D.R. Surgicare — VOGEL
Built for the people who heal.
Our Story
At the forefront of a changing healthcare landscape is D.R. Surgicare, a medical instruments and equipment manufacturer based in Maharashtra, India, operating under the VOGEL brand.
Incorporated in 2013 by Dilip Rathod, D.R. Surgicare was established with a clear purpose: bring exceptional value to healthcare through in-house manufacturing, assembly, research and development, responsive service, and accessible medical solutions.
From Pune, we have grown into one of the city’s top five surgical and medical equipment manufacturers. Today, our work spans surgical instruments, medical equipment, hospital furniture, and Medical Gas Pipeline System solutions. As a manufacturer, supplier, exporter, retailer, and service provider, we support healthcare teams across the complete product and service journey.
Through VOGEL, we craft ergonomic, durable, high-performance instruments for General Surgery, Laparoscopy, Gynecology, Urology, Pediatrics, and Bariatrics. Every solution is shaped to support minimally invasive care, surgeon comfort, operational efficiency, and reliable clinical performance.
Our Philosophy
We believe the success of a medical device is measured by more than the equipment, instrument, or service itself. It is measured by the confidence it gives a surgeon, the support it provides a medical team, and the difference it helps create for a patient.
We are deeply committed to safety, purposeful innovation, and human-centred design. Every instrument begins with conversations with doctors, real challenges from operating theatres, and a determination to improve healthcare one procedure at a time.
That culture of safety and precision runs through our entire organisation—from research and development to assembly, testing, delivery, and after-sales support. We also believe progress should be shared, which is why we value education, mentorship, hands-on learning, and the growth of future healthcare professionals.
When we empower the people who heal, we help healthcare move forward.
Our Core Values
Seven principles guide how we listen, design, manufacture, collaborate, and serve.
-
People Over Products
We listen first. A surgeon’s feedback, a nurse’s concern, and a patient’s outcome shape our thinking before any blueprint does.
-
Precision That Protects
In surgery, millimetres matter. Accuracy and dependable performance are responsibilities, not optional features.
-
Purpose-Driven Innovation
Every product should solve a real problem, simplify a process, or improve care—never add complexity without purpose.
-
Safety Without Exception
From manufacturing to the operating room, our solutions are built and tested to uphold stringent standards of safety and reliability.
-
Collaboration Over Competition
We work with healthcare professionals, not simply for them. Their experience guides our research, development, and next design.
-
Empowering Medicine’s Future
Through education, mentorship, and exposure to advanced tools, we support the next generation of healthcare professionals.
-
Responsibility Beyond Business
We aim to operate with integrity, sustainability, and compassion—doing what is right while helping healthcare improve.
Our promise is simple: continue delivering quality, standing by our values, and advancing surgical care.
