Oxmed International

What Oxmed International does

Oxmed International is a private medical-device manufacturer specialising in ostomy care products, founded in 2011 near the Dutch-German border and operating as part of the Cornelion Group capital group. The company develops CE-marked, ISO 13485-certified hydrocolloid-based ostomy systems under three primary sub-brands: Zensiv (core 1-piece and 2-piece colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy pouch systems), Zensetiv (supporting accessories including adhesive removers, hydrocolloid rings, skin barriers, and support belts), and Zenso (specialty wound and fistula pouches). Its technical differentiators include a 6mm soft convex hydrocolloid baseplate designed for flush, retracted, or tilted stomas, integrated venting, odor-neutralising filters, viewing windows, Velcro closures, and water-repellent dry bags - all animal-ingredient-free.

The company operates a dual-entity structure: Oxmed International GmbH in Emmerich am Rhein, Germany handles manufacturing and direct-to-consumer Web Shop sales under German law, while Oxmed International BV in Heteren, Netherlands serves as the international sales entity. Revenue is generated entirely through hardware sales across two channels: B2B sales to healthcare organisations, care providers, and distribution partners in a growing number of countries, and direct-to-consumer online sales via the company Web Shop. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Marketing is limited to the corporate website, LinkedIn, and an AI-assisted chatbot ('Ask Colo-AI') for product guidance.

The headcount range of 11-50 employees and the absence of disclosed revenue, funding rounds, or major customer logos position Oxmed as a small-to-mid-scale niche player in the European ostomy device market. Its primary defensible assets are regulatory certifications (CE under EU MDR 2017/745, ISO 13485), a registered sub-brand portfolio, and proprietary hydrocolloid formulations; its principal growth levers are geographic expansion under its existing regulatory umbrella, product-line depth (six baseplate variants), and the D2C Web Shop channel.
