ATMOS MedizinTechnik

ATMOS MedizinTechnik is a German medical technology company headquartered in the Black Forest region. It develops, manufactures, and distributes medical suction systems and complete solutions for ENT (ear, nose, and throat), gynecology, and swallowing diagnostics. The company traces its origins to 1888, when Dr. Ernst Silten acquired the Kaiser Friedrich Pharmacy in Berlin. In 1904, Dr. Silten developed a pressure and flow control valve for oxygen that was given the name ATMOS, and in 1927 the first suction pressure and hot air device for medical and dental purposes was patented, establishing the company's core competency in suction technology. Today, the ATMOS Group employs over 300 people worldwide, operates 15 subsidiaries, and maintains representative offices in India and Colombia, along with approximately 70 national agencies. It supplies manufacturers, distributors, hospitals, and doctors worldwide. The product portfolio includes treatment units such as the ATMOS C 21 Economy and C 31 Economy, the ATMOS S 61 CORIAN ENT treatment unit, the ATMOS Scope flexible HD video nasopharyngolaryngoscope, the ATMOS LC 27 bronchial suction device for nursing homes and homecare, and the ATMOS ENT Case Manager IT system. The company also offers hospital, clinic, and practice furnishing concepts, digital integration, and technical product services. ATMOS positions itself as a provider of safe, reliable, and application-oriented solutions, with a philosophy of 'Together ahead.'

The history of ATMOS MedizinTechnik begins in 1888 with the acquisition of the Kaiser Friedrich Pharmacy at Karlstraße 20a in Berlin by Dr. Ernst Silten (family name until 1918: Silberstein), a Jewish scientist and pharmacist born in Königsberg. Silten thought beyond merely selling medicine, and the pharmacy became the birthplace of many revolutionary ideas in medical technology. In 1904, Dr. Silten developed a pressure and flow control valve for oxygen that was given the name ATMOS. In the following years, a small factory was founded for manufacturing chemical-pharmaceutical preparations as well as pharmaceutical and medical devices. In 1918, a general agency agreement granted the Kaiser Friedrich Pharmacy exclusive distribution rights for medical equipment from Drägerwerk in Lübeck. In 1927, the first 'suction pressure and hot air device for medical and especially dental purposes' was patented, marking the birth of ATMOS's core competency in suction technology. Over the following decades, the company grew and evolved into an internationally active manufacturer of medical technology devices and products. The ATMOS Group now employs over 300 people worldwide, with 15 subsidiaries and representative offices in India and Colombia, as well as approximately 70 national agencies. The company remains headquartered in the Black Forest region of Germany and continues to develop application-oriented solutions for medical suction, ENT, gynecology, and swallowing diagnostics.
