Biotme

What Biotme does

Biotme (legal name: BIOTECH MEDICAL SIMULATION S.L.) is a Spanish medical device manufacturer founded in 2017 and headquartered in Zafra, Badajoz. The company designs and produces anatomical training simulators for healthcare professionals, primarily built around its proprietary BIOTME® synthetic gel that mimics the echogenic and haptic properties of human tissue. Its product portfolio centres on the BIOT-series ultrasound-guided vascular access trainers (e.g., BIOT-MPICC for complete Seldinger/Midline practice, BIOT-SNOD, BIOT-MRAD, BIOT-L, BIOT-AMAM, BIOT-ATECU, BIOT-LFIS, BIOT-MART-VEN, BIOT-EPIC, BIOT-AIMG), complemented by an anatomical simulator for subclavian and axillary cannulation developed with Simutech Av SL (launched December 2024), a proprietary 3D printer for the gel co-developed with the UEx GEMA research group, and an integrated learning-curve recording software module. Consumables (artificial blood) generate a recurring revenue layer on top of the hardware.

Biotme operates a sales-led, direct-distribution model: pricing is quote-based (not publicly listed), the website supports online quote requests, and sales are also handled via phone, email and WhatsApp. Default terms are prepayment with a five-business-day delivery window, and free logistics are provided for orders above €150 within the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands; international orders are negotiated case-by-case. Customer logos cluster in Spanish public hospitals (Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Hospital Universitario Son Espases, Hospital Universitario La Paz, Vall d'Hebron), Spanish public health authorities (Servicio Andaluz de Salud), and Spanish universities (UCAM, UCLM, León, País Vasco, Salamanca, La Laguna, Extremadura), with international customers reported in Portugal, France and Germany.

The company is privately held and bootstrapped by founders, with no disclosed institutional equity investment. Public funding has totalled approximately €105k across three regional grants from Junta de Extremadura / SEXPE / ConsolidaPyme (€6,456 + €37,450 + €61,600), allocated to ISO certification, open vascular surgery simulators, and electromechanical/software development. R&D is anchored in long-running research agreements with University of Extremadura groups INMA (materials, from 2021) and GEMA (3D printing, from 2022). Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees and the company remains pre-scale.

Core offering

Biotme develops, manufactures and sells anatomical medical training simulators (the BIOT product family) made from a proprietary BIOTME® synthetic gel that mimics the echogenicity and haptic feel of human tissue. The simulators support hands-on training for ultrasound-guided procedures such as vascular access, the Seldinger technique, PICC and midline catheter placement, and other diagnostic and interventional skills, with optional pathology simulation and integrated learning-curve software.

Product overview

BIOTME is a manufacturer of anatomical medical training simulators, offering a portfolio of products centered on their proprietary BIOTME® gel technology. The core offering consists of BIOT-series ultrasound simulators (including BIOT-MPICC for Seldinger technique, BIOT-SNOD, BIOT-MRAD, BIOT-L, BIOT-AMAM, BIOT-ATECU, BIOT-LFIS, BIOT-MART-VEN, BIOT-EPIC, BIOT-AIMG, and metal-structure variants) that reproduce realistic anatomical structures for medical training. Recent additions include a 3D printer for gel-based simulator production and learning curve recording software. The company also offers anatomical simulators for specific procedures like subclavian and axillary cannulation developed with partner Simutech Av SL. Consumables include artificial blood for simulator maintenance.

Emerging players

• VirtaMed: VirtaMed develops highly realistic virtual reality and hybrid simulation training systems for medical procedures, including arthroscopy, laparoscopy, and ultrasound-guided interventions. Comparable to Biotme in the broader medical procedure simulation category with a different (VR-based) technology approach.
• SonoSim: SonoSim provides ultrasound training solutions combining cloud-based learning with hands-on simulation. Overlaps with Biotme's ultrasound-guided procedure training focus through a different (cloud-augmented) delivery model.

Direct peers

• Simulab Corporation: Simulab is a US-based manufacturer of realistic tissue simulation training products for healthcare professionals, with a strong focus on ultrasound-guided procedures, vascular access, and procedural training phantoms. Highly comparable as a direct competitor to Biotme in the ultrasound/vascular access simulator niche.
• Limbs & Things: Limbs & Things manufactures medical training task trainers and clinical skills simulators used by healthcare professionals and educational institutions globally. Direct overlap with Biotme in anatomical simulation products, with comparable target customers (medical schools, hospitals) and product categories.
• Mentice: Mentice specializes in endovascular and vascular interventional simulation, providing realistic training systems for image-guided procedures. Direct overlap with Biotme's vascular access and endovascular simulator focus, particularly for Seldinger technique and cannulation training.
• Kyoto Kagaku: Kyoto Kagaku is a Japanese manufacturer of medical phantoms and anatomical models for ultrasound training, radiology, and clinical education. Closely comparable to Biotme in ultrasound phantoms and synthetic tissue simulation technology, with a global distribution footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Laerdal Medical: Laerdal Medical is one of the largest global providers of medical simulation and resuscitation training equipment, serving hospitals, universities, and emergency services worldwide. Overlaps with Biotme's clinical simulation focus but operates at vastly greater scale and product breadth.
• Surgical Science Sweden AB: Surgical Science is a Swedish-based provider of medical simulation training for minimally invasive surgery, endovascular procedures, and ultrasound. Comparable to Biotme in ultrasound-guided procedure training but with a broader portfolio and public-company scale.
• CAE Healthcare: CAE Healthcare is a global leader in healthcare simulation, offering a broad portfolio including patient simulators, ultrasound training, and interventional simulation. A much larger incumbent with significantly greater resources than Biotme, but overlapping customer base and product category.
• 3D Systems (Simbionix): 3D Systems (formerly Simbionix) provides advanced 3D virtual reality surgical simulation and training solutions for medical professionals. Comparable to Biotme as a medical simulation provider, though focused on virtual reality rather than physical phantoms, and operating at significantly larger scale.
