What sfmedical gmbh does

SF Medical GmbH is a privately held German limited liability company (GmbH) headquartered at Hermannstr. 150, Neunkirchen, operating the consumer-facing brand SF Medical Shop (DBA: SF Medical Shop by Ori-Mart). The legal entity behind the shop is Oriplast GmbH, led by Managing Director Alexander Sauerwein. The business manufactures and distributes single-use medical and hygiene disposable products under three proprietary brand families — SF (disposable nitrile, latex, and vinyl gloves plus protective clothing such as mob caps and shoe covers), ORIPLAST (sterile medical devices including infusion sets, silicone drainage systems, suction catheters, three-way stopcocks, and the THORAFLEX thoracic drainage system, manufactured in-house), and SOFEX (hygiene and care products including incontinence diapers and pants, underpads, disposable washcloths, shoe covers, and mob caps). A non-medical PVC tubing line targets hobby, aquarium, garden, and workshop use cases.

The commercial model is a direct-to-customer e-commerce storefront at sfmedical.eu built on the Plentymarkets platform, combining self-serve B2C purchasing with verified B2B commercial accounts. Pricing is publicly disclosed, transactional, and volume-tiered with progressive discounts of roughly 3% to 30% for larger quantities (for example, €3.36–€3.72 per 100-unit nitrile glove box at 150+ units). Orders are processed within 24 hours with 2–3 working day domestic delivery, and shipping extends to all EU member states plus Switzerland via DHL and Deutsche Post. Payment options are PayPal, Amazon Pay, and prepayment. A telephone inside-sales channel (068 21 / 80 47) handles B2B orders above €2,000 during business hours Monday–Friday 08:00–16:00.

The product portfolio is fully certified to relevant European standards, including MDR 2017/745 Class I for medical devices, PPE Regulation 2016/425 Category III, EN 455 (medical gloves), EN 374 (chemical/microorganism protection), and DIN EN ISO 13485 (medical-device quality management). Customers span seven primary segments: healthcare professionals, laboratory and research, care facilities and home care, food industry and gastronomy, industrial/trade/craft, beauty and personal care, and private consumers. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent entity, and operates without subsidiaries.

Comparable to SF Medical on the surgical drainage and OR consumable side but with significantly broader product range and global footprint.

• Medline Industries, LP: Largest privately held manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies in the US, with extensive European operations across gloves, drapes, wound care, and incontinence. Comparable to SF Medical on portfolio breadth but operates at a fundamentally different scale and via direct institutional sales rather than pure e-commerce.
