Linde Homecare France

What Linde Homecare France does

Linde Homecare France is a wholly-owned subsidiary (Société par Actions Simplifiée) of Linde plc, operating since 1999 as the French arm of Linde's home healthcare division. It sells medical devices and consumables through its own e-commerce platform (lindehomecare.fr) and delivers home healthcare services for patients with chronic respiratory, metabolic and neurological conditions in France and Belgium. Core product categories include CPAP/PPC devices, masks and accessories for sleep apnea, portable and fixed oxygen concentrators, nebulizers, insulin pump accessories, continuous glucose monitor patches, and skin-protection consumables (3M Cavilon, Tegaderm, BSN Tensospray).

The technology stack centers on an integrated e-commerce storefront paired with three branded digital tools: the LISA® mobile application for sleep apnea therapy adherence tracking, the AIRGENIOUS™ professional platform for clinician access to patient data and prescription management, and the LMD Pro physician portal. The product catalog is assembled through a partnership network with leading OEMs including ResMed, Philips, Medtronic, Dexcom, Insulet, Inogen, Fisher & Paykel, Lowenstein, 3M and Capteur Protect, allowing the business to carry proprietary accessories for each major device family without in-house device R&D.

The business model combines transactional revenue from one-time equipment and consumable sales (priced €1.50-€113.90 per unit) with recurring home healthcare service revenue for Quali'PSAD-certified therapies (sleep apnea, oxygen, ventilation, insulin pump, Parkinson's apomorphine, subcutaneous/IV immunoglobulins). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via lindehomecare.fr with localized French and Belgian storefronts, supplemented by a physician-facing channel (LMD Pro, AIRGENIOUS™) that drives prescription-led demand. The operation is supported from three French locations — Lyon (registered HQ), Bourg-en-Bresse (customer service/returns), and Saint-Priest (data protection).
