What BS Medical does

Boseong Meditec Co., Ltd (BS Medical) is a privately held South Korean manufacturer of personal thermal medical devices, founded in May 1995 and headquartered in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon. The company designs, produces, and sells 8 thermal medical device variants — including graphene carbon, illite, natural amethyst, and precious serpentine carbon product lines — alongside 2 in-house heating elements (carbon fiber and mesh type) and a small set of consumer wellness appliances (hydrogen water generator, sauna mat heater, electric steamer). Its core technology revolves around carbon fiber-based far-infrared and near-infrared heating elements with proprietary graphene integration and electromagnetic-wave shielding fabrics, manufactured under a medical device manufacturing license (since March 2003) and GMP certification.

The company monetizes through hardware sales of thermal medical mats and wellness appliances, supported by an in-house repair center and after-sales service. It goes to market directly to South Korean end consumers via its own website (bsmedi.com) and consultation-based phone and email engagement, with no disclosed distribution partnerships, international sales, or enterprise accounts. The revenue model is therefore a long-tail consumer hardware sale with adjacent professional-services income from repairs.

Boseong Meditec holds 19 certificates and patents, including 9 patent certificates covering heating yarn manufacturing methods (Patents 10-2350881 and 10-2350880), graphene-containing fabrics and soap, a multi-pole carbon-electrode water heater, and a portable hydrogen water generator. The company is led by CEO Sang-chae SEO and operates with approximately 31 employees, with no disclosed external funding rounds or institutional investors. Its growth has been marked by three corporate relocations (2008, 2017, 2021) and incremental product-line diversification from regulated thermal medical mats into adjacent wellness appliances.
