MED Medical Products

What MED Medical Products does

M.E.D. Medical Products GmbH is a German manufacturer of single-use surgical draping systems and OP-Sets exclusively specialized in ophthalmology. The company produces two principal product lines: Individual-Sets, which are custom-configured to each customer's specifications (component selection, materials, cutting, and packaging) across drape systems, surgical gowns, and instruments; and Basis-Sets, which are CE-certified, pre-configured packs for routine procedures such as cataract (Katarakt), intravitreal injection (IVI), LASIK, and vitrectomy. All sets are manufactured under cleanroom conditions at the company's Aschaffenburg facility (relocated in winter 2023) and produced under ISO 13485 and EU MDR-compliant quality management.

The underlying production stack combines automated production equipment with manual skilled labor, guided by the proprietary Mefix production planning system, statistical process control (SPC), photo-documentation of work steps, barcode/QR tracking, and (since April 2025) RFID-enabled tracking from manufacturing to OR application. Standard monthly capacity reaches up to 300,000 surgical sets, with a stated 25-day order-to-delivery cycle including sterilization and a 4-year shelf life. The company is part of the AddVision pan-European ophthalmic network and sells almost entirely through a global network of more than 18 specialist distribution partners across European countries, with direct sales support (notably Tobias Glaab) covering the German enterprise market. Pricing is quote-based with bulk minimum order quantities on standardized sets, and the business model is one-time sale of physical consumables rather than recurring subscription.
