Suplimed

What Suplimed does

Suplimed SRL is a Dominican Republic–based importer and distributor of medicines, surgical consumables, medical instruments, and high-technology medical equipment, founded in 1987 by Ramón A. Santana and headquartered at Avenida San Martín 200, Ensanche Kennedy, Santo Domingo. The company functions as the bridge between global medical-device manufacturers and the Dominican healthcare sector, holding exclusive Dominican representation rights for Fresenius Medical Care (dialysis systems including Genius 90, Genius Express, and SILENCIA) and Baumer (orthopedic implants and infection control), and serving as channel partner for BD, Narang, Demetech, Trividia Health, and Greenlab. Its core product portfolio is anchored on three categories: critical-care dialysis solutions (with first-in-Central-America-and-Caribbean positioning), orthopedic devices including the Non-Conventional Baumer Prosthesis and Clavo GAMMA NARANG osteosynthesis system, and consumables such as Chloraprep surgical antiseptic.

The company operates a B2B field-sales GTM motion organized across 7 metropolitan sales zones plus a dedicated North region team, supported by a clinical manager and a government account supervisor, and engages healthcare institutions via direct WhatsApp contact for specialized product inquiries. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, recurring consumables distribution, and managed dialysis services support, with pricing handled on a quote/volume-contract basis and no public pricing disclosure. Suplimed serves a diversified base of 2,100+ customers — including 1,500 doctors across specialties, 950 private pharmacies, public hospitals, private clinics, and laboratories — with strategic anchor relationships such as CEDIMAT, and operates as part of Grupo de Empresas Suplimed with 200+ employees. The firm is privately held by the Santana family with no institutional investors or public listing evidenced.
