Medical Concept Lab

What Medical Concept Lab does

Medical Concept Lab S.p.A. is an Italian B2B healthcare services provider that operates an integrated outsourcing model for public and private hospitals, combining material management, specialized clinical staffing, and a proprietary software platform. Founded in 2018 in Sassari as Medical Concept Lab, the company merged with EPS — established in 1991 as Italy's first comprehensive perfusion services provider — in January 2025 to form the current S.p.A. entity under the Palex Group umbrella. The company serves 22 hospital facilities across 5 Italian regions and supports over 20,000 clinical procedures annually, concentrated in cardiac surgery, cardiology, electrophysiology, and digestive endoscopy. Its product portfolio spans clinical outsourcing (perfusionists, nurses, Clinical Support Specialists, Laboratory Support Specialists), managed procurement and supply chain services, Perception Design for hospital environments, and the in-house Infomed web-based platform for centralized ward and operating-theatre management.

The core technology asset is Infomed, an in-house developed web platform that handles logistics and accounting flows, medical device rotation and expiry tracking, ERP-integrated batch purchasing, minimal-inventory management, and reporting with device-selection by body mapping. Supporting assets include the EP-David Simulator for electrophysiology procedure training and the Perception Design methodology for hospital environment optimization. The platform integrates with widely used hospital ERP systems and is positioned as the operational backbone tying together clinical services and material management under a unified managed-services contract.

Medical Concept Lab monetizes primarily through multi-year managed-service and professional-services contracts with healthcare facilities, with no public pricing disclosed. Revenue streams include clinical staff outsourcing (perfusionists, nurses, specialists), procurement and supply chain management, procedural kits (bundles of devices and consumables), and integrated service engagements that combine material management with clinical services under Lean Six Sigma methodologies. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales via regional managers (Area Centro, Area Sardegna), supported by warehouses in Sassari, Rome, and Manoppello, and certified under ISO 9001, 14001, 13485, 12207, 37301, and 37001 alongside Gender Equality and AGCM Legality Rating. The company is a wholly-owned component of Palex Group, the Barcelona-headquartered independent European medical technology group.
