Sanitätshaus Klein

What Sanitätshaus Klein does

Sanitätshaus Klein operates as Reha-Activ e.K., a sole proprietorship founded in 1993 that runs a traditional regional Sanitätshaus (medical supply retail) business across four locations in North Rhine-Westphalia — Rösrath (headquarters), Köln, Overath, and Gummersbach. The company serves individual patients with health limitations, post-operative rehabilitation needs, and chronic conditions, offering personal consultation and fitting for rehabilitation technology (Reha-Technik), medical technology (Medizin-Technik), orthopedic technology (Orthopädie-Technik), classic medical supplies (Sanitätsprodukte), daily living aids (Alltagshilfen), and homecare services.

The underlying technology is minimal: there is no proprietary platform, no API, and no digital e-commerce channel — operations center on physical retail, in-person product fitting, and phone/email contact. Products are sourced as physical goods (wheelchairs, walkers, orthopedic supports, compression therapy products, medical equipment) and sold or fitted to patients.

The business model is direct-to-consumer hardware retail reimbursed through German statutory and private health insurance (GKV/PKV). Revenue is generated from product sales tied to medical prescriptions, with the company acting as the supplier and fitter rather than a payor or manufacturer. Customers reach the business primarily through walk-in visits, healthcare provider prescriptions, and referrals — no digital marketing or large enterprise contracts are evident. In June 2026 the company disclosed a significant cyber attack that exposed customer personal, health, insurance, and payment data, prompting a GDPR Art. 34(3)(c) public notice and reporting to the Kriminalpolizei and the LDI NRW data protection authority.
