Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare announced today the official launch of its new brand, "Inspired by Drive™".

The brand is inspired by children with special needs, and is fueled by the traditions of the Drive family of companies. "Inspired by Drive™" joins the Columbia Medical, Specialised Orthotic Services (U.K.) and Wenzelite Rehab brands into one, and together they represent over 70 years of Pediatric Rehab experience.

"Inspired by Drive™" is dedicated to manufacturing innovative, clinically sound positioning and mobility products, designed to enhance a child’s ability to engage, play, and participate in daily living.

"Making a difference for families of children with special needs matters to us," said Matt Lawrence, VP & General Manager of Inspired by Drive. "The grace, love, and determination of special needs families gave birth to our new brand's name and motivate our vision of the "Inspired by Drive™" product line."

The brand's initial focus is on products for alternative positioning, mobility, bathing and toileting. Future plans include expansion into complex rehabilitation product lines.

The headquarters for "Inspired by Drive™" is located in Sante Fe Springs, CA. "Inspired by Drive™" products are sold and distributed around the globe.
