LifeSync is a rapidly expanding Florida-based designer, contract manufacturer, and seller of patient monitoring connections and accessories for cardiac and neurological diagnostic markets. LifeSync has grown significantly in recent years, in large part, through the acquisition of established medical product providers. In 2019, LifeSync purchased American Biosurgical Inc. (ABI) and Vital Connections (VC). With the addition of ABI, LifeSync now offers comprehensive, cost-effective contract manufacturing services for OEM monitoring companies. VC provides unique design and manufacturing capabilities built around highly specialized materials and processes. VC also expands LifeSync’s radiolucent lead wire portfolio—a growing category that enables efficient throughput for patients undergoing imaging procedures like MRIs. ABI and VC join three other market-leading companies acquired since 2012 by LifeSync’s owner, HealthEdge Investment Partners. These successful strategic acquisitions allow LifeSync to deliver components that fit all monitoring systems—standardization that streamlines care, increases efficiency, and reduces costs. Today, LifeSync is a top provider of disposable ECG lead wires, which support key infection prevention initiatives. LifeSync is well-positioned to meet the increasing demands for monitoring in both existing categories like cardiac care and emerging areas, such as sleep science and wireless healthcare delivery. With more than 1,300 employees and operations in the U.S., Mexico, and China, LifeSync directly serves hospitals and health systems, and provides full contract manufacturing capabilities for diagnostic/monitoring device makers worldwide.
