BAP Medical

What BAP Medical does

BAP Medical BV is a Netherlands-based medical device company founded in 2006 and headquartered in Apeldoorn, with manufacturing carried out at an ISO 13485-certified facility in Belgium using solar and heat-pump powered production. The company develops, produces, and markets branded medical devices in two clinical domains: skin conditions (scars, eczema, burns, chronic and acute wounds) and ear, nose, and throat disorders. It operates through three internal divisions covering vulnerable skin, ENT solutions, and complex wound care, and reports distribution in more than 70 countries.

The product portfolio spans roughly seventeen sub-brands and includes a patented wound-spray formulation combining Neem oil and Saint John's oil (the WOUND brand, classified as an EU Class IIB medical device), silicone-based scar therapy lines (BAPSCARCARE, Scarban), an air-pressure compression device for venous leg ulcers (PneumaSox), magnetic nasal dilators (NoseWings), nasal irrigation systems (NasoFree), a family of pure-honey-based topical products (AnaMel, DerMel, NasuMel, RhinoBlock, OhroMel, Mellosan), and single-use ENT and dermatology instruments marketed under the DOS Medical brand. The firm holds registered trademarks across most product lines and is certified under EU Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.

BAP Medical is privately held with 11-50 employees, no disclosed outside investors, and no parent company. It sells primarily through a network of international distributors supported by participation in major trade fairs (Medica, EWMA, EBA Congress, Scar Club) and clinical education tools (BAPSCARCARE Detail Aid, Scar Guide). In June 2025 the company acquired BiologiQ, expanding its wound-care portfolio with medical-grade honey, maggot therapy, oxidised solutions, active wound matrices, and cinnamon-based dressings.
