Founded in 1999, InSightec Ltd. is a privately held innovative medical device
company that has developed the breakthrough MR guided Focused Ultrasound
(MRgFUS) technology and transformed it into a next generation operating room.
Headquartered in Israel, the company has invested in research, development,
and clinical investigations of its ExAblate system to thermally ablate tumors
inside the body – incision-less, with real-time anatomic and thermal feedback.
ExAblate is currently used to treat uterine fibroids as well as for pain palliation of
bone metastases. ExAblate Neuro has been developed for transcranial, functional
stereotactic applications and has received CE mark for treating essential tremor,
tremor dominant Parkinson’s disease and neuropathic pain. Other applications of
focused ultrasound neurosurgery are under clinical investigation. More information

Innsbruck-based MED-EL Medical Electronics is a leading provider of hearing
implant systems worldwide. The family-owned business is one of the pioneers in
the industry. The two Austrian scientists Ingeborg and Erwin Hochmair developed
the world’s first microelectronic-multichannel Cochlear-Implant in 1977. The
cochlear implant was and remains the first replacement of a human sense, the
sense of hearing. In 1990 they laid the foundation for the successful growth of the
company when they hired their first employees. To date, the company has grown to
more than 1400 employees around the world.
Today MED-EL offers the widest range of implantable solutions worldwide to treat
various degrees of hearing loss: cochlear and middle ear implant systems, EAS
(combined Electric Acoustic Stimulation) hearing implant system and auditory
brainstem implants as well as the world’s first active bone conduction implant.
People in about 100 countries enjoy the gift of hearing with the help of a product
