About Drive Medical
Drive Medical was founded in 2000 and is headquartered at 99 Seaview Boulevard in Port Washington, New York. The company manufactures more than 5,000 durable medical equipment products across mobility, respiratory, bathroom safety, patient room, and personal care categories, with products used in over 100 countries. In 2015, Drive Medical acquired DeVilbiss Healthcare, a respiratory care innovator dating to 1888, and operated for a time as Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare before returning to the original Drive Medical brand name across all markets. Manufacturing is certified to ISO 13485:2016 and covered under the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP), with EC certification for European compliance.
In our own testing, Drive Medical products earned a place across nearly every mobility and bathroom-safety category we cover, from rollator walkers and transport wheelchairs to toilet seat risers, grab bars, bath lifts, shower chairs, crutches, and canes. The Drive Medical Rollator Walker with 7.5-Inch Wheels is our top overall pick in that category, backed by more than 50,000 verified Amazon reviews, the deepest review record of any rollator we evaluated. Across the lineup, Drive Medical consistently paired an accessible price point with the parts availability and hospital-supply pedigree that comes from being one of the largest durable medical equipment manufacturers in the United States.
