Gradical Podcast - The Podcast about Plastics in Medical Technology
Building the First Bio-Based Breathing Circuit with Thomas Willemsen (GaleMed Group)
When Thomas Willemsen became CEO of GaleMed Group, he saw an opportunity to redefine medical consumables for a sustainable future. In partnership with Gradical, his team created the BioVent-Circuit — the world’s first anesthesia and ventilation circuit made from sugarcane-based bioplastic.
In this conversation, Thomas and Lucas Pianegonda discuss:
• How GaleMed turned a concept into a validated, high-performing product
• Why sustainability is a strategic advantage, not a cost burden
• The challenges of market adoption in Europe and the U.S.
• How Gradical helped bridge regulatory and materials expertise
• What it takes to build category leadership in eco-consumables
📍 See the BioVent-Circuit at the GaleMed booth Hall 11/C51 during the Medica Fair in Düsseldorf, starting November 17
