Int'Air Medical

What Int'Air Medical does

Int'Air Medical is a French manufacturer of single-use medical devices, headquartered in Montagnat (Ain department, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region) and operating as a subsidiary of the German-family-owned Dahlhausen Group since 2018. The company was originally founded in 1983 under the name Europe Médical, subsequently operated as RÜSCH Médical (Teleflex), and was acquired and rebranded as Int'Air Medical in 2003. It serves hospitals, clinics, and home-hospitalization services (HAD) primarily in France, with international reach enabled by the parent group's 12 sites across 9 countries.

The company manufactures single-use devices across 14 product ranges spanning anesthesia, aspiration, aerosol therapy, surgery, ventilation circuits (adult/pediatric/neonatal), filtration, oxygen therapy, resuscitation/intensive care, urology (including the exclusive French distribution of ClearPetra® ureteral access sheaths from Well Lead Medical), orthosis (Woodcast®), and accessories. Its core technological capability is polymer transformation — injection, extrusion, and assembly of polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, SBC, polystyrene, and SEBS — performed within 1,000m² of ISO 8 classified cleanrooms. Notable proprietary know-how includes co-extrusion technology for bi-material spiral tubes combining rigid and flexible PVC, described as unique in the French medical-device field, supported by in-house R&D using CAD tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD), normative testing, and validation. The company also distributes licensed brands (ClearPetra®, Woodcast®) and offers industrial subcontracting services (injection, extrusion, assembly in cleanrooms) to medical-device, pharmaceutical, agri-food, and cosmetic clients.

Int'Air Medical's business model combines hardware sales (own-manufactured single-use devices and third-party distributed products) with B2B professional-services revenue (industrial subcontracting). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales: a commercial team engages healthcare establishments directly, responds to public-procurement tenders, and serves industrial clients. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company holds ISO 13485:2016 certification and complies with EU MDR 2017/745. With approximately 140 employees and a SAS share capital of €500,000, it is a privately held, operating business whose revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Smiths Medical: Global medical device manufacturer with strong respiratory, anesthesia, and airway management franchises. Overlaps with Int'Air's tracheal, intubation, and respiratory care products in European hospital markets.
• Dräger: German medtech company with a deep portfolio in anesthesia workstations, ventilation, and patient monitoring. Competes in the anesthesia/ventilation device space and bundles its own consumables into French hospital contracts.
• Fisher & Paykel Healthcare: Global leader in respiratory humidification, oxygen therapy, and ventilation consumables. Directly competes with Int'Air's filtration (HME), oxygen therapy, and ventilation circuit product lines across European hospital tenders.
• B. Braun: German medical device and pharmaceutical company with a broad portfolio including anesthesia, IV therapy, and surgical consumables. Competes for the same French hospital procurement contracts and benefits from similar MDR compliance infrastructure.
• Teleflex: Global single-use medical device company whose Rüsch brand historically owned the predecessor entity (Rüsch Médical / Teleflex) before Int'Air Medical was created in 2003. Directly competes in anesthesia, airway management, and respiratory consumables.

Direct peers

• Peters Surgical: French-headquartered manufacturer specializing in surgical devices and single-use surgical consumables. Comparable in being a mid-sized French medical device manufacturer serving public hospital tenders with a similar MDR-compliance burden.
• Vygon: French-headquartered manufacturer of single-use medical devices for anesthesia, neonatology, and critical care. Highly comparable in product mix (anesthesia circuits, IV lines, catheters) and target customer base (European hospitals and home-care services).
• Intersurgical: European specialist in respiratory care products including ventilation circuits, anesthesia breathing systems, and oxygen/aerosol therapy — overlapping almost 1:1 with Int'Air Medical's anesthesia, ventilation, and oxygen therapy portfolios.
• CAIR LGL: French manufacturer of single-use medical devices focused on respiratory care, aerosol therapy, and oxygen therapy — a smaller French specialist with overlapping product categories and a comparable hospital distribution model.

Emerging players

• Gerresheimer: European contract manufacturer of plastic-based medical devices with cleanroom production. Comparable on the industrial subcontracting side of Int'Air's business — both offer polymer-based manufacturing for medical and pharma OEMs in regulated environments.
