Our core product range includes medical equipment in the form of operating theatre lights and pendants, cranio maxillofacial implants, orthopaedic implants for upper and lower extremities, patient safety products, electrosurgical products and instruments for most disciplines, instrument tracking and CSSD products.
During 1985 the range of products was expanded to include Orthopaedic Implants. In 1986 its current owners acquired the business and since that time it has been expanded significantly in both product range and market coverage with sales increasing on average more than 20% per year.
During 1992 the company expanded its management structure, and extended distribution to cover New Zealand. Two operating divisions were created - Surgical and Orthopaedic. This was continued until the end of 1994 when the Orthopaedic Division business was sold. As a result of the sale of the Orthopaedic Division the company was restructured to reflect the future direction of the business and product groups were formed for Equipment, Surgical and Implants.
In September 1997 we re-entered the Orthopaedic market and a Service Division was set up. This expanded the company's capabilities and enabled us to provide a higher level of service for our equipment and product range.
