MEDICA is for finished medical products. COMPAMED is for the components, materials and manufacturing services used to make them. Both run at the same time at Messe Düsseldorf, and one ticket usually covers both.

Who should visit which fair?
- Distributors and hospital buyers should focus on MEDICA. This is where you find products ready to sell or use.
- Medical device companies looking for parts, plastics, sensors or contract manufacturers should spend time at COMPAMED.
- OEM and private label buyers often need both. You find the finished product at MEDICA and the packaging or component partners at COMPAMED.
Why they run together
The medical supply chain is closely linked. A company that sells a surgical kit needs instruments, sterile packaging, labels and trays. Holding both fairs together lets buyers meet the whole chain in one trip.
