What Medical supply store Konrad does

Sanitätshaus Konrad GmbH is a privately held German medical supply house (Sanitätshaus) and orthopedic technology manufacturer headquartered in Neustrelitz, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Founded in 1990 by Rainer Konrad, the company operates six company-owned branch locations (Neustrelitz, Neubrandenburg, Strasburg, Templin, Wittstock, Rheinsberg) and a central 1,500 sqm workshop established in 2015 as the Hilfsmittelkompetenzcenter for Neuro-Orthopaedics. Its core activities are the design, manufacture, and fitting of custom prosthetics (myoelectric arms, electronic leg prostheses including Genium X3 and Kenevo, bath prostheses), orthotics (full-leg carbon-fiber NEURO TRONIC systems, FES-based NESS L300 and H200 devices from Bioness, scoliosis corsets, Talee 3D-printed cranial helmets), orthopedic footwear (custom-made shoes, diabetic foot beds, CAD-CAM insoles via 3D foot scanning and CNC milling), and rehabilitation equipment (wheelchairs, care beds, patient lifters, rollators), supplemented by incontinence and stoma care supplies. The production workflow couples 3D foot scanning, CAD modeling, and CNC milling with certified orthopedic craftsmanship, while microprocessor-controlled prosthetic components are sourced from tier-one suppliers such as Otto Bock, Touch Bionics, and Bioness and fitted/adapted in-house.

The revenue model is overwhelmingly a German statutory health insurance (GKV) Hilfsmittelversorgung business: prescriptions are issued by physicians and therapists, the company delivers or rents the medical aid, and reimbursement is processed through the patient's Krankenkasse, with patient co-payment on certain items. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales via physical retail — detailed personal consultation at each branch by qualified orthopedic technicians, with referral relationships into local medical practices sustaining the prescription funnel. Customer segments are primarily patients with mobility impairments, amputees, stroke or spinal-cord-injury rehabilitation cases, pediatric orthopedic conditions (scoliosis, cranial deformities), diabetic foot syndrome, and incontinence/stoma needs; a secondary niche serves athletes and sports enthusiasts requiring compression therapy and protective orthoses. Distribution is exclusively regional within Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with five physical branches plus the HQ workshop, sponsorship of local sports clubs (TSG Neustrelitz, PSV), and a content-marketing website. Commercial training seminars on FES-based neurorehabilitation extend the firm's reach into the therapist referral network.

Governance is founder-led: Rainer Konrad (Managing Director / Geschäftsführer since 1990) and Ray Schumann jointly run the GmbH, with no evidence of external private-equity, venture-capital, or institutional investment. Headcount stood at 35 employees as of 2015 and is not updated in available sources. The firm is actively operating, with a municipal sidewalk-reconstruction project at its Neubrandenburg branch scheduled from January to October 2026 indicating physical-presence continuity. No acquisitions, funding rounds, leadership changes, or M&A activity are disclosed, and the operating geography is explicitly limited to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with no stated ambition to expand beyond the region.

Direct peers

• SCHEIN Orthopädie Service KG: German orthopedic supply and service company operating multiple branches across multiple states with prescription-based prosthetics, orthotics, and rehabilitation products. Closely comparable regional Sanitätshaus model, though at broader geographic scale than Konrad.
• Sanitätshaus Aktuell: Germany's largest Sanitätshaus cooperative with hundreds of partner stores nationwide. Operates the same multi-branch orthopedic/medical supply retail model with prescription-backed products and in-house workshop manufacturing, but at dramatically greater scale than Konrad's five-branch footprint.
• ORTHEG: Cooperative network of independent German orthopedic supply stores offering prosthetics, orthotics, and rehabilitation equipment under a shared brand and purchasing umbrella. Directly comparable business model to Sanitätshaus Konrad but with substantially broader geographic coverage.
• Wilhelm Julius Teufel GmbH: German orthopedic technology specialist focused on orthopedic footwear, custom insoles, and orthotic devices. Closely comparable to Konrad's Schuhtechnik and custom orthotic manufacturing operations, though Teufel operates more as a manufacturer-supplier to retail partners.
• Streifeneder ortho.production GmbH: German orthopedic technology manufacturer and supplier of prosthetics, orthotics, and orthopedic footwear components. Comparable to Konrad on the manufacturing side but serves a B2B retail network rather than operating its own patient-facing branches.
• Sana Sanitätshaus GmbH: German Sanitätshaus chain affiliated with the Sana hospital group, providing prescription-based orthopedic aids, prosthetics, and rehabilitation equipment through regional branches. Operates the same patient-facing model as Konrad but with affiliation-driven scale advantages.

Broad incumbents

• medi GmbH & Co. KG: Large German medical device manufacturer with strong product overlap in compression therapy, orthoses, and braces. Competes in adjacent categories to Konrad's Sanitätshaus retail offering but as a manufacturer/distributor rather than a regional fitting specialist.
• Bioness Inc. Manufacturer of functional electrical stimulation (FES) systems including the L300 foot drop system and H200 hand rehabilitation device featured at Sanitätshaus Konrad. Indirect peer via shared product platform rather than direct retail competition.
• Ottobock: Global market leader in prosthetic components (including the Genium and Kenevo microprocessor knees that Konrad fits). Functions as both a technology partner and indirect benchmark for service standards, though Ottobock operates primarily as a manufacturer rather than a regional Sanitätshaus.
• Bauerfeind AG: Major German manufacturer of orthopedic braces, compression stockings, and supports (a featured partner brand on Konrad's website). Overlaps with Konrad's product portfolio on the manufacturing/supply side but does not operate patient-facing fitting branches at Konrad's scale.
