What MEDGAL Sp z o.o. does

MEDGAL Sp z o.o. is a Polish orthopedic medical device manufacturer founded in 1984, headquartered in Księżyno near Białystok, with 48 employees and 40+ years of operating history. The company is recognized as the creator of the first certified Polish hip endoprosthesis system (Medgal-Hip) and manufactures hip joint endoprostheses, locking intramedullary nails, plates, and bone screws, along with specialized surgical instrument sets. MEDGAL sells directly to hospitals and orthopedic surgeons in Poland, with a veterinary orthopedic sub-brand (MEDGAL VET) addressing the animal health vertical as a secondary segment.

The company's core technology is built around proprietary surface coatings — specifically the 3BioTi titanium structure and Si-DLC (silicon-doped diamond-like carbon) layer — which are applied to implants to enhance biocompatibility and osseointegration. All production is conducted in-house at the Księżyno facility on numerical machinery from leading manufacturers, with a flagship Custom Made Implants (CMI) digital ordering platform enabling surgeons to commission patient-tailored implants. The product portfolio spans cementless and cemented acetabular cups, multiple stem variants (Medgalius, Methafit, standard, revision with Si-DLC), ceramic and CoCrMo femoral heads, bipolar and total hip systems, and a broad locking nail range covering tibial, femoral, humeral, forearm, and fibular fractures.

MEDGAL operates as a private Polish limited liability company (Sp. z o.o.) with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or public listing. Revenue is generated through direct B2B hardware sales of implants and instrumentariums to healthcare institutions via a field sales motion, with pricing conducted on a quote-based model. The company is EU MDR 2017/745 compliant, supporting regulatory standing within the European medical device framework, though its operating geography remains limited to Poland with no disclosed international expansion.
