About Wismed

From humble beginnings to being one of the top choices of leading specialists in endourology this is the story of Wismed, a small medical devices company with big dreams.

The Story Behind the Brand

Wismed was founded in 2001 by Anesthesiologist, Pawel Wisniewski. Driven by his love of physics and medicine, Pawel started Wismed to give surgeons better tools and eliminate their frustrations in operating theater.

Today Wismed has a range of medical devices that are sold throughout the world including Japan, South Africa and several countries in Europe.

Hands-on Approach We are part of every step of design and development, ensuring great quality at all touch points.

The Urology Collection

We spent years studying renal hydrodynamics and the effects of irrigation on intrarenal pressure during flexible ureteroscopy, then we applied this knowledge in the design of the devices in our urology collection.

 
 

The WiScope® Collection

We have teamed up with OTU Medical Inc. a Silicon Valley based medical tech company to bring specialists across South Africa a reliable Single-Use Digital Flexible Ureteroscope and Cystoscope. Featuring excellent handling, deflection radius, small shaft and the highest resolution.
