About Chamco Products
All our products came into being after we spent time talking to various imaging technicians out in the field about their needs and then created and found products to meet those specific needs.
Chamco products have been proven to work and to last and we stand behind the workmanship of our products for a full year.

Chamco's Background:
Incorporated in 1983, Chamco was a catheter strap positioning device manufacturer, but the company has seen many changes in its years in business. Jim Cummins bought the company in 1990 and soon after was having a CT scan. As he was observing the tech preparing the machine Jim asked, “What do you need to make your job easier?” The tech answered that she needed something to hold the arm completely still in the AP Sagittal position. What she was currently using was not acceptable and still allowed movement. Jim went home and designed a cardboard prototype of a device that he thought might work then took it to an acrylics manufacturer. After creating a device, Jim took it back to the tech. She was thrilled to see it completed and after a few adjustments, Chamco had its first immobilization device for CT.
In the weeks following, other doctors, techs, and radiologists asked Chamco to create specific things for them. It was at this time Jim realized that the Chamco would be much more than a catheter strap company. Many requests were made and products developed over the next few years. Chamco began grew from a small manufacturer of Cath-straps to a larger business with many products for immobilizing and positioning patients for imaging; and all because of a simple question, “What do you need to make your job easier?” Over the years Chamco has continued to meet the needs of the trauma, cardiac cath lab, X-ray, MRI, CT, and other departments in hospitals.
Protection of X-ray cassettes would be the next problem that Chamco would tackle by introducing the Charlie Bag, X-ray cassette protective covers. The Chamco Charlie Bag helps protect X-ray cassettes and X-ray techs and assists in the prevention of the spread of staph, MRSA, and other HAI's. Millions of Charlie bags have been used and continue to be used to help stop contamination and transmission of these infections.
