UNDERSTANDING ONE’S IMPACT TO BETTER CONTROL IT
Did you know? A 5°C increase is the maximum expected temperature rise on Earth by 2100 in the absence of strong measures.
Our CSR policy aims to reduce our environmental footprint by controlling our greenhouse gas emissions. Aware of climate issues, we began the CSR journey by conducting a carbon footprint assessment in 2023 with the assistance of BPI France, in partnership with ADEME and in collaboration with ABC.
1920 T CO2 is the carbon footprint of our greenhouse gas emissions at DEDIENNE SANTE for the fiscal year 2022. This is equivalent to:
- The annual emissions of 216 French citizens;
- 190 laps around the Earth by car
- The combustion of 605,680 liters of diesel.
Key Indicators:
These 1920 T of CO2 are distributed as follows :
By 2030, our objective is to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve this, a decarbonization action plan has been implemented, focusing on product procurement and fixed assets. Together, we are working for a better and more environmentally respectful world.

In a context where DEDIENNE SANTÉ asserts itself as a major player in French implantology, its orientation towards internationalization is gaining increasing importance. This strategic expansion is based on solid industrial expertise and a strong ambition for global outreach, emphasizing the values of quality and safety associated with the “Made in France” label.
INVESTING IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS
DEDIENNE SANTE is currently present in various countries across Africa, South America, Asia, and Europe, thus generating a significant portion of its turnover through exports. Aware of future challenges and the reputation renowned by French implantology manufacturers worldwide, our ambition is to expand our international presence in hip surgery and sports.
The company is especially proud of this approach, which combines the notions of French expertise and safety to be valued beyond borders. Our manufacturing site has been established since the creation of DEDIENNE HEALTH in the South of France, near the Metropolis of Montpellier, renowned for its “gems” in the Medtech sector.
OFFERING CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS BEYOND OUR BORDERS
DEDIENNE SANTE’s export distribution policy aims to establish partnerships with distribution companies, specialized in orthopedics, and deeply rooted in their local markets. DEDIENNE SANTE possesses recognized industrial expertise, which the company leverages design in collaboration with healthcare professionals to meet the needs of its partners beyond its borders.
Our strategy concerns to offer a structured offering around innovative product ranges combined with tailored service. Our contacts in the Export Sales Department are appreciated for their responsiveness and listening skills. They all have a thorough (complet) understanding of their geographic area and provide training and support to their clients. In partnership with the Marketing Department, substantial work has been initiated to develop sales support tools specific to well-targeted geographic areas.
At Dedienne Santé, our R&D department is adapting to changes in the way it works, reflecting the changes in our company and in the orthopedics market. Our product portfolio must evolve so that we can adapt to changes in market demands and respond to those of new markets.
Our R&D team members are experts in the orthopedics market and its products, and they are constantly monitoring the technology associated with these. In essence, the R&D team functions as the interface between the production process and our marketing department. Our research aims to optimize technology, image, economic realities (ensuring that the implants’ quality/price ratio is appropriate for the market) and business practices, by strictly complying with the guidelines, rules and regulations applicable to them.
OUR PROJECT-BASED APPROACH TO BUSINESS ORGANIZATION
Our team members are selected for their ethics and interpersonal skills, and we are committed to their career development. Our engineers, technicians and graphic designers work together with medical professionals and their surgical teams to offer the highest quality manufactured products. Their relationships are based on trust, respect and a mutual desire to innovate. By working together with surgeons, we guarantee that patients will receive high-quality care during surgery. We strive for excellence, in order to help patients return to their normal daily lives in good physical health.
We are also aware of today’s challenges: product design is a vast area of experimentation for our R&D team. In particular, ergonomics has become a guiding principle for us. The goal of every project is to combine comfort, safety and reliability so that surgeons know they are using dependable implants that are fully aligned with the quality of their work.
At Dedienne Santé, we know that, in order to meet surgeons’ and their teams’ ergonomic needs, the implant and its instrumentation must work together. Our products must be meticulously produced with high value added, and surgery teams must be able to work with them as safely as possible. Our products, and each instrument used to implant them, are systematically tested. Our implants undergo all the required testing needed before they are submitted to the appropriate accreditation entities. Their approval is needed before these implants can to be brought to market.
The medical sector is constrained by a strong and constantly evolving regulatory framework. In this context, DEDIENNE Santé continuously invests in its Regulatory and Quality processes to sustain innovation and enhance the quality and performance of our devices.
OUR QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Among the values we uphold, maintaining and optimizing our Quality Management System (QMS) in accordance with customer requirements and current applicable regulatory requirements is a key success factor. Our quality approach is built on European medical device standards: EN ISO 13485 and Regulation (EU) 2017/745.
We have chosen to be certified to EN ISO 13485 by Kiwa Cermet Italia SpA, one of the few notified bodies for Regulation EU 2017/745.
Our QMS, composed of procedures, instructions, methodologies, and documented practices, is based on a culture of evidence to ensure reproducibility, continuous improvement, and robustness in our activities, as well as permanent access to evidence of their implementation. Ultimately, our QMS aims to guarantee the safety, performance, and quality of the devices manufactured, and consequently demonstrate the conformity of our products to the regulatory requirements of the markets in which they are marketed.
OUR PRODUCT CERTIFICATIONS
Among the markets where our devices are marketed, the European market operates in a regulatory environment undergoing significant changes: Regulation (EU) 2017/745 has replaced Directive 93/42/EEC concerning the rules for placing medical devices on the market and putting them into service. However, a transition period sees the coexistence of the old and new regulatory framework to allow different stakeholders time to adapt; as a legal manufacturer, DEDIENNE Santé complies with the conditions of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 regarding these transitional provisions.
Thus, our CE conformity certificates issued under Directive 93/42/EEC have their validity extended until 2027 or 2028 (depending on the device class). All our technical files have been updated to incorporate the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and are currently being evaluated by a notified body.
Once on the market, our devices are subject to diligent surveillance that strictly adheres to vigilance obligations (evolution of the state of the art, customer satisfaction surveys, customer complaints, incidents, safety corrective measures, trends, post-market clinical data), allowing us to optimize our organization through corrections and corrective actions.
DELIVERING PERFORMANCE
Equipping ourselves with a high degree of demand constitutes the very foundations of DEDIENNE SANTÉ’s philosophy.
« We are committed to ensuring the availability of all necessary resources to carry out our Quality Policy and deploy an CSR approach with the permanent objective of respecting customer and regulatory requirements. »
