Miotec Equipamentos Biomédicos

What Miotec Equipamentos Biomédicos does

Miotec Equipamentos Biomédicos Ltda is a Brazilian medical device company founded in 2002 by mechatronics engineers from PUCRS in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The company designs and manufactures surface electromyography (EMG) and biofeedback systems serving three primary clinical verticals: pelvic floor physiotherapy (urinary, sexual, proctological dysfunction treatment, prenatal/postnatal care), biomechanics and sports rehabilitation (muscle activation analysis, injury prevention, performance assessment), and orofacial/speech therapy (TMD, bruxism, facial paralysis, swallowing assessment). It also serves educational institutions (universities, research labs) and industrial/occupational health programs (ergonomic evaluation).

The product architecture is built around the New Miotool wireless EMG acquisition platform, which pairs with a modular sensor family — sEMG NG (surface EMG, 16-bit precision, 2,000 samples/second/channel, IP67-rated option), sEMG URO NG (intracavitary), sPressure (pressure biofeedback), sForce S (force measurement up to 250 Kgf), and MioFlux (uroflowmetry). Software includes the MiotecSuite MS4 integrated data collection/analysis platform, FluxViewer (uroflowmetry), and the new MS4 Mobile application (2025). Downstream, the company sells perineal educators (PelviFit Trainer, PelviFit Trainer Plus/PRO/Comfort), pressure biofeedback devices (PelviAir Unit, Previni Unit), and a recurring line of disposable intracavitary probes (PelviFit Lite/Max, PelviLine Lite/Max) and surface electrodes (Maxicor). The platform was upgraded in 2021 with discontinuation of the original Miotool and migration of customers to NewMiotool via trade-in promotions.

The business operates a hybrid hardware-plus-consumables model. Capital equipment (EMG systems, software) is sold through direct e-commerce (loja.miotec.com.br) and professional sales to clinics, hospitals, and universities; consumables (disposable probes, electrodes) provide recurring revenue post-installation. Consumer-grade products are priced R$250-440 (e.g., PelviFit Trainer variants). The company claims 5,000+ active customers, 50+ partner companies, and validation in 2,000+ scientific publications, with reference clinic relationships extending 16-17 years. The company is privately held, founder-controlled, and bootstrapped — funded exclusively through Brazilian government R&D grants (CNPq 2004, FAPERGS 2006, FINEP 2008/2010/2020, SEBRAE 2015) and organic revenue, with no disclosed VC/PE investment. It holds ANVISA medical device registrations and is subject to annual regulatory inspection.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Cometa Systems: Danish/Italian wireless EMG pioneer (Pico, Mini Wave) supplying surface and intra-muscular EMG sensors to research and clinical labs — comparable to Miotec's wireless New Miotool and sEMG NG sensor positioning.
• Noraxon: North-American EMG and motion-capture systems vendor (Ultium EMG, myoRESEARCH software) serving physical therapy, biomechanics, and sports markets — competes head-to-head with Miotec's integrated hardware-plus-software stack.
• Biometrics Ltd: UK-based specialist in surface EMG sensors (Biometrics SX230, Datalog) and accessories for clinical and research use — directly comparable to Miotec's sEMG NG and disposable-electrode consumables model.
• Delsys: US-based pioneer of surface EMG sensors (Trigno) used in biomechanics, rehabilitation, and sports research. Most direct global competitor to Miotec's New Miotool / sEMG NG platform for academic and clinical EMG buyers.
• Thought Technology: Canadian biofeedback and psychophysiology equipment vendor (ProComp, MyoTrac) with deep presence in pelvic-floor and rehabilitation biofeedback; overlaps with Miotec's PelviAir/PelviFit biofeedback line and orofacial EMG applications.
• BTS Bioengineering: Italian maker of EMG, gait analysis, and rehabilitation assessment systems used in clinical and research settings worldwide; directly comparable to Miotec's biomechanics and rehabilitation EMG offerings.

Emerging players

• Sword Health: Digital MSK and pelvic-health platform using sensors and software for at-home rehabilitation — adjacent rather than directly competing, but signals the longer-term direction (software + sensors + remote care) Miotec's MS4 Mobile ecosystem is moving toward.
• mDurance: Portuguese/Spanish EMG-based muscle-assessment platform for physical therapy and sports — partial-overlap competitor in Iberian-Lusophone markets where Miotec could expand, particularly in biomechanics and rehabilitation use cases.

Regional players

• Tecnologia em Eletromiografia (EMG do Brasil): Brazilian regional EMG and biofeedback equipment distributor/manufacturer serving physiotherapy and research labs in Brazil — direct in-country overlap with Miotec's domestic channel and customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Chattanooga (DJO Global): Global rehabilitation and physical-medicine brand under DJO, offering electrotherapy, biofeedback, and pelvic-floor rehabilitation products; broad incumbent rather than EMG specialist, but competes in the same clinical channels as Miotec.
