Our Mission
"To provide the Health Care
Community quality products at reasonable prices for patient comfort.".
Company Profile
The Tetra Company was founded
in Chicago, IL, in a single office on the second floor at 350 N. Clark
Street, in 1913 with one product - "The TETRA Bandage" - an all
cotton bandage that derived its "stretch" by twisting the threads very tightly. A
rubber-reinforced bandage line was added in the 50's and remained the company's
only product line for ten years.
In 1967, Tetra began adding
additional products, namely rib belts, anti-embolism stockings, denture and
specimen cups and so on, to the catalog that we are pleased to present to you
today. Today our product line is
as diverse as our customers, which include: Hospitals, Surgeons, Podiatrists,
Chiropractors, Departments of Correction, Sports Rehabilitation, Sports
Teams, Occupational and Physical Therapists, Massage Therapists, Fire Departments,
Industrial Offices, Federal, State, City and County Offices.

Softgoods to Emergency Supplies and Therapy Items,
we can serve your needs.
We maintain a 98%+ fill rate
and are centrally located so that your products arrive when YOU need them.
