What F Care Systems does
F Care Systems NV is a privately held Belgian medical device manufacturer founded in 2001 by Rudi Devers, headquartered in Berchem (Antwerp), Belgium. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes monopolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation generators and single-use consumables operating at 4 MHz for minimally invasive treatments across four clinical specialties: proctology (haemorrhoids, anal fistulas), phlebology (varicose veins), oncology (liver, lung, and thyroid tumours), and aesthetic dermatology (skin disorders and body contouring). Its product portfolio includes six branded generator lines (Rafaelo, EVRF, MedRF4000, AJ-500A, Viridex RF, Viridex US) paired with procedure-specific consumable packs (Rafaelo Pack, Fistura Pack, CR45i Packs, RF probes, catheters, and electrodes). The company holds ISO 13485, CE marking, and US FDA 510(k) clearances.
The company operates a hybrid B2B distribution model combining four wholly-owned sales subsidiaries (Belgium, France, Germany, USA) with a global network of regional distributors, most recently adding Southmedic as its Canadian partner in 2024. Revenue is generated through one-time capital equipment sales (RF generators), recurring per-procedure consumable sales, technical maintenance and repair services, and distribution of complementary accessories (Veinlite, Syris, Nouvag, SuperSeton). Customers are specialist physicians and private practices in proctology, phlebology, oncology, and aesthetic dermatology, with physician engagement driven by participation in medical congresses, workshops, and direct field sales. All pricing is quote-based with no public list prices.
F Care Systems is 100% founder/family owned with no disclosed external investors, no parent company, and no funding rounds. The workforce of 11-50 employees is split across Belgium, France, Germany, and the USA, with leadership including CEO Rudi Devers, Director General Michaël Pierre, CFO Peter, and national sales directors for France, USA, and EMEA. Recent strategic activity centers on extending the product line (Sphera launch in 2024 for Grade I/II haemorrhoids) and geographic reach (Canada entry in 2024), while continuing to leverage its regulatory-cleared, procedure-branded RF ablation ecosystem.

F Care Systems competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Boston Scientific: Boston Scientific is a diversified interventional device maker with RF ablation offerings across several specialties — providing overlapping procedural capabilities and capital-plus-consumable contracting power that competes for the same hospital accounts as F Care.
- Medtronic: Medtronic, through its Covidien heritage, sells the ClosureFast RF generator for varicose vein ablation — directly competing with F Care's EVRF/Veineo platform while also serving as a broad incumbent across many RF-driven therapies.
- Olympus: Olympus provides endoscopy and therapeutic devices used in proctology and GI procedures; while not a pure RF ablation play, its installed endoscope base and surgical instrument portfolio create competitive pressure in proctological workflows where F Care's Rafaelo and Fistura compete.
Direct peers
- Cynosure: Cynosure (a division of Hologic) manufactures energy-based aesthetic devices including RF and ultrasound platforms that overlap with F Care's Viridex product family in dermatology and aesthetic practices.
- Cutera: Cutera produces RF and energy-based aesthetic systems (e.g., truSculpt, Secret RF) that compete with Viridex RF/US in body contouring and skin therapy markets served by private dermatology practices.
- Bowa-electronic: Bowa-electronic is a German-based electrosurgery and RF device maker selling generators and accessories into European hospitals — a regional and product-line peer to F Care's monopolar RF generator portfolio.
- AngioDynamics: AngioDynamics markets the Solero and RITA RF ablation systems for tumour ablation (liver, kidney, lung) — directly overlapping F Care's AJ-500A generator in interventional oncology indications.
- Söring: Söring is a German manufacturer of high-frequency electrosurgical and RF ablation generators used across surgical specialties — a direct competitor with overlapping capital equipment and consumable categories to F Care's generator family.
- InMode: InMode is a leading aesthetic medical device company offering RF and RF-assisted lipolysis platforms (BodyTite, Morpheus8) that compete directly with F Care's Viridex RF and Viridex US aesthetic dermatology lines.
Emerging players
- Venclose: Venclose develops RF catheter technology specifically for venous ablation and chronic venous insufficiency — emerging as a focused competitor to F Care's Veineo and CR45i varicose vein portfolio.
