Dr. Leininger currently owns, founded or was a major investor in over 100 corporations. Founded Kinetic Concepts, Inc. in a one-bedroom apartment in 1976. Served as Chairman of the Board, President and CEO 1979 to 1980, and from 1990 to 1993; served as Chairman of the Board from 1976 until 1998. Currently serving as Chairman Emeritus of Board of Directors. KCI is now a publicly held Wound Care Company with annual worldwide sales of over $1.9 billion and over 7,000 employees world wide. KCI is known as an innovative and clinically oriented wound care company, which started in 1976 with the Roto Rest Kinetic Treatment table, an intensive care bed for patients with multiple trauma, spinal cord injury, head injury and pulmonary complications.
In 1984 the Kin-Air (air-flotation) bed was added to treat immobile patients who had bed sores as well as burn patients. Patients with advanced cancer were often treated to relieve the severe pain. Other therapeutic floatation beds were added including the Biodyne, Therapulse and Fluidaire to relieve pain and suffering. The Baricare was developed to treat extremely obese patients (up to 1000 lbs.). The Roto Prone has recently been introduced to treat patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Over 13 million patients have been successfully treated over the years by these therapeutic surfaces and wound care products. In 1995 KCI introduced the VAC (Vacuum Assisted Closure) wound healing technology. This technology has revolutionized the treatment of large open wounds, diabetic ulcers, and pressure ulcers. The VAC has been used to treat over one million patients with large open wounds and has helped heal many wounds that would have previously proven fatal. By improving healing and circulation the Wound VAC has prevented thousands of lower leg amputations (mostly from diabetic ulcers).
A recent study of our GI’s in Iraq with large open injuries usually caused by explosions showed that the Wound VAC decreased the infection rate from 80% to under 1% and reduced the time to wound closure from 60 days to 4.2 days. Over 500 scientific papers have been published in medical journals documenting the incredible effectiveness of the Wound VAC in healing large open wounds. 1977 - KCI invented the specialized hospital bed rental business. 1978 to Present KCI granted over 1000 patents relating to the design and original invention of various medical equipment and devices. KCI Innovations include: First to introduce rotating treatment table for multiple trauma; First to introduce under bed scales, first to introduce in bed patient scales; First to introduce computerized hospital bed; First to introduce a one piece air flotation bed (Kin-Air); First to introduce air flotation rotating and pulsating beds (Therapuluse and Biodyne); First to introduce bariatric hospital bed for patients up to 1,000 pounds;

Promised Land Dairy, Floresville, Texas—A desire for healthy milk products to be made available to the general public was the driving force in the development of this company.

All Promised Land milk comes only from Jersey cows, and is all natural, containing no artificial hormones.
