Laboderm

What Laboderm does

Laboderm is a French e-commerce distributor specializing in medical supplies and equipment for dermatology, dermatological surgery, and aesthetic medicine. The company curates a portfolio of more than 15,000 SKUs spanning surgical sutures and consumables (Peters Surgical, Ethicon), single-use sterile sets, dermatoscopes (DermLite), sharp instruments (KAI, Swann-Morton), diagnostic devices (HEINE, Spengler), disinfection and sterilization products (ANIOS), and capital treatment equipment (electrosurgery, cryotherapy). It also operates a private-label 'Laboderm' range of sterile sets, suture sets, and instruments. The platform is built on Shopify, with email-based customer authentication, an Alma installment-payment integration, and support for free shipping above €129 and a €30 Go'Pass annual shipping subscription.

The company serves primarily dermatologists, with secondary segments in general practitioners and aesthetic-medicine practitioners, and operates across France and Belgium. Its go-to-market is overwhelmingly self-serve e-commerce, supplemented by phone-based sales support during extended business hours, a free-quote workflow for orders over €1,000, and a referral ('parrainage') program. Pricing follows a unit-pricing model with promotional markdowns of 6% to 40% on selected lines. Laboderm is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Novomed Group, a diversified French healthcare conglomerate whose other specialty storefronts include NM Medical, Gyneas, Kinessonne, LCH Medical, and Moraz; this parentage provides procurement scale, shared back-office, and intra-group distribution leverage.

Revenue is generated through direct online transactional sales of medical products, with one-off capital-equipment purchases (e.g., a DermLite DL5 Plus at €1,995) and recurring consumable replenishment representing two distinct revenue mechanics. There are no publicly disclosed revenue figures and no indication of external equity funding; the firm appears to be financed and controlled at the Novomed Group level.

Direct peers

• NM Medical: Sister company of Laboderm within the Novomed Group; operates a similar e-commerce medical-supply model but targets general practitioners, cardiologists, and nurses. Closest comparable on business model, customer base, and platform technology.
• Gyneas: Another Novomed Group sister brand focused on gynecology medical supplies via e-commerce. Shares the same Shopify-style catalog distribution model and target-customer profile (specialist physicians), differing only in the medical vertical served.

Broad incumbents

• Medline Industries: One of the largest privately held medical-supply manufacturers and distributors globally, serving hospitals and physician offices across Europe. Significant overlap on gloves, drapes, sutures, exam supplies, and sterilization products.
• McKesson Medical-Surgical: Division of McKesson distributing medical-surgical supplies to physician offices, clinics, and surgical centers in the US and Europe. Comparable on assortment breadth, B2B healthcare customer base, and logistics scale.
• Patterson Companies: Large US-headquartered value-added distributor of dental and animal-health products with growing medical segment. Competes with Laboderm in the broader medical-supply distribution space and could expand into French dermatology specialty supply.

Others
