What Medico Electrodes does

Medico Electrodes International Ltd. is a Noida, India-headquartered manufacturer of disposable medical electrodes founded in 2002 by Chairman and Managing Director Amit Mehra. The company's core products are disposable ECG electrodes for cardiac monitoring and diagnostic procedures, electrosurgical neutral electrodes (ESU pads) marketed under the BLUESU sub-brand, TENS/EMS neurostimulation pads under the FlexStim sub-brand, and conductive hydrogels supplied both as components and as finished medical devices. Manufacturing is anchored in two plants in the Noida Special Economic Zone, with a third plant in Warwick, UK acquired in 2015 that brought in-house hydrogel technology. The company holds ISO 13485, US FDA Registration, CE Mark under EU MDR 2017/745, MDSAP, and the highest CRISIL industry rating continuously since 2011.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining branded sales of Medico Electrodes products, contract manufacturing (OEM) for several reputed international medical device brands under private label, and direct export to hospitals, diagnostic centers, physiotherapy clinics, and neonatal/pediatric care facilities. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated for bulk and OEM arrangements, with no public price list. Distribution is multi-channel: direct export to 40+ countries, OEM/private-label supply, distributor partnerships in the domestic Indian market, and event-driven demand generation at MEDICA Dusseldorf, WHX Dubai, and Medical Fair India. The company self-claims to be the third largest global manufacturer and the largest outside the USA in disposable centre snap electrodes, with a major share of the Indian market and exports spanning Europe, USA, Latin America, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and Africa.
