Research and innovation plays a crucial role in our business activities. We continuously invest significant amounts of money in research and development (more than 15% of our turnover). 80% of our innovative product portfolio is younger than two years.

Each single innovation at Ziehm Imaging is designed with a keen sense of safety and security. This philosophy is reflected in our set of corporate principles and values.

Through cooperations with leading research centers, universities and hospitals worldwide, we combine strengths and pave the way for the implementation of innovative technologies that drive medical advancements.

Mobile C-arms open the path from conventional to minimal-invasive surgery.
This means

• Safer procedures and intra-operative quality checks
• Faster recovery time for patients
• Shorter hospital stays
• Superior healing chances
• Increased patient throughput.
  

Our mobile C-arms open up new dimensions in patient care. Being the ‘surgeon’s first choice’ as a small and efficient intra-operative imaging tool, they support all procedures and help the surgeon in delivering faster and more precise treatment. We set standards in terms of mobility, compact design and highest image quality at the lowest possible dose. Mobile C-arms from Ziehm Imaging are the best choice to meet all your requirements.
