Leisegang was again able to achieve a significant increase in sales this year – and this in the 2nd year with corona restrictions. Special thanks go to our exclusive dealers, who have made a decisive contribution to this with their sales successes:
SWSY, Exclusive Distributor in China
For over a decade, SWSY Leisegang has been the exclusive distributor in the People's Republic of China, the world's largest market for colposcopes. During this period of successful cooperation with SWSY, colposcopes were installed in many Chinese hospitals in most provinces of the People's Republic of China. The Leisegang brand has thus asserted itself as the market leader for high-quality colposcopes in China.
In 2021, SWSY was once again able to sustainably increase sales of Leisegang colposcopes. An outstanding achievement considering that this success was achieved in the second year of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and in competition with a variety of local, Chinese and international manufacturers!
We would like to thank the two managing directors Mr. Je Ling and Mrs. Jin Xin as well as their entire team for their high commitment, their wealth of ideas and congratulate them on their impressive success!
Eurotech, Exclusive Distributor in Russia
Leisegang and Eurotech have had a successful business relationship on the Russian market for over 25 years. During this time, Leisegang colposcopes were installed in well over 2000 Russian hospitals.
Also, in the second year of covid-19 restrictions, the team has succeeded in increasing sales extraordinarily significantly. Leisegang was thus once again able to prove its market-leading position in the binocular high-quality segment.
We would like to thank the entire team, especially the managing director Alexey Issaev, Tatyana Matushevskaya, Ekaterina Kuznetsova and all employees for their outstanding commitment!
ELOI/Promotal, Distributor in France
Leisegang has been working successfully with ELOI/Promontal in France for many years. In 2021, Leisegang and its dealer ELOI were able to significantly increase sales.
We congratulate on this success and thank the entire team for the commitment shown. We see the future of our further cooperation positively.
Medicare, Distributor in Thailand
Medicare (Thailand) Co. Ltd. and Leisegang have a long-standing business relationship.
Medicare (Thailand) Co. Ltd. was established in 1985 as a distributor and importer of medical devices in Thailand. With their 36 years of experience in the Thai market, they successfully distribute medical devices with a focus on gynecology.
In 2021, Medicare was able to significantly increase sales of high-quality Leisegang colposcopes. We would like to thank the entire team around Patamon Suwannapasri, her husband Jadetapat Suwannapasri and her parents Pairoje and Vipavee Wonnaparhown and congratulate them on this impressive success.
Klose Medizintechnik, Distributor in Germany
A trusting cooperation has shaped the business relations between Leisegang and Klose Medizintechnik for many years.
Klose Medizintechnik GmbH, based in Dresden, has been an expert in the sales and support of medical technology for over 20 years. Klose has been part of the GRAUPNER medical Group since 2021 and is expanding its portfolio.
As one of the main dealers with the highest turnover in Germany, Klose Medizintechnik was able to sustainably increase its sales in the second year under COVID-19 conditions.
At this point we would like to thank the team around Jörg Klose and the new managing director Romy Gerber as well as colleague Daniel Berthel for the support and excellent sales results in 2021!
ZIMEDA GMBH & Co.KG, Distributor in Germany
ZIMEDA GmbH & Co. KG has developed into the dealer with the highest turnover in southern Germany. The many years of expertise in the medical field and the focus on "high-end" colposcopes from Leisegang enabled a significant increase in sales in the 2021 financial year.
It has thus developed into a stable partner of Leisegang. We congratulate the medical technology team under the leadership of Bernhard Hien on this path to success and thank the entire team for their commitment!

70 Years LEISEGANG
In September 2017, Leisegang will celebrate its 70th birthday. It could hardly have been imagined by any of Leisegang's founding fathers that over its 70 year existence it would develop into the world market leader in colposcopy.
Gynacologists from more that 80 countries today recognise Leisegang colposcopes as the gold standard in colposcopy. Leisegang is the market leader in the high end sector in the USA, Russia and China, as well as other countries. Nearly every second colpsocope in Germany bares the name Leisegang. The use of high quality optics, of white-light LED lighting, as well as a high level of hand finishing account for the excellent quality which is essential for reliable findings in gynaecological consultations, and which Leisegang have constantly maintained over the decades.
The range of colposcopes offered is wide, and range from a standard model with several magnification levels to photo and video colposcopes with integrated or externally connected cameras. Optimal additional equipment like documentation software increase the number of possible applications.
We would like to thank our customers for their ever-lasting trust in our company and in our colposcopes. We would like to use this jubilee to take a short look back at our company history.
