Mano Medical

What Mano Medical does

Mano Medical is a French veterinary medical equipment distributor and specifier, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Lanvallay, Brittany. The company designs products to its own specifications for animal use and commercializes them under its own brand across imaging (digital radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy), surgery (laser therapy, electrosurgery, anesthesia, monitoring), diagnostic/monitoring (multi-parameter monitors, blood pressure, hematology analyzers), and clinic equipment (sterilization, tables, lighting, air purification). Notable proprietary and distributed platforms include the Mano DR Imaging silicon flat-panel sensor with ManoVet acquisition software, the LaserFlex LT24 four-wavelength therapeutic laser (650/810/915/980nm, 1,300+ protocols), EcoSteam FBS autoclave, OFlexi/OSeri endoscopy, SM100 multi-parameter monitor, Sonoscape P50 ultrasound with DICOM 3.0, and exclusive European distribution of petMAP blood pressure devices.

Mano Medical generates revenue through direct one-time hardware sales to veterinary clinics, recurring fees from the MAD (Mise à Disposition) equipment leasing program — which eliminates upfront capital for clinics in exchange for monthly rental fees and a total equipment guarantee — and paid professional training (laser therapy certification at €390 HT per person). The company reaches customers through field sales, inside sales, dedicated partner portals for veterinary groupements with preferential pricing, presence at veterinary congresses (AFVAC, AVEF), webinars with specialist veterinarians, blog and YouTube content, and Facebook. Its primary customer segments are companion-animal clinics and hospitals (primary), equine veterinarians (secondary), and veterinary purchasing networks (secondary).

The company operates without a parent, without disclosed institutional investors, and without disclosed funding rounds. It is privately held and 25+ years in operation, self-described as a leader in France across imaging, laser therapy and blood pressure monitoring. Strategic emphasis has shifted toward portfolio breadth (yearly catalog refreshes through 2026), new recurring-revenue mechanisms (MAD), AI-enabled imaging add-on services (SignalPET distribution since 2024), and vertical extension into equine practice. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Mano Medical designs, develops, and distributes a comprehensive portfolio of veterinary medical equipment — including digital radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, therapeutic lasers, multi-parameter monitors, autoclaves, hematology analyzers, and clinic furnishings — built to its own specifications for use on animals rather than adapted human devices. The company also operates an innovative equipment leasing program (MAD – Mise à Disposition) that lets veterinary clinics access equipment with zero capital outlay, and distributes exclusive brands such as petMAP (European blood pressure monitors) and SignalPET (AI radiograph interpretation) in Europe.

The company operates a unique equipment leasing program (MAD - Mise à Disposition) allowing clinics to access equipment without capital investment. An AI-powered radiographic interpretation service (SignalPET) provides automated image analysis as an add-on service for their imaging systems.
