Engineered specifically for medical distributors, EHPAD facility buyers, and homecare (HAD) equipment suppliers across France.
Meeting the rigorous clinical demands, regulatory hurdles, and localized user requirements of France’s healthcare infrastructure.
Navigating the French medical device market requires strict adherence to European Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR 2017/745) Class I requirements. Furthermore, products distributed through retail pharmacies or specialized medical stores (orthopédistes / matériel médical) often depend on alignment with the Liste des Produits et Prestations Remboursables (LPPR). Our OEM/ODM production processes incorporate full technical file assembly, ISO 13485 batch traceability, and clinical evaluation documentation to streamline your French ANSM (Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament) regulatory compliance.
Healthcare facilities across France—ranging from EHPAD (Établissement d'Hébergement pour Personnes Âgées Dépendantes) to HAD (Hospitalisation à Domicile)—present distinct architectural and caregiver challenges. Narrow door frames in historic European urban centers require highly maneuverable, compact transfer equipment. Simultaneously, caregiver ergonomic safety guidelines issued by French occupational health organizations (such as INRS) dictate minimal manual lifting effort. Our contract manufacturing integrates low-friction dual-bearing casters, progressive braking levers, and optimized gravity-center pivot points.
Under the French Loi AGEC (Anti-Waste for a Circular Economy), public healthcare tenders increasingly favor medical equipment engineered for reparability and long-term durability. Our manufacturing plant provides 10-year guaranteed spare parts availability (rear wheels, armrest pads, brake assemblies, and hydraulic seals), establishing a distinct competitive edge in French municipal and hospital tender submissions.
From structural metallurgy to localized anti-bacterial fabric selection, we adapt every parameter to your brand specifications.
Choose between high-tensile 7005 Aircraft Aluminum Alloy for lightweight mobility (9–11 kg total weight) or TIG-welded Reinforced Carbon Steel for ultra-durable institutional transfer chairs capable of supporting up to 250 kg bariatric loads. Powder coating colors can be fully matched to RAL color codes favored by French institutional brands.
We supply modular OEM configurations including 180° split-seat lateral transfer designs, hydraulic height-adjustment lifters, detachable swing-away legrests, and flip-up armrests that facilitate effortless sliding transfers from bed, wheelchair, or hygiene stations without strain on nursing staff.
All seating materials, backrests, and commode inserts are customized using high-density viscoelastic memory foam encased in French M1 Fire-Retardant, anti-microbial, and water-impermeable PU fabrics. Designed to withstand aggressive hospital-grade chemical disinfectants (such as Anios-type quaternary ammonium compounds).
Our patient transfer chairs are tailored for seamless integration into diverse care environments throughout Metropolitan France and Overseas Territories (DOM-TOM).
In high-intensity triage, emergency wards (SAMU / Urgences), and surgical recovery units, our heavy-duty steel transit chairs provide swift, safe, and hygienic patient transport between wards and diagnostic imaging centers.
Elderly residents require gentle, ergonomic lateral transfers. Our integrated commode and shower-capable transfer chairs simplify daily hygiene routines, protecting dignity while reducing caregiver physical workload.
Homecare providers require lightweight, foldable transfer equipment that easily fits inside small personal transport vehicles and navigates narrow French residential corridors, elevators, and bathroom doorways.
Private medical transport companies (TPMR) rely on our compact, folding aluminum chairs equipped with crash-tested tie-down points for secure transit inside adapted mobility vans across French cities.

We provide complete regulatory technical files, including CE declarations of conformity, biocompatibility test reports (ISO 10993), risk analysis documentation (ISO 14971), and localized user instruction manuals in French.
Leveraging direct sea freight lanes to primary French entry ports—Le Havre (Seine-Maritime) and Fos-sur-Mer / Marseille—as well as express China-Europe railway links to Lyon and Paris distribution hubs.
Our experienced export engineering team guarantees a response rate above 90% within 12 hours. We assist with custom CAD engineering samples, rapid prototyping, and flexible Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) for strategic market entries.
Direct, transparent answers regarding certification, customization, logistics, and quality assurance.
Yes. All of our patient transfer chairs, manual wheelchairs, and hygiene mobility aids comply with EU MDR 2017/745 Class I medical device regulations. We supply complete CE Declarations of Conformity and technical documentation necessary for registration with French health authorities (ANSM).
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with French distributors to manufacture wheelchairs and transfer aids matching specific LPPR specifications (such as seat dimensions, weight thresholds, footrest configurations, and safety accessories) required for French Social Security reimbursement eligibility.
For standard white-label custom branding (custom logo stickers, user manuals in French, and customized carton packaging), our base MOQ starts at 50 units per SKU. For structural modifications or custom frame anodization colors, our typical MOQ is 100 to 200 units depending on technical complexity.
Standard production lead times range between 15 and 25 days following sample sign-off. Maritime transit from our port to Le Havre or Fos-sur-Mer generally takes 22 to 28 days.
