What Planmed does
Planmed Oy is a Finnish medical imaging company founded in 1987 as a subsidiary of Planmeca Group (a Helsinki-based conglomerate established in 1971 by Heikki Kyöstilä). The company designs, manufactures, and markets advanced imaging systems from its headquarters in Helsinki, Finland, exporting more than 98% of its production to over 80 countries. Its portfolio is organized around two product families: the Clarity mammography line (including the Planmed Clarity 3D digital breast tomosynthesis system, Clarity+ and Clarity 2D digital mammography systems, and the cost-effective Clarity S) and the Planmed Verity and Planmed XFI cone-beam CT (CBCT) scanners. The CBCT line is differentiated by weight-bearing imaging capability—the Verity is described as the original point-of-care extremity CT that can image seated, supine, and standing patients, while the XFI, cleared by the FDA in September 2025 and CE MDR-certified in January 2026, is positioned as the first CBCT system capable of full-body imaging in upright or supine position. Core technical differentiators include patented Continuous Sync-and-Shoot™ tomosynthesis, Planmeca CALM™ motion-artefact correction, Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ imaging protocol, MaxView™ breast positioning, and MaxScan maxillofacial imaging. Complementary products include the Planmed Verity VET veterinary scanner, Planmed Wave acquisition station, Planmed Envision workstations, and software integrations (Planmeca Romexis Medical, Disior Bonelogic, Candelis, IBEX Trueview).
Planmed serves hospitals, imaging centers, orthopedic clinics, maxillofacial and ENT specialists, and veterinary clinics, with end-customers including Massachusetts General Hospital, HUS Helsinki University Hospital, Kuopio University Hospital, Vestfold Hospital (Norway), Mölndal Hospital (Sweden), Breast Imaging Center of Santiago (Chile), and APEX Veterinary Dentistry (Hong Kong). The company sells primarily through an exclusive distributor network (Merry X-Ray Corporation for the US, Dong Kang Medical Systems for South Korea, Medical One Corporation for the Philippines) supplemented by its US subsidiary Planmed USA, Inc. The revenue model is dominated by one-time capital equipment sales of mammography and CBCT systems, with a recurring service and maintenance stream tied to the installed base and ancillary one-time software and accessory licensing. The company holds multiple FDA 510(k) clearances, CE marks and CE MDR certifications, EUREF type testing, Health Canada licenses, and Korean FDA approvals, and has won international design and innovation awards including Red Dot, MDEA Gold, and WIPO Design Award. Planmed is privately held with no external investors, operating as a core subsidiary of Planmeca Group under the leadership of Managing Director Jan Moed (appointed January 2016).
