Product overview

MDS Medical is a medical devices company providing a comprehensive product portfolio for patients with laryngectomies and tracheotomies, as well as respiratory care products. The offering consists of three main product categories: (1) Laryngectomie — supplies for laryngectomy patients including HME cassettes, filters, speaking valves, voice prostheses, tracheostomy protection, and accessories; (2) Tracheotomie — supplies for tracheotomy patients including tracheal cannulas (pediatric, silver, PDT sets), speaking valves, cleaning and care products; and (3) Slijmuitzuiging en verneveling — mucus suctioning and nebulization equipment. The company previously offered NoseTubes but discontinued this product line in 2024 due to EU MDR regulatory pressures. MDS Medical serves patients in the Netherlands and Belgium through its Groningen-based operation.
