More Than Merch: Our Mission at Biomed Apparel ⚡

Published: July 26, 2025 • By Andrew Gutierrez, Founder & Veteran

At Biomed Apparel ⚡, we don’t just sell shirts and coffee. We represent a mission.

We are a veteran-owned business, built from the ground up to honor the unsung heroes of healthcare — the Biomedical Equipment Technicians, the Sterile Processing crews, the Radiology teams, the Respiratory Therapists, and every other department that powers hospitals behind the scenes.

Too often, these vital teams go unseen. That ends now.

⚡ Powered by Purpose

Biomed Apparel was born from two truths:

• The Healthcare Technology Management (HTM) field is invisible to the public — but absolutely essential.
• The people in this field deserve recognition, community, and pride.

We launched with shirts, coffee, and even a crossword puzzle book to create something tangible — gear that says, “I matter. My work matters.” Every design we drop is a tribute to those who answer late-night calls, fix life-saving machines, and never stop learning.

⚙️ Built by a Biomed, For Biomeds

I’ve been there — running cables behind a vent, troubleshooting monitors in trauma rooms, drinking cold coffee between PMs. This isn’t just a business to me; it’s a way to give back to the community that gave me purpose after the military.

Our gear isn’t about flash. It’s about identity.

💥 Giving Back Is Part of the Brand

Biomed Apparel doesn’t just represent healthcare workers — it supports them. We:

• Donate a portion of select product sales to healthcare-related causes like the Dignity Foundation
• Collaborate with small vendors and U.S. roasters
• Feature real techs in our content, not models
• Uplift the whole ecosystem: IT, SPD, dialysis, lab techs, EMTs, CNAs, and beyond

We’re not here to “cash in” — we’re here to change how healthcare workers see themselves.

☕ Come for the Shirt, Stay for the Spark

Our lightning bolt ⚡ is more than a logo — it’s the spark of life, the energy behind every repair, every response, every ounce of dedication poured into this work.

Biomed Apparel ⚡ is a brand.
It’s a voice.
It’s a movement.
And most of all, it’s for you.
