Atos Medical

Atos Medical is a medical device company with a clear world market and technology leading position in the market for voice and pulmonary rehabilitation of patients who have undergone Laryngectomy (surgical removal of the voice box)

In 2011, EQT acquired Atos Medical from Nordic Capital. The immature state of Atos Medical's key markets, with a significant organic growth potential and increasing penetration, was a key factor behind the investment.
