What ATMOS MedizinTechnik does

ATMOS MedizinTechnik GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned German medical technology company founded in 1888 in Berlin and currently headquartered in Lenzkirch in the Black Forest region. The company manufactures and distributes medical suction systems, ENT diagnostic and treatment equipment, gynecological devices, swallowing diagnostics systems (FEES), tourniquets, and central gas supply units, operating the ATMOS and MEDAP brands. Its products span surgical suction (Record 55, Twin Record 55, C 451, C 361), bronchial and emergency suction (C 341 Battery, E 341 Battery, LC 27), cardiothoracic drainage (S 201 Thorax, C 051 Thorax), vacuum extraction (S 351 NATAL, C 451 VE), and a full ENT and gynecology workstation portfolio including treatment units, endoscopes, cameras (iQam, Cam 41, Scope, VideoScope), microscopes (iView/iView PRO), and software (DICOM ONE, ENT Case Manager, Capture Suite, iDocuments GYN). Proprietary technology differentiators include the Direct Docking System (DDS) for secretion canister management and digital cardiothoracic drainage systems with automated monitoring, supported by EN ISO 13485 and EU MDR certifications.

The company sells predominantly through direct enterprise field sales via 15 wholly-owned subsidiaries across Germany, the USA, China, France, Switzerland, Spain, Hungary, Singapore, India, Russia, Jordan, and Colombia, supplemented by approximately 70 national agencies, reaching customers in over 130 countries. End customers include acute care hospitals, surgical centers, intensive care units, ENT specialists, gynecological practices, and homecare and nursing home providers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with a B2B medical device sales model. The revenue mix is hardware-driven, with recurring revenue potential from accessories such as the ATMOS Disposable Suction System and from software layers including DICOM ONE integration. ATMOS holds EN ISO 13485 certifications from TÜV and DEKRA and EU MDR conformity certificates, and was certified as a Great Place to Work in 2020.

Customer-facing channels combine a content-rich multilingual website with downloadable brochures and technical documentation, direct contact channels for quotes and service, and localized sales through the subsidiary network. The company operates an adjacent interior furnishing subsidiary (ATMOS Interieur GmbH, including the ATMOS iStore brand) and a medical distribution subsidiary (Rehder/Partner GmbH). Leadership comprises co-CEOs Frank Greiser and Maik Greiser, with functional directors for HR & Legal, Marketing & Communications, and regional managing directors (e.g., Lily YAN for China). No external private equity or venture capital ownership is indicated; the company remains under family ownership and operates as an independent Mittelstand enterprise.
