Cordamed

What Cordamed does

Cordamed GmbH is a German medical-technology distributor and service provider founded in 1998 and headquartered in Heidenau near Dresden. The company supplies respiratory therapy equipment — including non-invasive and invasive ventilation devices (ResMed Lumis, Stellar, Astral; Breas Vivo series; Löwenstein LUISA), masks, mechanical cough-assist devices (CARO, Clearo, BiWaze, Eove EO-70), oxygen therapy systems (portable and stationary concentrators, liquid oxygen, cylinders), nebulizers, and patient monitors — to two principal customer segments: homecare patients with chronic respiratory conditions (sleep apnea, COPD, ALS, neuromuscular disease, neonatal/pediatric) and German clinics and hospitals, where it provides MRI-compatible equipment such as the IRadimed 3880 patient monitor (up to 30,000 Gauss), antimagnetic transport monitors, MRI infusion pumps, and MRI ventilation and anesthesia systems from Hamilton Medical and Löwenstein.

Cordamed operates on a hardware-sales-plus-services model. Revenue is generated through the sale and rental of medical devices, with reimbursement flowing through the German statutory health insurance system (GKV), supplemented by recurring revenue from technical maintenance (STK/MTK), repair, device exchange, and a 24/7 emergency hotline. Ancillary revenue comes from certified training programs — including the Basiskurs Außerklinische Intensivpflege recognized under §132l SGB V, Train-the-Trainer sessions for ResMed/Breas/Löwenstein devices, and continuing education — plus prescription-template and health-insurance coordination services for prescribing physicians. Go-to-market is sales-led via a nationwide field-sales force organized by geographic territories (NRW, Bayern, Nord, Ost, Südwest, Berlin & Brandenburg, Mitte) with dedicated product managers for radiology, neonatology, and polysomnography, supported by an inside-sales team and homecare application specialists. The company is prequalified for all GKV funds (since 2011), holds continuous ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certification (since 2000), and is a subsidiary of the Saegeling-Unternehmensgruppe, which has partner companies in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
