Inspired by Drive (formerly Columbia Medical)

Inspired by Drive - Columbia Medical

Inspired by your family and fueled by the tradition of Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare, Inspired by Drive merges Columbia Medical and Wenzelite Rehab into one brand with over 50 combined years of Pediatric Rehab history.

Drive DeVilbiss, a world leader in respiratory medical products for patients in institutional and homeware settings was originally founded by the man who, in the 1880’s, invented the first atomiser. The founder later orchestrated the merging of no less than three veteran rehabilitation brands, namely Columbia Medical, Specialized Orthotic Services and Wenzelite Re/hab, in 2017. The result is a brand loving known as Inspired By Drive (Drive Medical), a name which, according to the brand, is fuelled by the rich tradition of drive deVilbiss but inspired by special needs children, themselves.

We, at tadpoleadaptive.com, pride ourselves on distributing only brands with a passion for improving the quality of life of the end user and Inspired By Drive is just such a brand. Inspired By Drive’s passion, however, does not stop at the end user or special needs child, teen or young adult, because Inspired By Drive understands the willing sacrifices and hard work involved in being a carer or parent to one of these precious children. So often, adaptive gear designers fail to take the daily life of the CARER into consideration…but not so with Drive Medical or Inspired by Drive, who’s added focus on hassle free adjustment and saving time for the carer speak volumes about the extent of their passion.

This Santa Fe based brand recognises the grace, love and determination of special needs families and, with more than half a century of paediatric rehab experience behind them, you can rest assured your child will be treated to the highest quality, with no holds barred when it comes to providing the best experience for you both.
