Biomed Starts Biomedical Engineering Patch Company

A number of years ago Tom Citak saw a need that needed filling and decided to fill it by starting the TC Biomedical Company.

TC Biomedical specializes in the development and production of Biomed Patches and Apparel.

Tom’s career began as a biomedical equipment technician 25 years ago. He worked as a bench technician for 16 years before being promoted to managing a clinical engineering department for a community hospital. As a technician, He felt there never seemed to be enough recognition for the biomeds and the work they accomplish in repair, calibrating and sometimes modifying the many components of medical equipment service. Biomeds were available 24×7 to provide service to the various departments that keep a hospital running such as Intensive Care, Telemetry, Operating Room, Emergency Department, Labor & Delivery, Med-Surg Floors, Laboratory, Respiratory Therapy, Physical Therapy and more. To be a skilled biomed means Biomeds must have the expertise and knowledge to repair a very wide range of medical equipment ranging in electronics, electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, plumbing and hydraulics. From devices such as suction gauges to diagnostic imaging equipment. A good combination of electronics background and mechanical ability is a rare find and something a qualified biomedical technician will possess.

When he became a supervisor, he gave himself the challenge to provide more insight into this exciting and ever-changing field. It began with his efforts with the Governors office that declared a special week dedicated to the individuals who work in the biomedical field. He furthered his efforts to introduce this profession to a local vocational high school using a career day presentation to meet with students enrolled in electronics, computer and health occupations. Continuing on, he decided upon an emblem and worked closely with an artist to create a design that would give an impressive and dynamic appearance to embolden the biomedical field and give recognition to these individuals. Tome has since been delivering these patches nationwide to hospitals, colleges and biomedical service companies.
