Bos Medical International B.V.

What Bos Medical International B.V. does

Bos Medical International B.V. is a privately held Dutch importer and supplier of anti-decubitus (pressure ulcer prevention) medical devices, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Rijen, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands. Operating with a lean team of 8 employees, the company positions itself as a specialized anti-decubitus partner for European healthcare providers, focusing on the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers in bedridden, seated, and surgically positioned patients. Its portfolio spans four core categories: lying products (foam, hybrid, and alternating pressure mattresses plus pumps), sitting products (wheelchair cushions across air, gel-foam, gel-air, and alternating technologies), positioning products (gel and foam positioners for operating rooms and wards), and pumps. Underlying technologies include proprietary UF-technology combining polyurethane and foam, Viscofoam with silicone cores, and medical-grade antibacterial PU coatings, with the full range certified as Class I medical devices under MDR Directive 2017/745.

The company's revenue model is built on direct hardware sales to nursing homes, hospitals, home care providers, and operating rooms, supplemented by a private label manufacturing service that allows customers to brand products under their own logo and slogan. Pricing is entirely quote-based with no public list prices, and the company supports dropshipping for channel partners. Go-to-market is primarily through its own multilingual e-commerce storefront (Dutch, English, Polish, French, German, Spanish) complemented by a knowledge center blog, YouTube product demonstrations, and LinkedIn for professional engagement. Distribution is direct from in-house inventory with quote-request fulfillment, and the company emphasizes 30+ years of regulatory expertise, clinical co-development with medical staff and physiotherapists, and competitive pricing against larger incumbents in the European medical device market.
