GEKOMED, the circular economy startup that recovers and reconditions orthopedic splints.

GOWeeZ and My Pitch Is Good present Gekomed, an innovative circular economy company co-founded by Mathieu Zuber.

Gekomed is a startup specializing in the recovery and reconditioning of orthopedic splints.

It responds to the growing need to combat waste. Every year, 5.7 million splints are sold in France, generating 178k tonnes of CO2.

The young Boulogne-Billancourt-based start-up has already made good progress with its partners in proposing a relevant and useful business model for the planet.

The value proposal of Gekomed 

Gekomed offers various hospital and pharmacy groups the possibility of recovering unused splints and reconditioning them.

This reduces waste and cuts costs for patients.

This is a virtuous business model for the healthcare circular economy.

Indeed, their model is based on collaboration with ANRH to promote social integration, and with wholesale distributors for collection.

Gekomed’s vision is Grande, with the aim of exporting to Africa and the Middle East.

Gekomed aspires to expand its market to medical devices beyond splints, planning international expansion through strategic fund-raising.

 

Gekomed’s innovative value proposition.

 

Gekomed stands out for its significant impact on ecology and social inclusion.

The company contributes to reducing medical waste and carbon footprints. It supports a circular economy in the healthcare sector.

A partnership with ESAT (Établissement et service d’accompagnement par le travail) for reconditioning encourages the employment of disabled people.

In this way, Gékomed demonstrates a clear commitment to a more inclusive society.

This initiative also makes healthcare more affordable by offering quality products at reduced prices.

In this way, essential medical devices become more accessible to a greater number of people.

Gekomed’s business model is based on the intelligent delegation of key tasks to specialized partners. This optimizes efficiency and reduces costs.

Splints are collected in partnership with pharmacy wholesalers. They guarantee a constant and reliable supply.

Finally, distribution is handled by specialists in the export of medical equipment. The result is rapid, targeted expansion.

Thanks to this business model, Gekomed is able to offer splints at up to 30% less than new alternatives.

A socially, ecologically and economically relevant approach.
