Made in Maumee, Used Around the World: The Local Company Building Medical Devices for 40+ Years
Some of the medical tools used by clinicians around the world start right here in Maumee.
Bionix, a medical-device company headquartered at 1670 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee, OH 43537, has been in business for more than 40 years — and it is still growing.
The company was founded in 1984 by Andrew Milligan PhD, a radiation oncology professor at the Medical College of Ohio at Toledo, and James Huttner MD, PhD, a practicing pediatrician.
Bionix makes single-patient-use medical products, including ClearLook lighted ear curettes, OtoClear ear-irrigation systems, disposable nasal speculums, and suture-removal kits, serving domestic and international markets.
The company has filed 15 patents. Its president and CEO is Chris Becker.
Bionix recently launched a Rechargeable Light Source for ClearLook lighted ear curettes and contracted with Polymer Medical (NY) to build out its supply chain (Oct 2025).
13abc featured the company today (Nov 9/10): “Maumee-based company sells its medical devices around the world.”
