MedTech Solutions Group overview

MTSG was founded in 2018 by 3 MedTech Executives with over 75 years in combined experience and success in globally commercializing medical devices that improved patient outcomes, lowered costs of care, and in several cases, changed the way healthcare is practiced.

Completing the Leadership Team are 5 regionally based Executives, 2 of which have worked with the founders over the last 25 years, and our Office Manager / Executive Assistant. The majority of the MTSG Team came together at KCI in 1995 to Launch VAC Therapy, and create the now $2B Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Category.

Prior to, and since the KCI experience, the MTSG team has a proven history both individually and together, of launching new technologies and growing brands with multiple types of wound and skin care technologies, and other disposable and capital equipment medical devices.

Over the years, the MTSG team has learned how to overcome the challenges of marketing and selling medical devices in different regions and countries around the word. As a result, MedTech Solutions Group was founded to provide medical device manufacturers with an option to contract with an experienced team already in place around the world to accelerate the international revenue growth of your brand(s).

The MedTech Solutions Group provides a one-stop solution for your international medical device commercialization needs. We work with our clients to 1) define their international commercialization objectives; 2) develop their International marketing, sales, and clinical strategies; and 3) execute and manage their international commercialization plan for existing brands or new technologies at a country level.
