Job description
About the Role
SedMed is a Connecticut-based medical device manufacturer looking to partner with experienced independent sales reps who want to add the SedMed Toilet Lift Assist to their portfolio. The device is already in use in acute care hospitals, inpatient rehab, skilled nursing, long-term care, and senior living communities.
Product Overview
Nursing teams help patients on and off the toilet every day. It's a transfer where patients can fall, and staff can get hurt while lifting. The SedMed Toilet Lift Assist uses non-electric hydraulics to support people as they sit and stand. It accommodates users from 75 to 600 pounds, with adjustable assistance based on each person's weight, needs, and ability. It takes about 15 minutes to assemble and replaces the existing toilet seat in about two minutes using two bolts. It's easy to clean and maintain and requires no construction or electrical work. Once installed, it's ready whenever it's needed, helping protect the patient from falls, protect the staff from lifting injuries, and protect the organization from the costs that come with both.
SedMed is used in hospitals, rehab facilities, senior living communities, and at home, so care teams can use it during rehab and consider it for home support as part of discharge planning. A hands-on demo lets nursing teams see how it supports both patients and the staff assisting them.
Partner with SedMed
If you already sell into these settings, SedMed gives you a practical reason to talk with nursing leadership, rehab, patient safety, and safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) teams about a problem they deal with every day and the costs that come with it.
You know your territory and which facilities could benefit. Our Connecticut-based direct sales team supports and collaborates with our partners.

Company overview
SedMed Inc. is a Connecticut-based medical device company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Milford. The company designs and manufactures the SedMed Toilet Lift Assist, an FDA-registered Class I, non-electric, gas-spring toilet-mounted lift that helps users with sit-to-stand transfers during toileting. The device supports up to roughly 80% of a user's body weight, requires no motors, batteries, wiring, or power outlets, and is low-maintenance and easy to clean. SedMed's products serve older adults, post-surgical patients, and people with limited lower-extremity strength, and are used across home care, skilled-nursing facilities, and rehabilitation settings. The company originated from a University of Connecticut senior design project and has since reached mass production, raising early-stage funding and winning startup pitch competitions. SedMed positions itself as a mobility-assistance and fall-prevention technology provider, with ambitions to expand into broader activities-of-daily-living (ADL) solutions for the aging population.
