Ziehm Imaging: 40 Years of Innovation in Mobile X-ray Technology
NUREMBERG, Germany, May 3, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Mobile C-arms from the German market and innovation leader win over hospitals
throughout the world
Ziehm Imaging has stood for mobile X-ray-based imaging for 40 years, and is the
acknowledged technological leader in mobile C-arms. With its innovative solutions, the
manufacturer has played a significant role in the rapid development of mobile X-ray
technology in recent years. Since the company was founded in 1972, more than 10,000 Ziehm
Imaging C-arms have been installed in hospitals and medical facilities around the globe.
The Nuremberg-based company, with offices in the U.S., Italy, France, Finland, Russia,
Brazil, China, Singapore and South Africa, specializes in the development and production
of mobile C-arms. Its range of products targets clinical users' needs - e.g. portable
devices for emergency medicine in mobile OR units and liquid-cooled high-end devices for
hybrid operating rooms. "Our strength lies in our dedicated focus on intraoperative
imaging solutions in combination with our global distribution network covering more than
75 countries," explains Martin Törnvik, Vice President Global Sales and Marketing of
Ziehm Imaging GmbH.
As part of its global "40 Years of Innovation" campaign, Ziehm Imaging is seeking to
convey its mobile C-arm expertise to its target groups: through its website, well-placed
advertisements, trade fairs and direct customer contact.
Innovation as a model for success
The C-arm specialist invests around 15 percent of its annual turnover in research and
development - a policy that has led to considerable success. In the past 40 years, Ziehm
Imaging has brought numerous new developments in the area of mobile X-ray technology onto
the market and is the market leader in numerous countries. In 2006, the company's first
fully digital, mobile C-arm heralded a new era in imaging. Just last year, Ziehm Imaging
presented the Hybrid Edition of the Ziehm Vision RFD - a cost-effective, high-performance
alternative to fixed installed systems in hybrid rooms.
With a product portfolio in which 80 percent of devices are less than three years old
and with exciting innovations in development, the company is in an ideal position to
further increase its share of the global market in the years to come.
