SageTech Medical is excited to announce another key step in its mission to advance sustainable anaesthesia. Following the recent news of a signed distribution agreement with Dräger Switzerland, the company has now entered into a distribution agreement with Matclinic, a medical device distributor known for working with industry leaders such as GE Healthcare, based in Valencia. This partnership will accelerate its growth ambitions and strengthen SageTech Medical’s presence in Europe.
This agreement marks another major milestone in the European commercialisation of SageTech Medical’s SID-Dock, an innovative Class 1 medical device designed to capture waste anaesthetic gases safely and sustainably. The SID-Dock supports compliance with recent EU F-Gas legislation and aligns with the healthcare sector’s push toward greener practices.
Luke Rawlinson, Head of Commercial for SageTech Medical, said:
“This agreement will help healthcare providers comply with new EU F-gas legislation to capture and prevent the release of waste anaesthetic gases, reducing the carbon footprint of surgery by over 20%. This comes at the right time, with governments and hospitals placing greater emphasis on environmental sustainability. While anaesthetic gases play a crucial role in medicine, they are also potent greenhouse gases with sevoflurane, the most popular anaesthetic, having a carbon footprint 508 times (GWP20) that of carbon dioxide. SageTech Medical solves this problem with our SID-Dock gas capture device and recycling technology platform, delivering a unique circular economy solution for healthcare provider to help protect our environment.”
José María Solano, Commercial Director of Matclinic added:
“Matclinic was founded 30 years ago, and since then, we have continued to search for any resource that benefits our partners. When we discovered SageTech’s technology and compared it to other alternatives, it was clear to us that it was the best option for our clients. The safest, cleanest, most circular and sustainable. This union is the beginning of guaranteed success.”
The partnership reinforces SageTech Medical’s international expansion strategy by leveraging Matclinic’s established infrastructure and market expertise. Together, the companies aim to accelerate the adoption of the SID-Dock across Spain.
By offering an innovative gas capture and recycling solution, SageTech Medical helps significantly reduce the environmental impact of anaesthetic gases. Additionally, its unique circular economy technology minimises the carbon footprint associated with virgin anaesthetic agent production.
