DM Marks 30 Years

EVANSTON, Ill.–DM Systems was founded in 1979 when Denis
Drennan, an orthopedic surgeon, could not find a quality product on
the market to treat pressure ulcers. His solution was to design a
soft foam boot that would suspend the heel to promote a
pressure-free environment. Thirty years later, the company’s
Heelift Suspension Boot continues to be used in health care
facilities worldwide.
 
“Pressure ulcers are relevant today as they were 30 years ago, and
I expect to see much more growth in the future, especially with the
new CMS guidelines that don’t cover pressure ulcers anymore,” said
Drennan, DM President.
 
Marking the company’s 30th anniversary this year, Donna
Schwartz, vice president of operations, added, “It’s a huge
achievement to stay in business for so long. We’ve grown from an
idea in Dr. Drennan’s head to a global brand name and we intend to
continue this growth.”
 
In addition to wound care, DM Systems offers a line of
rehabilitation and casting products.
