Dunbar Medical Supplies McDavid Orthopedic Braces and Supports to Canadian Pharmacies Nationwide
Dunbar Medical is pleased to announce that, effective July 1st, 2016, it has been appointed as a supplier of McDavid products to Canadian pharmacies nationwide. This appointment brings one of the most famous names in sports medicine — and one of the finest lines of orthopedic braces and supports available anywhere — to pharmacy shelves from coast to coast.
A Legacy of Innovation in Orthopedic Braces and Supports
The McDavid name is one of the most famous in the field of sports medicine, and its history is closely tied to the evolution of the orthopedic braces and supports that athletes and patients rely on today. The father of the company’s founder, Dr. Robert F. McDavid, created the first lateral knee brace in 1969 — a landmark moment in the development of modern bracing technology.
The company was founded in 1980 and today produces some of the finest equipment available, including compression sleeves, orthopedic braces and supports, athletic tape and much more. McDavid was also one of the first companies to produce single hinge braces as opposed to the double hinge design sold by most of its competitors — an innovation that helped shape the direction of brace design across the industry.
For Canadian pharmacies, the appointment of Dunbar Medical as a nationwide supplier means access to this remarkable heritage of innovation, delivered through a partner known for its own expertise and exceptional customer service.
Why Orthopedic Braces and Supports Matter
The company’s braces have been used in the rehabilitation of joint injuries in both athletes and non-athletes. The braces keep the injured tendons, muscles, or ligaments from enduring undue stress — a critical function during recovery, when protecting healing tissue from further strain can mean the difference between a full return to activity and a prolonged setback.
Orthopedic braces and supports serve a wide range of needs:
- Injury rehabilitation — stabilizing joints and protecting healing tendons, muscles, and ligaments from undue stress
- Injury prevention — providing support and proprioceptive feedback during demanding activity
- Chronic condition management — offering ongoing stability for patients with joint instability or degenerative conditions
- Post-surgical recovery — supporting protected movement and gradual return to function
- Everyday comfort — compression sleeves and supports that help active Canadians stay comfortable and mobile
Because McDavid’s orthopedic braces and supports are used by both athletes and non-athletes, they are a natural fit for the pharmacy setting. Pharmacists serve patients across the full spectrum of activity levels — from competitive athletes managing an injury to seniors looking for everyday joint support — and McDavid’s product range addresses all of them.
What This Means for Canadian Pharmacies
Prior to this appointment, Canadian pharmacies looking to stock premium orthopedic braces and supports faced a patchwork of sourcing options. With Dunbar Medical now serving as a nationwide supplier of McDavid products, pharmacies gain a single, reliable point of contact for one of the most respected brands in the category.
Dunbar Medical’s national sales team is available to support pharmacies with product selection, ordering, and ongoing service. Pharmacies can stock McDavid products with confidence, knowing they are backed by a supplier with deep expertise in sports medicine and a reputation for exceptionally high levels of customer service and support.
For patients, the benefit is equally clear: easier access to high-quality orthopedic braces and supports at their local pharmacy, without the need to seek out specialty retailers or order online.
