What Medit does

MEDIT Inc. is a privately held Canadian-founded company that designs, distributes, and in some cases manufactures rigid and flexible endoscopes, videoscopes, borescopes, light sources, and endoscopy camera systems for veterinary, medical, and industrial visual-inspection applications. Founded by Vladimir Khubiryants in 2002 and headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with a US distribution entity (Strahl LLC) in Woburn, Massachusetts, the company serves customers in over 38 countries and positions itself as one of the largest online suppliers of remote visual inspection devices. Its leadership team is small and includes a VP of Sales (Terry Peristerakis) and Technical Sales Specialists (Josh Halprin, Tihon Khubiryants).

The company's core technology stack rests on rod-lens optics, CIS/CMOS video camera chips embedded in probe tips, and LED or metal-halide illumination. The MICRON micro video endoscope — manufactured in the US and available in 1.0mm to 1.95mm probe diameters — represents its flagship miniaturization achievement, while the SPARK PRO sterilizable LED light handle carries patent-pending optics. MEDIT's product portfolio is organized into rigid and flexible endoscopes (otoscopes, sinuscopes, laryngoscopes, laparoscopes, cystoscopes, gastroscopes), industrial borescopes, light sources (MS-LED, SPARK series, MS-24 metal halide), camera systems (ImagePRO USB 3.0 / HDMI, ED-Cam, LOOK-SEE, IP USB, Easy-See), and a full accessory ecosystem (fiber-optic light guide cables, sheaths, couplers, replacement lamps). Product prices range from $299 to over $26,725, with most items sold as one-time purchases backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty.

MEDIT operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct e-commerce (store.fiberscope.net), a direct enterprise sales team, an international reseller network, and equipment rental. Revenue is generated primarily from hardware sales, with secondary streams from accessories and consumables, equipment rentals, and customization services. Its customer base is fragmented across veterinary practices (small and large animal), medical device reprocessing and infection-control facilities, and industrial inspection users; named reference customers include Merit Medical Systems, VES Custom Optics, and Alexandria Otolaryngology Associates. The company has not raised external funding, has no disclosed acquisitions or executive changes, and is wholly founder-owned.

Revenue model

1. Hardware Sales — Endoscopes and Borescopes: MEDIT's primary revenue stream is the sale of physical inspection devices — rigid and flexible endoscopes, videoscopes, borescopes, and accessories. These are one-time capital purchases with a one-year manufacturer's warranty. Many products are available as configurable sets or individual components. Customization services are also offered.
2. Accessories and Consumables: The company sells a full line of accessories including light sources, light guide cables, camera couplers, sheaths, forceps, and replacement lamps (e.g., AL-1824 metal halide arc lamps). These provide recurring purchase opportunities alongside the core equipment.
3. Equipment Rental: MEDIT offers a rental service allowing customers to test products before purchasing. This serves as both a demand-generation tool and a standalone revenue stream, particularly for higher-value industrial borescope inspection equipment.
4. Professional Services and Customization: The company provides after-sales service, on-site demonstrations, and customization services for products. If a standard product does not meet a customer's needs, the team can work on custom configurations.
