AUTONOMIE ET SANTE SAS

What AUTONOMIE ET SANTE SAS does

Autonomie et Santé SAS is a privately held French medical equipment retailer and renter headquartered in Saint-Étienne, France, operating under the SAS corporate structure (SIREN 43489820100018). The company supplies, rents, and installs a broad range of medical and mobility equipment — including stair lifts, wheelchairs, walkers and rollators, hospital beds, access ramps, hygiene and incontinence products, orthopedic and compression items, breast prostheses, pediatric and maternal health products, and nutritional solutions — to individual consumers (primarily seniors and persons with disabilities) as well as to healthcare professionals and public institutions.

The business operates an exclusively brick-and-mortar retail model through four physical locations across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region: the Saint-Étienne headquarters, two Lyon branches (69003 and 69006), and a Riom agency. Its digital footprint is limited to a WordPress-based SEO-oriented website with localized landing pages (e.g., 'fauteuil roulant Saint Etienne', 'location matériel Saint Etienne') and an external Calameo-hosted online catalog; no e-commerce, marketplace, or channel-partner resale activity is present.

The revenue model combines one-off sales, recurring equipment rental, professional installation, and after-sale maintenance services. The company is micro-scale (stated headcount 1–10) with no disclosed revenue, no external funding, no institutional shareholders, and no proprietary technology. Distribution is regional rather than national, and competitive differentiation rests on local presence, breadth of category coverage, and bundled installation/maintenance rather than technology or scale advantages.

Direct peers

• Distri Club Médical: French independent network of medical equipment distributors serving healthcare professionals and individuals with DME, consumables, and instrumentation. Closely matches the company's dual B2C/B2B proposition and regional multi-store structure.
• Locamed: French medical equipment rental specialist for home healthcare providers and individuals. Direct overlap on the rental-led revenue model and the home-care customer segment that anchors Autonomie et Santé's primary use case.
• Harmonie Médical Service: One of France's largest home medical equipment retailers and renters, operating a multi-agency model selling and renting DME, mobility aids, and home care products. Directly comparable on product mix, sale/rental model, and multi-store regional coverage.
• Senneville (Groupe Senneville): French DME retailer and rental company with regional agency presence, focused on mobility, hospital beds, and home care solutions. Directly comparable operating model and product categories.
• La Maison du Médical: French regional retailer of medical equipment, mobility aids, and home care products with both consumer and professional offerings. Comparable scale and product/customer mix as a regional multi-category DME retailer.

Broad incumbents

• Aéromédical / Ladapt (Home Medical Equipment associations): Air Liquide's home healthcare arm (VitalAire / Orkin) and other large home-healthcare providers operate DME, respiratory, and mobility services across France. They do not specialize solely in DME rental/retail but overlap materially on the home-care customer base.
• Bastide Le Confort Médical: Listed French home healthcare and DME distributor with a national footprint providing respiratory care, perfusion, nutrition, and DME sales/rental. Same customer base (elderly and chronically ill at home) and same revenue model (sale + rental + service), but at much greater scale and breadth.
• Mediq / Colisée Home Care Equipment: European home medical equipment and care provider offering DME, mobility, and incontinence solutions. Comparable product breadth and customer base to Autonomie et Santé but at pan-European scale.

Emerging players

• Pharma Express / Pharmacie Lafayette (in-house DME): Large French pharmacy networks increasingly lease DME and accessibility products out of their pharmacies. They are not direct competitors in every category but increasingly encroach on Autonomie et Santé's consumer mobility and hygiene segments.

Regional players

• Cofra Médica (Loxamed): France-based medical equipment service provider focused on home healthcare deliveries and DME. Comparable services (equipment delivery, rental, and home installation) that overlap with the company's "Maintien à domicile médicalisé" pillar.
