Reavita

What Reavita does

Reavita AG is a privately-held Swiss medical technology distributor and value-added service provider founded in 2000 by Christoph A. Gamma in Zürich. Operating exclusively within Switzerland, the company serves 110+ hospitals (including all Swiss university hospitals), hundreds of medical practices, rescue services, and 4,000+ companies across three product pillars: Diagnostics (ECG systems from Philips and custo med, ergospirometry from CORTEX, spirometry, long-term blood pressure/ECG monitoring, and medical ergometers), Resuscitation (Philips defibrillator monitors including HeartStart Intrepid and Tempus series, AEDs, and IntelliSpace Corsium data management), and Medical Simulation (Gaumard wireless patient simulators, Surgical Science VR skills simulators including LAP Mentor and RobotiX Mentor, Nordic Simulators debriefing systems, and the MentorLearn curriculum platform).

The company functions as an authorized Swiss channel partner for at least nine international medical technology manufacturers, capturing value through distribution margins, certified technical service (MTK/STK testing), multi-language support (German, French, Italian), and integration capabilities (Philips Intellibridge Enterprise for KIS/HIS interfacing). Revenue streams include one-time hardware sales, recurring service and maintenance contracts, training and consulting engagements, and e-commerce sales via the rettungskette.ch platform for AEDs and accessories. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with event-driven demand generation at major medical conferences (SESAM, IMSH, SGAIM, SwissAnaesthesia).

With 1-10 employees and no external funding, Reavita operates as a lean specialty distribution business. Its competitive position rests on 25 years of Swiss regulatory expertise (Swissmedic, MDR compliance), exclusive manufacturer partnerships, deep clinical relationships, and integration with Swiss hospital IT systems — a model that prioritizes depth in a single national market over geographic scale.
