About Us
Founded in 1984 by William and Gena Rutledge in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Rutledge Medical has built a long-standing reputation as a trusted sales organization representing some of the most forward-thinking medical technology companies in the world. Over the years, our work on the human healthcare side has spanned a diverse range of specialties—including patient monitoring, cardiovascular rhythm management, orthopedic implants, ultrasound, digital radiography, and blood component technologies.
In 1991, we entered the field of endoscopy by becoming the official sales organization for Pentax Medical in Oklahoma, Western Arkansas, and Northwest Texas. This marked a significant evolution in our journey, bringing advanced imaging solutions to the forefront of our expertise.
Recognizing a major gap in veterinary imaging, Rutledge Medical made a strategic pivot in 2021 to focus exclusively on veterinary endoscopy. We saw an opportunity to bring modern, high-definition visualization to an underserved sector—and have since dedicated ourselves to delivering specialized tools, training, and technology to elevate diagnostic capabilities in animal healthcare. Our mission today is clear: to make endoscopy more accessible, practical, and effective for veterinary professionals across North and Central America. Growing into Europe in 2025.
A collective of more than 200 years of endoscopy experience with our team.

Working Toward Change
It's About The Relationships...
We Design user-friendly, portable diagnostic tools, empowering veterinarians to perform on-site, accurate assessments. This approach fosters a collaborative, hands-on partnership, revolutionizing the provider-vendor relationship in veterinary healthcare. Nothing To Us Is Transactional, It’s Personal.
We prioritizes transparency, offering in-depth training and support for their diagnostic tools, fostering a culture of constant improvement. Because of the face-to-face feedback we receive from our customers and prospective customers alike. By enabling precise, on-the-spot diagnosis, we empower providers to make informed decisions, ultimately building trust by consistently delivering reliable solutions for improved patient outcomes.
Support And Empower Veterinary Education
Foster The Next Generation
The global shortage of veterinarians poses a critical challenge due to increasing demands for animal care. Veterinary colleges around the globe struggle to meet the escalating need for graduates, exacerbating the scarcity. This shortage significantly impacts specialized veterinary fields like internal medicine or surgery, leading to gaps in specialized care. Nowhere is this more prevalent than in equine medicine. It restricts access to crucial expertise, prolongs waiting times for appointments, and burdens existing veterinarians with overwhelming caseloads.
Addressing this crisis requires collaborative efforts among educational institutions, policymakers, and the veterinary industry to incentivize training, bolster resources, and support professionals entering specialized fields, ensuring adequate care for all animals.
We Are Ahead Of That Charge. Each Year Rutledge Medical Donates Equipment, Time, Repair, Parts and Consumables To CE and Charity Organizations Throughout Vet Med.
