We started Akro because we believed healthcare professionals shouldn't have to choose between quality and affordability. Medical supplies should be reliable, clinically proven, and accessible — not locked behind institutional purchasing contracts and inflated distributor markups.
Akro Research Supply exists to keep patients comfortable and clinicians equipped. Whether you're managing a skilled nursing facility, running a home health agency, or stocking a small clinic, we provide the same premium-grade medical supplies used in leading hospitals — at prices that make sense for every setting.
We cut out the middlemen that traditionally inflate medical supply costs. Your patients get the best care, and your budget goes further.
Our support team understands clinical workflows. We help you find the right product for the right patient, not just the right SKU.
We carry the brands you already know and trust — Medline, ALLEVYN, BD, Baxter, Coloplast, and more — direct to your door.
Most orders ship within 1-2 business days. Free shipping on orders over $150 because patient care doesn't wait.
Founded in Newport Beach, California, Akro was born out of a firsthand understanding of how difficult it can be for smaller healthcare providers to access the same quality supplies that large hospital systems take for granted. We saw nurses making do with inferior alternatives and administrators spending hours navigating complex purchasing portals.
We built Akro to be different: a straightforward, direct-to-provider medical supply company that combines a modern buying experience with the clinical-grade quality your patients deserve. Today, we serve facilities across the United States, from community nursing homes to home health agencies and outpatient clinics.
Every dressing, glove, and catheter we sell reflects our commitment to patient outcomes, clinician confidence, and operational value. We stand behind every product with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and responsive customer support from people who understand what it means when supplies run short.
Better care starts with better supplies. We're here to make sure you always have what you need.
