.S. Market and we must strive to serve the congruent needs of our manufacturers and customers.
