The decision to go independent is rarely made lightly.
You step out from under a manufacturer to take control – of your business, your income, your time. You want the freedom to build something that reflects your standards and your relationships. And for a while, it works.
Until it starts to feel like every hour of your day is spent doing someone else’s job.
You’re managing trays, tracking down billing issues, calling reps at 5 a.m. to cover a case in a different city, negotiating contracts without leverage, and fielding surgeon frustrations when things go sideways. You’re constantly switching hats—from operator to customer service to sales rep—and barely have time to focus on what actually grows the business.
It’s not that independence was the wrong choice.
It’s that the infrastructure around you didn’t grow with you.
The New Era of Medical Device Distribution
At Leap, we believe in independent distributors. But we also believe that independence shouldn’t mean you’re left solving everything on your own.
The traditional medical device sales model isn’t built to support reps who want to scale without selling out. And the reality is, the more reps try to scale solo, the more fragmented and overwhelming things become. Logistics fall through the cracks, supplier relationships become strained, and even your best surgeon relationships can suffer when the system around you can’t keep up.
That’s why we’ve built something different.
A national distribution network that empowers you with the tools, leverage, and infrastructure of a large organization, all while preserving the autonomy that made you go independent in the first place.
What Happens When You Stop Going It Alone
Joining Leap doesn’t mean giving up your identity. It means gaining resources that allow you to operate like the professional you are, not the patchwork system you’ve been forced to build.
01. Better Infrastructure
From CRM to inventory management, from POs to payment – Leap gives you access to operational systems designed specifically for independent distributors. No more juggling spreadsheets, emails, and texts to run your business. You get real tools, under one roof.
02. Stronger Product Portfolio
We don’t force a single manufacturer’s line. Instead, we help you build a portfolio of innovative medical devices that actually align with your surgeons’ needs. You maintain your product expertise and clinical integrity, while we help you access better deals, onboarding, and support.
03. Leverage at the Table
Alone, it’s tough to negotiate with large suppliers. Inside Leap’s medical device distribution network, you gain the volume and influence of a national player – meaning stronger contracts, better pricing, and real negotiating power. We advocate for you at the table so you can focus on relationships.
04. Human Support
We’re not a call center. We’re a team of former reps, operators, and supply chain leaders who understand the world you live in. Whether you need help onboarding a new surgeon or fixing a supply chain snag, we’re in it with you…all without red tape or hierarchy.
Why Does It Matter?
We’re entering a new era in the industry. Surgeons rightfully expect more. Hospitals are being forced into tighter contracts. Suppliers want performance and alignment. And reps who used to scrape by on hustle alone are now facing a critical decision:
Keep operating in isolation or plug into a shared system built to scale.
Leap gives you the best of both worlds:
- The freedom to run your business your way
- The support to make it easier
- The platform to make it bigger
