What Human Protection does

Human Protection B.V. (founded 1987, Tilburg, Netherlands) is a specialized medical safety equipment company that designs, manufactures, and distributes products for risk situations in healthcare settings, operating with a workforce of 38 employees. The portfolio is organized around four solution areas: (1) safe sleeping products including low-profile floor beds (Proxima lowering to 11.5cm, Contesa to 10cm) and canopy/tent beds (FeelSafe Go, FeelSafe Pro, Micro-Cosmos) that provide enclosed yet low-restraint environments for restless patients; (2) fall-prevention and motion-detection systems including the Daza wireless sensor family (Optiscan motion sensor, Bedscan patient-specific motion detector, Optiseat chair alarm, Pager receiver supporting up to 16 transmitters) and the FallSafe impact-absorbing mat rated to absorb 40-75% of fall impact; (3) physical restraint alternatives including Salvaclip restraint bands, Salvafast reusable neoprene and disposable wrist/ankle fixation systems, Salvafix Memory Pro kits, and heavy-duty magnetic locks with up to 400kg pull force for SEH and psychiatric settings; and (4) neonatal care products including the Blinky adhesive phototherapy eye protector, nasal cannula fixation straps, tracheal cannula holders, and pulse oximeter wraps. Operations are ISO 13485 certified for medical device quality management with UKAS and BSI marks, and the in-house cleaning/laundry service operates under MDR-compliant traceability and microbiological quality testing.

The company monetizes through a hybrid revenue model combining (a) one-time product sales via the e-commerce shop (shop.humanprotection.nl) and direct enterprise sales, (b) recurring 24/7 equipment rental with delivery within 4 hours across the Benelux region, (c) modular training programs (safe sleeping, fall risk, physical aggression, medical equipment pulling) delivered at the FeelSafe Plein training center using professional actors for scenario practice, (d) managed cleaning services with full traceability registration, and (e) advisory and consulting services. Customer acquisition is driven by a freemium 2-week trial placement model letting healthcare facilities test solutions without obligation, supported by a direct enterprise sales force and an inside sales team operating 8:30-17:00 via phone (+31 (0)13-536 38 07) and email ([email protected]).

Human Protection serves four primary customer segments — elderly care and nursing homes, hospitals and medical centers, neonatology/pediatrics units, and (secondarily) home healthcare and aviation — with a geographic footprint spanning the Netherlands, Belgium (referenced customer WZC De Bekelaar, Lommel), and Germany via a localized German-language homepage. Reference customers include Laurentius Ziekenhuis and Training of Mars. The entity is a privately held Dutch BV (Human Protection B.V.) with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or stock listing.
