In recent years, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has embarked on a significant modernization of its healthcare system. From the flagship Pyongyang General Hospital to regional medical facilities in North Hamgyong and Sinuiju, the demand for high-standard, disposable medical consumables has surged. The transition from traditional reusable cotton drapes to modern Surgical Protection Packs is a critical step in reducing Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) and improving surgical outcomes.
As a specialized factory and supplier, we understand the unique logistics and regulatory requirements for the North Korean market, ensuring that our products meet the stringent requirements of local health authorities while adhering to international ISO 13485 and CE standards.
The strategic partnership between China and North Korea in the medical sector is built on more than just proximity. Chinese factories, particularly those located in medical hubs like Shanghai, offer a unique set of "Information Gains" for procurement officers:
With established trade routes through Dandong and Sinuiju, Chinese suppliers can offer shorter lead times and more reliable delivery schedules compared to European or American alternatives. This is vital for maintaining the cold chain and sterile integrity of surgical packs.
North Korean hospitals often have specific tray layouts for their surgical teams. Our factory excels at customizing surgical drape kits to match the specific procedural steps favored by North Korean surgeons, whether for laparotomy, gynecology, or pediatric care.
We utilize the latest SMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond) and SMMS fabrics that provide a 100% fluid-resistant barrier, essential for protecting healthcare workers in environments where blood-borne pathogens are a concern.

Yes, all our Surgical Protection Packs are manufactured in ISO-certified cleanrooms and meet EN 13795 and AAMI Level 3/4 standards for fluid resistance and microbial penetration.
Absolutely. We offer full OEM/ODM services. We can adjust the size of the fenestration, the placement of adhesive tapes, and the inclusion of specific gauzes or sponges based on your surgical protocols.
Our standard sterile packs have a 3-to-5-year shelf life, depending on the packaging materials used (typically Paper-Film or Tyvek), making them ideal for long-term stockpiling in medical reserves.
