COMPANY Categories: Contract Manufacturing Services and OEM
A provider of special patient-care products within the medical device industry, we offer global solutions to improve the quality of life!
Qmedics AG is a young Swiss-based medical device manufacturer founded in 2008. Our long year experience in the medical device industry has made us very flexible and highly capable of finding the optimum solution for every customer specific needs.Ever since our foundation, we have been based in North-East of Switzerland, a region famous for technical innovations, with an international character and a sense of global trading. At the beginning of QMEDICS’ existence, QMEDICS offered contract R&D, manufacturing as well as OEM manufacturing for medical devices. As OEM manufacturer we developed, produced and supplied a workhorse of a Nitinol stent QM1 with the matching balloon catheter. This was the pride of the company and became the base of the new product portfolio of today.
In 2017 QMEDICS became an independent company with the opportunity to be legal manufacturer of our own new product portfolio and to do direct sales.
Since the know-how, engineers and production of this design are still at QMEDICS we could improve and expand our product portfolio within a minimum of time. Today the total facility has an area of over 2800m2 of production space, storage areas and offices, including two clean rooms with a total surface of 1200m2. The facility houses sophisticated machinery, EtO-sterilization as well as packaging and labelling equipment. Finally, dedicated, motivated and highly experienced employees.

An overview of our Products Range
Unique Stent Characterization
The Qmedics new stent strategy is based on an innovative product technology, where every patient will get a stent with properties compliant with the lesion and the moveability of the artery.
The new Qmedics Stent-Delivery-System consists of 3 Variants "4F, 5F, 6F" deliverable in two types "PULL & FLEX".
The self-expanding Stent-Delivery-System is indicated to improve luminal diameter in patients with de novo- or restenotic symptomatic atherosclerotic lesions in peripheral arterial diseases.
- Pull Stent Type
The PULL Type is designed to provide optimal balance between compression resistance and longitudinal conformability.
Stent Type Selection/ Indications:
For lesions assessed to benefit from treatment with additional radial force or less bend flexibility the Pull type may be selected.- Torque Stent Type
The TORQUE Type is intended to provide a optimal balance between radial compression resistance and torsion deformation. *In development*
The TORQUE Type is intended to provide a perfect balance between radial compression resistance and torsion deformation. The TORQUE Type is designed to avoid stent buckling and to provide an excellent patency within arteries subjected to torsion and radial compression.
Stent Type Selection/ Indications: *In development*
- Flex Stent Type
The FLEX Type is designed to provide a optimal balance between radial compression resistance and flexion deformation.
Stent Type Selection/ Indications
For lesions assessed to benefit from treatment with additional radial force or less bend flexibility the Pull type may be selected.

EasyX
Liquid EmbolicThe EasyXTM Liquid Embolics is a liquid polymer for embolization through small lumen delivery systems such as micro-catheters, occlusion balloon catheters and injection needles. After injection in liquid phase and upon contact with aqueous environment, the solvent rapidly dissipates in the surrounding tissue and the polymer precipitates in situ, providing a solid cast of the targeted vascular spaces.
NEW PRODUCT added to our Portfolio 31. July 2019
Our investors made it possible to expand our product portfolio with “Easyx“ a liquid Embolic that provides another treatment option for peripheral physicians - the start in Qmedics embolization portfolio, Qmedics embolization pipeline: occlusion balloon and an embolization plug
The EASYX™ Liquid Embolic is a new injectable, precipitating polymeric agent for the obliteration of vascular spaces through direct puncture or catheter access performed under X-ray guidance. The embolic liquid is iodinized Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Polymer ether. Iodine groups are covalently grafted to the PVA polymer backbone, whereby a stable nondegradable polymer with the desired features is created. The resulting polymer is dissolved in Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO).
EASYX™ is CE-marked since December 2016 for the use in peripheral vasculature. The safety and efficacy of EASYX™ embolization liquid for the percutaneous treatment of vascular lesions, i.e. embolization of varicocele, type II endoleaks, portal vein before surgery, active peripheral bleeding or angiomyolipoma (AML) was proven in a clinical trial EASYX-1.EASYX-1: A Multicenter Study on Safety and Efficacy of Easyx Liquid Embolization Agent Used in Five Separate Indications. Publication is planned very soon.
Second clinical trial for the extention of the EASYX indications:
Prospective, Multicenter, Multinational Study to Assess the Safety and Performance of the Easyx Liquid Embolic in Intracranial Interventions IDEALE Study.
This is a Prospective Study to Assess the Safety and Performance of the Easyx Liquid Embolic in Intracranial Interventions.
