What Limmer Laser does
Limmer Laser GmbH is a privately held, family-owned medical-technology company headquartered in Berlin-Adlershof (Schwarzschildstraße 1, 12489 Berlin) that designs, manufactures and sells medical laser systems and accessories "Made in Germany". Founded as a family business in 2000, the company is led by managing director Björn-Frederic Limmer and is certified to EN ISO 13485:2016. Its product portfolio spans the CO2 Laser UNILAS Touch (4th generation, 10,600 nm, 30-80 W configurations) and a diode-laser family comprising the DIOLAS Newton (up to 100 W, configurable across 810/980/1064/1470 nm wavelengths), the DIOLAS Photon (compact, with the proprietary LFD Mode) and the DIOLAS LFD 3000 (high-power, also LFD-enabled). The proprietary LFD (Levelled Field Density) Mode is positioned as a market-first on both high-power and compact platforms, reducing collateral soft-tissue coagulation to approximately 1 mm versus 9-11 mm for standard coagulation lasers.
The accessory ecosystem is a core part of the offering: the SurgiScan X2 scanner (One/Forma/Seta configurations), MicroSpot X2 and MiniSpot micromanipulators compatible with Zeiss, Leica, Haag-Streit, Möller-Wedel, ARRISCOPE, Atmos, Leisegang and Olympus microscopes and colposcopes, a proprietary fiber family (Bare, Harpoon, EndoRadial, Sidefire), the VACULAS 4000 high-capacity smoke evacuator (99.99999995% retention at 0.01 µm, <52 dB), and CE/EN207/ANSI Z136.1-certified laser eye protection. Target end markets are hospitals, clinics and specialist practices across ENT, gynecology (notably colposcopy and conisation), dermatology and aesthetics, urology, proctology, thoracic surgery, general surgery, dentistry and veterinary medicine.
The business model is direct: hardware sales of configured laser systems and consumables/accessories are quote-based with no published list pricing, supplemented by after-sales services (safety technical inspections, preventive maintenance, repairs, optical re-conditioning, including for compatible third-party devices), and recurring clinical training delivered in partnership with course organizers (WFM-Ultraschall, Berger Congress, AG CPC). Go-to-market combines a dedicated regional sales representative for Germany, an in-house product-experts hotline, direct export from Berlin via an import-export clerk (no published distributor network), and flagship trade-fair presence at MEDICA Düsseldorf, Arab Health Dubai and FIME Miami Beach. Marketing is concentrated in specialist channels — application-matrixed product pages, on-site demos, hands-on courses and policy/industry engagement by the managing director — rather than broad-market advertising.

Product offeringCore offering
Limmer Laser designs, manufactures, and sells medical laser systems and accessories at its Berlin site, covering CO2 (10,600 nm) and diode (810/980/1064/1470 nm) laser platforms used by clinics and hospitals in ENT, gynecology, dermatology, urology, general and thoracic surgery, proctology and dentistry. Its portfolio spans core laser platforms (UNILAS Touch, DIOLAS Newton, DIOLAS Photon, DIOLAS LFD 3000) plus an accessory ecosystem (scanners, micromanipulators, fibers, handpieces, smoke evacuators, eye protection) with after-sales service and clinical training.
Product overview
Limmer Laser offers a portfolio of medical laser systems and a modular accessory ecosystem rather than a single unified product. The core laser devices — the CO2 Laser UNILAS Touch (4th-generation, 10.600 nm), the compact Diode Lasers DIOLAS Newton and DIOLAS Photon, and the High Power Laser DIOLAS LFD 3000 — cover ENT, dermatology, gynecology, urology, thoracic, proctology, general, spinal, dental, and veterinary surgery. The UNILAS Touch is paired with the SurgiScan X2 scanner and the MicroSpot X2 / MiniSpot micromanipulators for microscope- and colposcope-assisted precision surgery; the diode lasers (DIOLAS Newton, DIOLAS Photon, DIOLAS LFD 3000) are paired with a broad set of Bare, Harpoon, EndoRadial, and Sidefire fibers, focussing handpieces, and the VACULAS 4000 smoke evacuator. Eye protection goggles and pads round out the system. All products are designed and manufactured in Germany under EN ISO 13485:2016.
