LMT Medical Systems GmbH

What LMT Medical Systems GmbH does

LMT Medical Systems GmbH is a privately held German medical technology company founded on May 2, 2001, and headquartered in Lübeck, Germany. The company specializes in MR-conditional medical devices that enable diagnostic MRI imaging of newborns and premature infants while they remain inside a protective, temperature- and humidity-controlled incubator environment. Its flagship product, the nomag®IC Advanced MR Diagnostics Incubator System, is described as the world's first and only incubator specifically designed for in-MRI use, allowing transport directly from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to the MR suite without removing the infant from the life-sustaining environment. The portfolio includes a 16-Channel Neonatal Head Array Coil and a 12-Channel Neonatal Body Array Coil available in variants compatible with Siemens, Philips, and GE MRI platforms at 1.5T and 3T field strengths, plus the LMT IncuCap protective cover accessory.

LMT generates revenue primarily through capital equipment sales of the nomag®IC system at price points of approximately €200,000 to €400,000 depending on configuration, with cumulative installed base of 100+ units across 70+ clinics worldwide. The company has added a German rental model for risk-averse clinics and supplements product sales through imaging coil and accessory revenue. Sales are organized by geographic region (Europe, Americas, Asia, MENA, Australia/New Zealand) with direct enterprise field sales, a US subsidiary for the American market, and a China distributor network following 2021 regulatory approval. Customers include university hospitals such as Universitätsklinikum Jena, Tübingen, Essen, and Mainz, with notable institutional wins including a €1M+ order from Polish hospitals funded by the WOŚP charity. The company employs approximately 20 people, achieved full EU MDR compliance in April 2025, and operates without disclosed external institutional funding under founder/management control via Managing Director Torsten Lönneker-Lammers.

Products and services

• nomag®IC Advanced MR Diagnostics Incubator System MR-conditional incubator system that allows premature and newborn infants dependent on incubator care to be transported directly from the NICU into the MRI suite for examination. The infant remains protected inside the life-sustaining, temperature- and humidity-controlled incubator throughout the entire transport and MRI examination. Designed for use with Siemens, Philips, and GE MRI systems at 1.5T and 3.0T field strengths. Capital equipment priced at approximately €200,000-€400,000 depending on configuration.
• 16-Channel Neonatal Head Array Coil Multi-channel head coil designed for MRI brain examination of premature and newborn infants. Provides high-resolution imaging for early detection of brain damage, improving survival and developmental outcomes. Available in variants compatible with Siemens (NHAC SMS 16), Philips (NHAC PH 16), and GE (NHAC GE 16) MRI platforms.
• 12-Channel Neonatal Body Array Coil (NBAC m2) Multi-channel body coil for MRI examination of chest, abdomen, heart, and spine in neonates. Consists of two parts: an 8-channel base section integrated into the lying surface and a 4-channel top section placed on a coil-holder above the patient. Designed for use with the nomag®IC incubator system.
• LMT IncuCap Cover accessory for the MR incubator that protects premature babies from light and disturbance during transport from the NICU to the radiology suite, providing additional comfort for the infant during the procedure.

Quantifiable outcome

• Most infants 'sleep through' the MRI examination, reducing or eliminating the need for sedation or general anesthesia

• Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy (WOŚP)coreGTM or Marketing Partner · 20 December 2019The Polish charitable foundation 'Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity' (WOŚP) funded the purchase of LMT nomag®IC systems for four additional Polish hospitals in a transaction exceeding €1 million. WOŚP had raised over 175 million Zloty (approximately €276 million) specifically for pediatric medical equipment starting from January 2019. This partnership enabled LMT to secure a major institutional sale while fulfilling its social mission of helping premature infants in Poland.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• GE HealthCare: GE HealthCare is one of the three dominant MRI manufacturers whose scanners LMT's nomag®IC system is compatible with. Broad incumbent that could vertically integrate into MR-compatible neonatal accessories and serves the same pediatric hospital customers.
• Philips Healthcare: Philips Healthcare manufactures MRI systems (Achieva, Ingenia) that integrate with LMT's incubator. Broad incumbent MRI vendor serving the same tertiary pediatric centers with potential to bundle neonatal-specific accessories.
• Drägerwerk: Drägerwerk is a major medical and safety technology company with a substantial neonatal care portfolio including incubators, warmers, and neonatal ventilation equipment. Comparable as a broad incumbent serving NICUs with overlapping hardware categories, though it does not offer MR-conditional incubator systems.
• Siemens Healthineers: Siemens Healthineers is a leading MRI manufacturer whose 3T and 1.5T systems (TIM Trio, Verio, Skyra, Avanto) are explicitly supported by LMT's incubator. Broad incumbent with potential to develop competing MR-conditional neonatal solutions for the same hospital market.

Direct peers

• Atom Medical: Atom Medical is a Japanese manufacturer of neonatal care equipment including incubators, infant warmers, and phototherapy units. Directly comparable as a maker of specialized neonatal care hardware serving the same hospital NICU customers as LMT, though without the MRI-conditional specialization.
• Time Medical Systems: Time Medical Systems produces dedicated neonatal and pediatric MRI systems designed for use in NICU environments. Directly comparable as a specialized MRI manufacturer focused on neonatal imaging workflows where LMT's incubator solution is used.
• Aspect Imaging: Aspect Imaging develops compact, high-performance MRI systems specifically designed for neonatal and small-animal imaging applications, including dedicated NICU MRI solutions. Directly comparable as a niche MRI developer serving the neonatal diagnostic segment that LMT's incubator enables.

Emerging players

• Hyperfine: Hyperfine develops portable, low-field MRI systems designed for point-of-care use including in NICU settings. Emerging player addressing the same neonatal MRI diagnostic need through a different technical approach (portable MRI rather than MR-conditional incubator), making it a thematic peer.
