What Reison Medical does

Reison Medical AB is a Swedish medical device manufacturer founded in the 1960s and headquartered in Hallstahammar, near Västerås. The company designs and manufactures premium operating room accessories for surgical procedures, with a core portfolio spanning armboards (its flagship product since 1975), arm and hand surgery tables, clamps, supports, head supports, positioning equipment, straps and fixation, instrument tables, and transport/storage solutions. Its signature technology is the "Reison Technology" ball joint that enables one-handed operation of positioning equipment, paired with a hook-on clamp system compatible with EU, UK, and US standard operating table rails. All products are designed and manufactured in-house in Sweden under an ISO 13485-certified quality management system compliant with MDR (EU) 2017/745 and 21 CFR Subchapter H.

The company operates a distributor-led go-to-market model with local representation in nearly 50 countries and direct sales for quote-based orders, supported by a multilingual website (Swedish, English, German, French, Spanish). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of medical devices, spare parts, and a service/repair revenue stream, with quote-based pricing and a standard 1-year warranty. End customers include anesthesia departments, orthopedic and trauma surgery, urology and gynecology, ophthalmology, neurosurgery, bariatrics, ENT, X-ray/radiology, and robot-assisted surgery centers. In 2024, Reison acquired KLAVAmed GmbH (Germany) to expand into tube holders and critical care fixation solutions, and the company operates as part of the Ninex Group portfolio of premium-segment medical technology companies.
