ABOUT
Sash Medical was established in 2007 by a Professional Medical Regional Sales Manager to fill a noticeable and consistent void in the Chicagoland territory of highly trained independent surgical sales representatives.
Our goal is to focus on manufacturers who primarily produce products that are designed for use in the O.R. Utilizing our existing contacts with key physicians and hospital staff, we have developed a proven track record of sales success for a number of specialty surgical product lines.
