What Luxamed does

Luxamed GmbH & Co. KG is a German medical technology company founded in 2013 by Harald Bühler, Matthias Dubb and Bernhard Winter, headquartered and manufacturing in Blaubeuren on the Schwäbische Alb. The company designs and produces a comprehensive portfolio of clinical diagnostic instruments — otoscopes (LuxaScope Auris), ophthalmoscopes (LuxaScope Oculus), dermatoscopes, laryngoscopes, stethoscopes (LuxaScope Sonus), examination lamps (LED and FOCUS focusable models), sphygmomanometers, reflex hammers, tuning forks, penlights and pulse oximeters, including dedicated Black Edition, Kids Collection and VET variants. Customers include general practitioners, specialists (ENT, ophthalmology, dermatology, anesthesiology), veterinarians, hospitals and clinics, served through a B2B/B2C hardware model with international sales in more than 90 countries.

The technological backbone is a set of proprietary LED-based illumination systems. The proprietary LED-Ring technology arranges concentric LEDs with constant current drive to deliver unrestricted, maintenance-free illumination fields with approximately 100,000-hour lifespans, replacing traditional fibre-optic systems. The 2024-launched CCT (Correlated Colour Temperature) technology enables push-button switching between ~3,000 K warm-white and ~6,000 K cold-white light, optimising contrast for visualisation of vessels and highly perfused tissue. The portfolio further features integrated fibre-optic bundles (up to ~8,000 fibres) in laryngoscope blades, polarised light for moist sites, modular interchangeable heads on common handles, USB-chargeable laryngoscope handles, and EN ISO 13485 / EU MDR compliance across product categories.

Luxamed operates a direct hardware sales model primarily through a multi-language website (DE, EN, FR, ES) supplemented by distributor networks and trade fair participation (Medica in Düsseldorf). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; standard terms include a 2% discount within 14 days or net 30, with 3% discount for advance payment, free domestic shipping above a net goods value of €500, and EXW Incoterms for international shipments. Since June 2024, Luxamed has been a subsidiary of the French diversified medical devices conglomerate Spengler Group, which provides international distribution across more than 90 countries. Headcount is in the 11-50 range; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
