Value Medical

What Value Medical does

Value Medical is a French medical device brokerage and asset management firm that operates as an intermediary in the secondary market for used medical equipment. Founded circa 2014 and headquartered in Saint-Malo, France, the company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Verso Healthcare, which itself belongs to GROUPE MACSF. Value Medical serves healthcare establishments (public hospitals, private clinics, imaging centers, biology laboratories), independent medical specialists, manufacturers and distributors, medical equipment financing companies, and humanitarian organizations across France, Switzerland, and the Benelux region, with a claimed active client base of more than 2,500.

The company's core product is its brokerage service, anchored by a proprietary valuation methodology called Côte Argus Active and an internally developed software platform named OptiDM. OptiDM consolidates expertise and valuation data for over 30,600 medical devices, providing the basis for independent market price assessments that Value Medical provides free of charge to prospective sellers. The offering spans four integrated service lines: on-site evaluation (Evaluer), sales brokerage (Vendre), dismantling and relocation supervision (Déménager), and ongoing asset management. Distribution is delivered through a field team of eight biomedical engineers covering French regions plus Switzerland and Benelux, who handle on-site expertise, project management, and disassembly supervision.

Value Medical's revenue model is performance-based: the company provides valuations free of charge and earns commission only on completed transactions, aligning its incentives with client outcomes. Sellers' devices are matched against a network of more than 500 specialized buyer companies (brokers, refurbishers, third-party maintenance providers, and distributors), with competition among buyers driving realized sale prices. The company provides full legal documentation packages for compliance with French medical device disposal legislation, and operates as a member of industry associations including SNITEM and the French Healthcare Association, with active presence at international trade shows such as Arab Health, ECR Vienna, and AFIB.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• TRIMEDX: US-based clinical engineering and healthcare technology management company serving thousands of hospitals. Comparable as a broader healthcare asset management services provider, though operating at much greater scale and breadth than Value Medical.
• Siemens Healthineers: Global medical technology company with imaging and radiotherapy portfolios and refurbishment/refurbished equipment offerings. Adjacent in the secondary imaging market and a major source of devices that flow through brokers like Value Medical.
• Philips Healthcare: Global medical equipment manufacturer and services provider with a large installed base of imaging devices. Comparable as a major upstream party whose devices form the supply of the secondary market Value Medical services.
• Agiliti: US-based medical equipment management and lifecycle services company providing rental, maintenance, and asset management to healthcare providers. Comparable in the healthcare equipment lifecycle services space, though much larger and more diversified.
• GE HealthCare: Global manufacturer of medical imaging and diagnostic equipment with growing certified pre-owned and trade-in programs. Represents a potential disintermediation risk for Value Medical as OEMs move into secondary markets.

Emerging players

• Medwow: Global online marketplace for buying and selling used medical equipment. Comparable as a marketplace intermediary in the same secondary medical device market, though more digital/marketplace-led than Value Medical's field-engineer-led model.

Direct peers

• LBN Medical: Danish-headquartered buyer and reseller of pre-owned medical imaging equipment, serving hospitals and clinics worldwide. Closely comparable as an independent European intermediary specializing in secondary-market imaging devices.
• Block Imaging: US-based leading reseller of used and refurbished medical imaging equipment (MRI, CT, ultrasound, C-arm). Most directly comparable to Value Medical in business model — buying from healthcare providers, refurbishing or remarketing, with strong service and logistics capabilities.
• Probo Medical: US-based provider of refurbished ultrasound and imaging equipment with a global buyer/seller network. Comparable as a transaction-driven intermediary monetizing the secondary market for medical devices.
• Radiology Oncology Systems: Specializes in buying, selling, and servicing used radiation therapy and oncology equipment (LINACs, simulators). Highly relevant given Value Medical's new radiotherapy/nuclear medicine cell and 30+ LINAC disassemblies track record.
