MEDICOS

What MEDICOS does

MEDICOS, a brand of Creative Contract (M) Sdn. Bhd., is a Malaysian manufacturer of medical-grade face masks and healthcare personal protective equipment (PPE) headquartered in Klang, Malaysia. Founded in 1991, the company designs, produces, and sells surgical face masks across multiple series (Classic, Ultra Soft, HydroCharge, Limited, Children) and premium particulate respirators under the M99 line (PRO, NEO, and FLIP variants). The core technical platform is the proprietary HydroCharge™ water electret charging process, which embeds permanent electrostatic charge into meltblown filters to achieve up to 50% higher breathability and 3x higher particle trapping capability versus regular masks; the M99 5-layer filter system was co-developed and validated with NIOSH Malaysia, meeting N95, KN95, FFP2, and KF94 global standards. Beyond masks, MEDICOS manufactures a full PPE portfolio including standard and reinforced surgical gowns (AAMI Level III), 30/40/45 gsm isolation gowns with PE coating, CPE gowns, SMMMS patient gowns, SMS coveralls and lab coats, LDPE aprons, and scrub suits.

The company sells through a diversified omni-channel model: direct B2B sales to hospitals, laboratories, dental practices, and pharmacies (the original go-to-market); a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at shop.medicos.com.my; and third-party marketplace listings on Shopee and Lazada. Approximately 90% of production is exported to Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia, covering six of seven continents. MEDICOS generates revenue primarily through one-time unit-priced product sales, with per-box pricing (e.g., 50-piece boxes for surgical masks) across its various product lines; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company holds ISO 13485:2016, ASTM F2100 Levels 1-3, EN14683 Type II/IIR, ISO 10993 biocompatibility (SIRIM-tested), MDA establishment registration, and NIOSH certifications, making it one of the few Malaysian-owned manufacturers offering a vertically integrated, certified PPE supply chain.
