What ELMED does
ELMED Medical Systems (ELMED Elektronik ve Medikal Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.) is a privately held Turkish medical device manufacturer founded in 1991 in Ankara by engineers and urology doctors to produce Turkey's first lithotripsy systems for kidney stone management. The company designs and builds five core urology and physiotherapy products — the Avicenna Roboflex robotic flexible ureteroscopy platform, the Multimed EM computer-controlled electromagnetic ESWL system, the Vibrolith Plus combined pneumatic-ultrasonic intracorporeal lithotripter, the Vibrolith pneumatic lithotripter, and the Vibrolith Ortho extracorporeal shock wave therapy device — all manufactured in a 1,800 m² facility at Ostim Technopark, Ankara, with a US commercial office in Orlando, Florida. Its proprietary technology base spans shock wave generation (electromagnetic and pneumatic-ultrasonic), robotic motion control with software safeguards, and 5G-enabled tele-robotic operation, demonstrated in a 1,500 km Istanbul-to-Mus remote procedure in May 2026.
The business model is a classic specialty medical-device hardware sale plus consumables model: ELMED sells capital equipment directly to hospitals and urology departments worldwide, exports to more than 60 countries under CE, FDA 510(k), ISO 9001, and ISO 13485 certifications, and generates recurring revenue from original spare parts, probes, and application heads. The customer base is structurally fragmented across global hospital systems, with two primary commercial segments — Urology (primary, including kidney stone management and flexible ureteroscopy) and Physiotherapy/Orthopedics (secondary) — served through direct enterprise sales, international distributors, and congress-driven lead generation at AUA and EAU events. Reference validation includes Campbell Walsh Urology textbook citation alongside Dornier, Siemens, and R. Wolf, and ranking among the world's top ten lithotripsy companies by independent market research.

- TurkcellcoreTurkcell provided 5G network infrastructure for the world's first tele-robotic surgery using ELMED's Avicenna Roboflex system. The ultra-low latency connection enabled Prof. Dr. Tzevat Tefik to control the robotic system from Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine to Mus State Hospital, 1,500 km away. The 5G network was critical for real-time video feedback and movement compensation algorithms that maintained precision throughout the four-hour procedure.
