Our Distribution Model
Desmo Care operates through a network of exclusive and non-exclusive distribution partners, supplemented by direct sales to hospital groups and government tender programs. We provide our partners with comprehensive support including regulatory documentation, marketing materials, clinical training, and responsive logistics from our Istanbul-based export hub.
Why Turkey Is an Ideal Global Manufacturing Base
Turkey's geographic position at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa provides natural logistics advantages. Turkish ports offer 3–7 day shipping to Mediterranean, Gulf, and East African destinations. The country's EU Customs Union membership facilitates trade with European markets, while free trade agreements with numerous developing countries reduce tariff barriers.

Desmo Care maintains the regulatory certifications required for global market access:
- CE marking (EU MDR) for European markets
- ISO 13485:2016 recognized worldwide

Our mission is simple: make high-quality surgical sutures accessible to every surgeon, in every country, at a price that healthcare systems can sustain. With 50+ countries served and growing, Desmo Care is delivering on that promise every day.
