What Medcare does

Medcare is a privately held Turkish manufacturer of sterile disposable medical and hygiene products, incorporated as Medcare Sağlık Ürünleri Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi and headquartered in Gaziemir, İzmir. The company was founded in 1989 and operates from a single integrated manufacturing site spanning nonwoven conversion, ultrasonic welding of gown seams, and in-house ethylene oxide sterilization validated to ISO 11135. Its surgical-gown line holds FDA 510(k) clearance and is classified to AAMI PB70 Level 4 in critical zones, a regulatory credential underpinning its export activity.

Medcare sells three product families to a primarily enterprise customer base: (1) sterile surgical drape packs, individual drapes, and surgical gowns (standard, reinforced, laminated, full-protection, and urology variants) for hospital operating rooms across general surgery, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, urology, ophthalmology, and gynecology; (2) adult incontinence products — underpads, adult diapers, absorbent pants, and wet wipes — under the Medcare and METSET sub-brands; and (3) consumer pet training pads under the Paticare and Petset sub-brands. The company manufactures and exports directly under its own brands and offers private-label/OEM packaging for distributors.

Revenue is generated through quote-based direct sales to hospitals and distributors across 45 countries, with no public pricing or revenue disclosure. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a multi-language website (Turkish, English, French, Italian, Russian) and newsletter email marketing; recruitment is run through Kariyer.net and LinkedIn. Three wholly owned sub-brands (Paticare, Petset, METSET) extend the portfolio into adjacent verticals while sharing the underlying nonwoven converting and converting assets.
