What BeMedico does

BeMedico is an independent Belgian medical device distribution company founded in 1987 and headquartered in Herzele, operating as a full-service partner for medical professionals across the Benelux. Following a January 2022 rebrand that consolidated four predecessor entities (High Tech Laser, Hospital Innovations, Lasermedico, and Ortho-Medico), the company distributes a curated portfolio spanning 10 medical specializations — urology, orthopedics, traumatology, oncology, dermatology and plastic surgery, ENT, maxillofacial surgery, gynecology, dentistry, and rehabilitation. Core distributed technologies include Dornier Medtech lithotriptors and Ho:YAG/Tm:YAG laser systems, Hilotherm controlled cryotherapy devices, Acumed and FX Shoulder orthopedic implants, and rehabilitation exoskeletons from Ekso Bionics and Free Bionics.

The business operates on a field sales-led B2B motion, with dedicated Product & Sales Specialists per therapeutic area and country (Belgium split between Flanders and Wallonia, plus a separate Netherlands team). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of capital equipment and consumables, supplemented by ISO-certified after-sales service contracts structured as tiered protection plans (Bronze, Silver, Gold) covering preventive maintenance, repair labor, spare parts, and replacement equipment. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, holds a 2025 Climate Action Silver label, and was acquired by the Accuramed group in 2025. Additional support functions include hands-on workshops, scientific publication curation, a podcast, and event sponsorships aimed at clinical decision-makers in the Benelux hospital channel.

Broad incumbents

• Henry Schein: One of the world's largest medical and dental product distributors, serving office-based healthcare providers globally including in Europe. Comparable to BeMedico as a medical device distributor to hospitals and specialists, though Henry Schein operates at vastly greater scale and with a broader, less specialty-curated portfolio.
• Medline Industries: Largest privately held medical device and supply manufacturer and distributor in the U.S., with growing European presence across hospitals and surgery centers. Comparable to BeMedico in supplying medical devices to hospitals and clinicians, but with a much broader catalog and stronger manufacturing integration.

Overlaps with BeMedico in the wholesale medical device and supply distribution model, though at significantly larger scale.

Similar to BeMedico in supplying medical devices and equipment to healthcare providers, though at a much larger scale and with a strong focus on commoditized med-surg supplies.

Regional players

• Mediq: Netherlands-based medical device and home healthcare company distributing products and services to hospitals, care institutions, and patients across Europe. Particularly comparable to BeMedico given the overlapping Netherlands market presence and similar specialty medical device distribution focus.

Comparable to BeMedico as a multi-specialty medical device distributor in a neighboring European market with similar relationship-driven, specialty-curated distribution model.
• Sarstedt: German manufacturer and distributor of medical devices, consumables, and laboratory products serving hospitals, GPs, and research institutions across Europe. Comparable to BeMedico in combining medical device manufacturing with specialty distribution to healthcare providers, with overlap in surgical and clinical product categories.

Comparable to BeMedico as a specialty medical device distributor operating in European markets with a similar multi-category portfolio model.
