What PakuMed Medical Products does

PakuMed Medical Products GmbH is a privately-held German medical device manufacturer headquartered in Essen, founded by practicing surgeons and currently controlled by the Koudaimi family (Michaela Pastoors-Koudaimi as Managing Director/Shareholder, Dr. med.(syr) M. Kamal Koudaimi as Head of Development and Safety). The company designs, manufactures and distributes fully implantable titanium port catheter systems under the TITAN-PORT brand (Standard S/M/L plus specialty variants for dialysis, drainage, apheresis, ascites/peritoneal therapy, arm access, and fetal/prenatal nutrition), together with the proprietary SFN® (Stanzfreie Nadel) non-coring port cannulas with optional TRBA 250-compliant safety system, and the ANOKRYO® consumer line of cold-therapy dilators and lubricants for conservative treatment of hemorrhoids and anal fissures.

Revenue is generated through three channels: (i) B2B direct sales of implants and consumables to hospitals, oncology/dialysis/apheresis centers, and surgical departments via field sales representatives and an export team delivering across the EU-27 plus select non-EU markets; (ii) e-commerce through the company's own pakumed.de shop selling SFN cannulas at €9.54–€17.22 per unit (25-piece packaging) to smaller clinics and individuals; and (iii) pharmacy distribution and direct-to-consumer e-commerce of ANOKRYO® products (€16.22–€31.32 per unit, PZN-coded, sold OTC without prescription in Germany). The firm holds TÜV NORD ISO 13485 certification and is currently transitioning products from MDD 93/42/EEC to EU MDR 2017/745.

The company has 11–50 employees, no external institutional investors or parent company, and exhibits at major medical trade shows including MEDICA Düsseldorf and World Health Expo 2026. Its core technical differentiators are the guaranteed punch-free SFN needle geometry (preventing silicone membrane fragmentation and extending port life), MRI-compatible pure titanium chambers tested at 1.5T and 3T, and the cold + dilation therapy principle underlying ANOKRYO®, which has clinical data dating to 1990–1992 studies.

Direct peers

• AngioDynamics: AngioDynamics manufactures and markets port catheter systems (BioFlo, Vortex) and specialty access devices, with a portfolio that overlaps PakuMed's high-pressure contrast injection and apheresis use cases. It is a direct peer competing in hospital vascular access, although primarily in the US market with growing European presence.
• Vygon: Vygon is a French-headquartered, family-influenced medical device company manufacturing port catheter systems (e.g., Vygon Port, Polysite) and single-use vascular access instruments. It is a direct peer with comparable European mid-market positioning, similar product breadth across standard and specialty ports, and similar appeal to oncology and surgical departments.
• ICU Medical (Smiths Medical): ICU Medical acquired Smiths Medical's port catheter and needle business, offering direct competitors to PakuMed's TITAN-PORT and SFN needles (e.g., Port-a-Cath, GRIPPER needles). It is a direct peer in port access devices, with overlapping hospital customers in Europe and similar specialty variants (dialysis, apheresis).
• PFM Medical: PFM Medical is a German, mid-sized medical device company that manufactures and distributes port catheter systems and other surgical consumables for the European hospital market. It is a direct peer with comparable size, German manufacturing base, and similar positioning targeting surgical and oncology departments with single-use vascular access products.
• SARSTEDT: SARSTEDT is a German, family-owned medical device and laboratory consumables manufacturer that produces port catheter systems and related vascular access products for the European market. It is a direct peer with comparable DACH-region heritage, family ownership structure, and similar positioning to mid-sized hospital customers.
• B. Braun Melsungen: B. Braun is a leading global manufacturer of port catheter systems (e.g., Celsite series) and related vascular access devices, directly competing with PakuMed's TITAN-PORT in European hospitals. It is a relevant direct peer given overlapping product portfolio, customer base (oncology, surgery departments), and EU MDR-compliant medical device manufacturing.

Broad incumbents

• Cook Medical: Cook Medical manufactures a broad range of interventional and vascular access devices including port catheter systems and specialty access instruments, with a large global footprint. It is a broad incumbent competing in the same hospital call points as PakuMed, though with a much wider and deeper product portfolio beyond ports.
• Fresenius Kabi: Fresenius Kabi is a global healthcare company whose medical devices division includes port catheter systems and infusion accessories used in oncology and infusion therapy. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps with PakuMed's oncology and apheresis segments, but operates at a much larger scale with a broader IV therapy portfolio.
• Becton Dickinson (BD): BD (including the former Bard portfolio) is one of the world's largest manufacturers of implantable port catheter systems (PowerPort, Port-A-Cath) and accessories. It competes with PakuMed across the full port and needle stack, but at vastly larger scale and with broader product breadth that includes diagnostics, biosciences, and medication management.
• Teleflex: Teleflex is a large, diversified medical device company with a vascular access portfolio (Arrow, Deknatel) that includes port catheter systems and Huber needles. It is a broad incumbent rather than a pure-play port specialist, but its product overlap and global sales force make it a directly relevant competitor for PakuMed's hospital accounts.
