Kinex is a provider of FDA approved Phase I post-operative orthopedic rehabilitation products and services. Kinex is one of the largest recognized providers in the industry and maintains contracts with many of the largest insurance companies in the United States. Kinex distributes its products through an extensive network of exclusive distributors nationwide. Rehab is Kinex’s largest distributor in the Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa regions. Rehab works directly with physicians and patients to provide rehabilitation products to the patient’s home following orthopedic surgical procedures. Kinex R&M has two locations in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area; seven leased facilities in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and North Carolina; and multiple storage facilities located throughout the country.
