Axiom® Medical, Inc., established in 1976, is a woman-owned and operated business. It manufactures and distributes an entire line of silicone extruded wound drains as well as precision extrusions for other industries. Axiom® Medical, Inc. has its headquarters in Torrance, CA, and distributes internationally as well as domestically. Recognizing the inherent problems associated with existing wound drainage technology, Axiom® Medical, Inc. became the first fully silicone medical device-manufacturer. Axiom® went on to introduce ClotStop® coating that increases lubricity and further reduces tissue irritation and vascular damage, as an industry exclusive. ClotStop® coating is held as an exclusive worldwide, placing Axiom® Medical, Inc. in a state-of-the-art position within the industry. Along with the manufacturing and distributing of silicone extruded wound drains, Axiom® Medical has created a reputation for precision and quality that has drawn the attention of customers (such as the military and aeronautical firms), requiring detailed extrusions maintaining tight specifications. Over the last few years, Axiom® has needed expansion to satisfy the increasing demands of both non-medical customers and other larger medical device companies.
