ORGAMed Dortmund

What ORGAMed Dortmund does

ORGAMed Dortmund GmbH is a privately held ambulatory healthcare provider specializing in the treatment of chronic and hard-to-heal wounds. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Dortmund, the company operates 8 ICW-certified wound centers (Wundzentren) across Germany's Ruhr area — including Dortmund, Bochum, and Unna — and is part of the apraxon Gruppe, a diversified healthcare group that also encompasses apraxon Homecare, dermacon, and TCW. Services cover wound etiologies including venous, arterial, diabetic foot syndrome, pressure ulcers, post-operative wounds, and immunological conditions, delivered by 250 employees under § 132a SGB V regulatory authorization that permits direct billing to all statutory German health insurers via HKP (häusliche Krankenpflege) prescriptions.

The clinical offering combines conventional wound care and compression therapy with a differentiated portfolio of device-based modalities: cold plasma therapy (PlasmaDerm), ultrasound-assisted wound debridement (UAW), wireless microcurrent stimulation (WMCS), LAight® therapy for acne inversa, felt technique (Filztechnik) for diabetic foot pressure redistribution, and manual lymphatic drainage. Quality is governed by the ICW Wundsiegel certification and DIN ISO 9001:2015. The company also operates as an ICW-recognized training provider (Anbieter-Nummer A-00027), running Wundexperte basis courses, recertification programs, and webinars — establishing education as a distinct revenue line and pipeline for referral-network relationships.

The business operates primarily as a sales-led, referral-driven B2B2C model: physicians (GPs, vascular surgeons, phlebologists, dermatologists, diabetologists), medical care centers (MVZ), and hospitals refer patients via HKP prescription; ORGAMed delivers treatment in-center, with temporary home visits where needed and hand-off to apraxon Homecare for permanent home-based care. Secondary revenue streams include self-pay IGeL services (device-based therapies, home visits) and professional training fees ranging from €99 (webinars) to €845 + €205 exam (full 58-hour basis course). Distribution is geographically concentrated in North Rhine-Westphalia, with no disclosed activity outside the Ruhr catchment area.
