Fellerhoff MED TEC GmbH

What Fellerhoff MED TEC GmbH does

Fellerhoff MED TEC GmbH is a privately held German medical device company founded in 2009 by Ralf Fellerhoff and headquartered in Oberhausen, Germany. The company rents and sells anti-decubitus (pressure ulcer prevention and therapy) systems and bariatric care solutions to hospitals and clinical facilities, primarily within the DACH region. Its portfolio is organized around five product lines: the CareSerie digital pressure-adjustable mattress overlay with sensor-based automatic pressure regulation and three therapy modes; the ViscoSerie foam-based mattress replacement systems using viscoelastic, memory foam, and gel foam constructions; the Bari3000 bariatric specialty bed rated for patients up to 380 kg; the LowMotion low-floor bariatric bed rated for patients up to 250 kg; and the Lagerungskissen positioning cushions filled with a foam-and-bead combination. Underlying technology combines viscoelastic foam, integrated air-foam cells with one-way inlet valves, and embedded sensor systems that automatically detect patient weight and adjust cell pressure without manual input.

The business operates a B2B direct-sales and rental model targeting hospital and nursing/care facility buyers, with no public pricing, no online store, and limited digital marketing. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, recurring rental contracts, full-service and maintenance agreements, and budget/flatrate packages that include consumption statistics for predictable facility-level cost planning. Service differentiation is central to the go-to-market: Fellerhoff provides individual concept planning, delivery, installation, user training, maintenance/repair, and 365-day customer support including Sundays and holidays. Marketing channels are minimal — direct personal engagement and sponsorship of the Pflegekongress Oberhausen nursing congress — reflecting the founder-led, relationship-driven nature of the company. The firm is small (approximately 7 employees), operates without disclosed institutional funding or parent company, and has no recorded patents, trademarks, certifications, or named enterprise customers in the available data.
