Medel Tıp

What Medel Tıp does

Medel Tıp is a Turkish medical device importer and distributor founded in 1992 in Ankara, operating as a privately held joint stock corporation (A.Ş.). The company began import operations in 1995 and has since built sole authorized distribution rights for 20+ international medical device brands. It serves healthcare institutions across Turkey — hospitals and surgical centers — in surgical specialties including neurosurgery, general surgery, interventional radiology, orthopedics/traumatology, plastic surgery, ENT, cardiology, oncology, organ transplantation, urology, endocrinology, and wound care. The company is headquartered in Yenimahalle, Ankara, with a regional office in Kadıköy, Istanbul, and distributes through 20 local dealers and home office representatives; it holds ISO 9001:2015 certification continuously since 2006 and operates within a group of 4 related entities with approximately 60 personnel.

The company's portfolio spans both capital equipment and consumables sourced exclusively from foreign manufacturers, including surgical microscopes (MITAKA MM90/MM80/MM51 and HAWKSIGHT 4K3D video microscope), neurosurgical navigation and cranial stabilization (Elekta Leksell Stereotactic System, DORO QR3/Lucent/HALO), electrosurgical and high-speed power tools (Medtronic PlasmaBlade, Aquamantys, Midas Rex MR8, AEX generator), ultrasonic surgical systems (Söring SONOCA 300/185, LEVICS, HEPACCS), tumor ablation systems (STARMED VIVA RF, ECO SABERWAVE microwave), endoscopic minimally invasive spine surgery (JOIMAX iLESSYS Pro/Delta, TESSYS Std), surgical instruments (ACRA CUT, TAKASAGO, INTEGRA, EMD), orthopedic trauma (KANGUI/Medtronic), and wound care products (Drawtex hydroconductive dressing, NANOEX regenerative matrix, RICREO derma gel).

The business model is hardware sales — both devices and consumables — to enterprise hospital customers via direct field sales from the Ankara and Istanbul offices, supplemented by a 20-dealer network and home-office representatives. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. After-sales training and technical service are core to the customer relationship. Founder Necmettin Turan serves as owner and manager. Recent additions (JOIMAX in November 2024, RICREO in January 2025, NANOEX in May 2025) indicate active portfolio expansion, particularly into minimally invasive spine and regenerative wound care.
