Prodimed

What Prodimed does

Prodimed is a French medical device manufacturer founded in 1980, specializing in the design and production of single-use Class III sterile medical devices. The company's portfolio is organized into two primary segments: Critical Care (central venous catheters under the Seldiflex®2 brand in single and multi-lumen configurations, and balloon vascular catheters for embolectomy and occlusion procedures) and Medically Assisted Procreation / Gynecology (intra-uterine insemination devices, follicular puncture instruments, embryo transfer catheters, and endometrial biopsy tools). Manufacturing relies on established techniques including the Seldinger technique for catheter introduction, with two French production sites in Neuilly-en-Thelle (gynecology/ART for Laboratoire CCD) and Plessis-Bouchard (Critical Care and single-use instrumentation).

The company operates a hybrid B2B go-to-market: direct sales in France combined with a distributor network covering nearly 70 countries internationally, with dedicated export sales managed through the Laboratoire CCD commercial infrastructure. Seldiflex®2 products are manufactured by BAIHE under CE 2460 certification and distributed by Prodimed, while other lines are produced in-house. The business model is fundamentally hardware sales of proprietary single-use devices sold to healthcare professionals across gynecology, intensive care, vascular surgery, dental surgery, and plastic surgery specialties.

Prodimed is a privately held French SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) with declared capital of 728,000 euros, registered in Paris (RCS 324 918 283). The company maintains a long-standing strategic partnership with Laboratoire CCD dating to the 1980s, which constitutes a foundational commercial relationship defining a significant portion of its product portfolio. No public revenue, funding history, M&A activity, or growth signals are disclosed; the company presents as a stable, mature small-cap medical device manufacturer with established regulatory certifications (CE 2460) and a diversified international distribution footprint.
