Todd Buster — The Louisiana Sales Leader Who Went from Amniotics to PRP, Advanced Dressings, and Five Aesthetic Clinics

The Rock Star Bio

Todd Buster is a National Sales Director at NB Medical, based in Mandeville, Louisiana. His current portfolio is a category cocktail that makes sense the moment you look at his physician network: PRP/PRF, advanced dressings, and oxygen therapy — the intersection of regenerative aesthetics and modern wound care. Alongside that, he owns and operates five aesthetic clinics and works with top clinicians across wound care, aesthetics, mobile medicine, ortho, pain, and spine — including Dr. Christopher Trahan (plastics, men's and women's health), who has been influential in Todd's rise, and Dr. Charles Runels (the physician who put PRP on the modern aesthetic map). Todd is not in the room by accident.

Let me tell you the story that tells you everything about Todd. I told him — casually, in passing, a full week in advance — that I wake up early, and hey, we could take our next call at 4:30 AM if he wanted. I honestly did not remember telling him that.

4:30 AM came. Phone rings.

"You ready?"

I literally said, "who is this?" It was Todd. On the dot. He remembered every syllable. He heard 4:30 AM and he booked 4:30 AM. This guy is no joke.

This is the level of preparation you get from Todd Buster. He is, without exaggeration, the most passionate product guy I have ever met in this industry. If you are considering a PRP/PRF program, an advanced dressing formulary, or an oxygen therapy protocol, and Todd is the rep on the account, you are going to know more about that portfolio by lunch than most reps know at the end of the year.

The Origin Story

Todd's career is a masterclass in staying deep in one specialty long enough to actually be an expert. His work history includes:

• National Sales Director — current role at NB Medical, running national sales across PRP/PRF, advanced dressings, and oxygen therapy.
• MiMedx Regional Sales Director — the placenta-derived allografts era. If you know, you know.
• Regional Business Director roles in medical device — over 15 years of experience in the category.

Louisiana-based. National-scope. Aesthetics + wound care. That combination is rarer than it sounds in this industry.

What He's Building Right Now

• National Sales Director, NB Medical — running national sales across a portfolio focused on PRP/PRF, advanced dressings, and oxygen therapy.
• Owner / Operator of five aesthetic clinics — Todd is not just moving product from the outside; he owns the point-of-care. That means he is on the customer side of most of the decisions he sells against, which sharpens his read on what actually works at the clinic level.
• A national KOL network spanning wound care, aesthetics, mobile medicine, ortho, pain, and spine — including direct working relationships with Dr. Christopher Trahan (plastics, men's and women's health), who has been influential in Todd's rise into PRP and regenerative aesthetics, and Dr. Charles Runels (the physician who pioneered modern aesthetic PRP protocols).

Why You Need To Know Him

Because if you are a wound care or aesthetics provider — especially in the Gulf South, the Southeast, or anywhere along the PRP/regenerative curve — Todd is the rep who tells you the truth about what actually works. In a category where reps sometimes sell the deck and hope the product works out, Todd sells the product because the product actually works. He can also tell you, on the same call, how the aesthetic and wound care sides of the same molecule differ in the clinic — because he is running both.

He's also deep on the reimbursement side. Advanced dressings and oxygen therapy live and die on CMS updates, MAC LCD interpretations, and coverage nuance. Todd is not the rep who "will get back to you on that." Todd is the rep who already emailed you the LCD before you asked. Which — and I will state this from personal experience — sometimes happens at 4:30 AM.

Something He Didn't Tell Me

Here is the part Todd is far too humble to lead with, and I am going to lead with it anyway. NB Medical is owned by his wife — Stacy Buster. And Stacy is not a person you get on the phone by accident. She built her career at Eli Lilly, Medtronic, and Stryker — three of the most respected pharma and medical device organizations in the world — before founding NB Medical. That is one of the more impressive résumés in this industry, and Todd will happily talk about her career before he talks about his own.

The Buster household is a power-couple story hiding in plain sight. He runs national sales. She runs the company. The two of them together are a business.

Mandeville, Louisiana. That's north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Small town. Old oaks. Coffee shops that know your name. This is sit down, we're going to talk about your practice for an hour before I mention product rep culture. That is exactly the reason his customer relationships last.

And — the phrase Damon-verified about Todd, and the one I want on the record because it is exactly right — Todd lives right side up. Family first. Work hard. Show up at 4:30 AM if you said 4:30 AM. The whole thing is unironic and it works.

The Signature Move

Being the rep who actually knows the product — and owning the point-of-care to prove it. Sounds simple. It's not. In advanced wound care and aesthetics, reps often outsource product knowledge to the KOL slide deck. Todd doesn't. He knows the mechanism, the reimbursement, the coding, the storage requirements, the application technique, and — critically — which patients it's wrong for. That last one is the tell. Reps who will tell you when not to use their product are the reps you keep.

How To Work With Him

• LinkedIn: Todd Buster
• Best way in: LinkedIn message with your specific product category or clinic question. If you are a wound care or aesthetics provider — especially in the Gulf South or Southeast — mention your practice and he will route you correctly.
• Warning: if you tell him you're up at 4:30, be up at 4:30.

The Legend Quote

Todd is not one for long LinkedIn manifestos — that's part of the personality. His work is the quote. His accounts are the reference letter. His five clinics and his fifteen-plus years in this specialty are the credential. And, when he's ready to give you a real quote, ask him about his wife.

Translation: the rep does not need a slogan. The rep has a practice.
