What Vivisol B does

VIVISOL B SRL is a Belgian home healthcare service provider founded on 28 March 1995 and headquartered in Lessines, Belgium. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Italy-based SOL Group (founded 1927; 5,700+ employees across four divisions — SOL, VIVISOL, BIOTECHSOL, HYDROSOL). VIVISOL B delivers six core home-therapy service lines to patients across Belgium: oxygen therapy (gaseous, liquid, and concentrator-based, including the ViviTravel pan-European mobility service), sleep apnea treatment (CPAP/APAP/ASV/bilevel devices, masks, NOA mandibular repositioning appliances, positional therapy, and diagnostics via exclusive partner Somnomedics), home mechanical ventilation (with 24/7 technical assistance and backup devices for 24/7 patients), enteral nutrition (personalized formulas with pump rental, 48-hour delivery, free bioimpedance follow-up), and wound care using Smith & Nephew's RENASYS negative pressure therapy system.

The business is structured around equipment provision, home installation by trained staff, ongoing patient follow-up, and 24/7 technical support, with service quality governed by ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2013, GDP, and STHA-actor registrations. Supporting the therapy lines are digital platforms — Vivisoft (patient portal) and Viviportal (HCP extranet) — plus a direct webshop (vivisolbe.shop) and a webshop channel for PAP devices, diagnostic equipment, and accessories. Revenues are generated through a mix of managed-services rentals (CPAP/APAP/ASV rentals, oxygen therapy multi-year contracts, enteral nutrition pump rentals at reimbursement tariffs), hardware and consumables sales, and recurring reimbursement-driven therapy contracts with Belgian health insurers (mutualities). The go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven: pulmonologists, hospitals, respiratory care centers, and dentists prescribe therapies, and VIVISOL B installs and services the equipment at patient homes.

Regional players

• APOTHEEK / MediServ (Belgian homecare distributors): Belgian home medical equipment distributors offering respiratory, sleep, and mobility solutions — comparable local players competing for the same Belgian hospital referrals and home patients.
• Schaeverbeke Group (Homecare Belgium): Belgian homecare equipment provider focused on respiratory and mobility products — a local market peer overlapping with VIVISOL B on oxygen therapy and related equipment supply.

Broad incumbents

• ResMed: Global leader in sleep apnea (CPAP/APAP) and ventilation devices. While a manufacturer rather than a service provider, ResMed competes indirectly via devices supplied through VIVISOL B and rival Belgian providers.
• Philips Respironics: Major manufacturer of CPAP, BiPAP, and home ventilation equipment. Competes via device supply to Belgian homecare providers and through its own homecare service offerings in selected markets.

Direct peers

• B. Braun Avitum / B. Braun Homecare: Provides enteral/parenteral nutrition, infusion therapy, and homecare services across Europe — overlapping with VIVISOL B's enteral nutrition and clinical home health offerings in Belgium.
• Nutricia (Danone Specialized Nutrition): Major supplier of enteral nutrition products and clinical nutrition services in Belgium and Europe — competing directly with VIVISOL B's enteral nutrition line through product supply and home delivery partnerships.
• VitalAire (Air Liquide Healthcare): Air Liquide's home healthcare division providing oxygen therapy, sleep apnea treatment, ventilation, and enteral nutrition across Europe — directly competing head-to-head with VIVISOL B in Belgium on the same core therapy lines.
• Linde Healthcare: Linde's home respiratory and homecare business providing oxygen therapy, sleep diagnostics, and chronic care services — competing directly with VIVISOL B in Belgium through overlapping therapy portfolios.

Emerging players

• Home Assist Belgium: Belgian home healthcare services provider offering infusion, palliative, and respiratory support — directly overlapping with VIVISOL B's home-based clinical therapy services in Belgium.
• Smith & Nephew (Wound Care): Manufacturer of the RENASYS negative pressure wound therapy system that VIVISOL B distributes; competes through direct sales to Belgian hospitals and could at times bypass homecare distributors.
