What Medi-Globe Group does
Medi-Globe Group is a privately held medical technology company that develops, manufactures, and distributes minimally invasive devices for gastroenterology, urology, and pulmonology. Founded in 1990 in the United States and now operationally headquartered in Achenmühle, Germany, the group operates through a multi-brand structure: Medi-Globe and Endo-Flex cover flexible endoscopic devices and accessories; UroVision and Urotech address kidney stone management, urinary drainage, and incontinence; Asept InMed supplies clinical products and hospital furnishings from France. The portfolio spans endoscopic devices, instruments, implants, catheters, guide wires, stone baskets, ureteral stents, and single-use products, including pioneering offerings such as the Magnetic Black-Star magnetic ureteral stent and the SonoTip TopGain FNB needle.
The company combines its own clean room manufacturing facility in Hranice, Czech Republic with distribution through direct sales branches in Germany, Austria, Brazil, China, the Netherlands, France, and Hong Kong, complemented by exclusive distribution agreements (e.g., Pusen flexible single-use ureterorenoscopes in Germany). Revenue is generated primarily through B2B hardware sales of single-use and reusable endoscopic devices to gastroenterologists, urologists, and pulmonologists, plus hospital customers, with quote-based pricing not publicly disclosed. Medi-Globe maintains ISO 13485:2016, ISO 14001, CE marking, and compliance with FDA, CMDR, and JPAL.
In 2022 the group divested ASID BONZ, was acquired by DCC plc (DCC Healthcare division), and opened its own branch in Beijing alongside the MGG Campus training facility. In 2025, the DCC Medical Division including Medi-Globe was acquired to establish Vital Healthcare as a global MedTech platform. The group is also developing AI-enabled diagnostic software for pancreatic disease detection in endoscopic ultrasound in cooperation with IHU Strasbourg, presently in first-in-human clinical testing.
