Engemed

What Engemed does

Engemed is a privately held Brazilian medical equipment company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo. The company operates through two integrated divisions: Engemed Assistência Técnica, providing technical support, preventive and corrective maintenance, calibration, and quality control services for medical equipment (including tomography, ultrasound, laser, shockwave, x-ray devices, and electrosurgical instruments); and Engemed Indústria, an ANVISA-certified manufacturing unit established in 2006 that develops the company's own lithotripsy product line and offers OEM manufacturing services for foreign medical device companies seeking to commercialize in Brazil.

The company's proprietary product portfolio targets urology and centers on lithotripsy (kidney stone treatment). Core products include the Breakstone 2000, an electro-hydraulic extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter with simultaneous ultrasound and X-Ray focusing and a 3-axis motorized treatment table; the Calculitus, a 3.3 kg portable pneumatic ballistic intracorporeal lithotripter compatible with any endoscopic equipment; the Autoclavable Transducer accessory; and the X-Image fluoroscopy system for stone localization. Both lithotripters hold ANVISA product registrations.

Engemed generates revenue through three streams: proprietary medical equipment sales (including consumables, electrodes, transducers, and probes), recurring technical assistance service contracts, and OEM manufacturing for foreign medical device firms requiring Brazilian regulatory compliance. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, with direct sales to hospitals and urology clinics supplemented by active participation in major Brazilian urology congresses. Customers include hospitals, urology clinics, urologists, and medical equipment manufacturers/distributors across more than 400 cities in Brazil and Latin America. KLS Martin is a disclosed authorized-service partnership. Financing for capital equipment purchases is facilitated through BNDES, FIME, and PROGER programs, with FINAME financing available during congress events.
