Tricomed Sa

What Tricomed Sa does

Tricomed SA is a Łódź, Poland-based medical device manufacturer founded in 1959, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary within the TZMO SA Capital Group. The company specializes in designing and manufacturing CE-marked surgical implants, biomaterials, specialized wound dressings, and compression therapy products under an ISO 13485 Quality Management System. Tricomed holds R&D Centre status (awarded 2009) and develops a proprietary product portfolio organized around five categories: biomaterial prostheses (Codubix cranial and chest wall implants, including CAD/CAM-customized cranial grafts and Codubix Orbital Wall 3D), surgical mesh implants (Optomesh in MACROPORE, THINLIGHT, ULTRALIGHT, SUPERULTRALIGHT, 3D, and STOMA variants; G-MESH), urological tapes (Dallop NM and Dallop NM ULTRALIGHT for stress urinary incontinence), advanced wound dressings (Medisorb P Plus, Tromboguard haemostatic dressing with chitosan and alginates), and burn treatment/rehabilitation products (Codosil silicone dressings, Codopress compression garments, plus the Silogel scar gel launched in 2022). Tricobelt hernia belts and Codoloops surgical markers round out the catalog.

The company serves three primary customer segments: hospitals and surgical centers purchasing CE-marked sterile implants and consumables for craniomaxillofacial, thoracic, urology, general, vascular, neurosurgical, orthopedic, and gynecological procedures; burn treatment and rehabilitation centers requiring custom Codopress compression garments and Codosil silicone dressings; and individual patients accessing scar-care products directly through the Codopress measurement network, matopat24.pl, and Allegro.pl. Revenue is generated via one-time device sales to healthcare providers (B2B) and direct consumer sales for compression garments and scar care (B2C). The go-to-market is sales-led: a dedicated Sales Department (multiple phone lines) plus an Export Department handle hospital and international accounts, while consumer products flow through e-commerce and physical measuring points in Poland. International reach is mediated by the TZMO Global distribution network and partner Cosmos Medical International Sàrl covering France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, and Switzerland.

Tricomed's technology base rests on proprietary knitting of polypropylene and polyester meshes and prostheses, multi-layer polyurethane foam dressing constructions, and CAD/CAM-based custom implant manufacturing. The company has accumulated registered trademarks across its full product portfolio (Codubix, Optomesh, Dallop, Codopress, Codosil, Medisorb, Tromboguard, G-MESH, Codoloops, Tricobelt, Silogel) and a multi-decade patent estate covering ophthalmic tapes/implants, synthetic skin, vascular patches, and specialized implants. Operations and manufacturing are concentrated at the Łódź headquarters (Świętojańska 5/9), which houses Sales, Export, HR, R&D, Quality Control, and the Codopress compression garment section. The firm has been recognized with multiple international innovation awards (Seoul, iCan, INOVA, Poznań International Fair) and quality certifications (Golden Emblem QI Program 2020, Quality Award 2018), and declared MDR compliance readiness in 2020 alongside parent TZMO Group.
