Gyrus

Gyrus Group PLC, now operating as Gyrus ACMI under Olympus Corporation, is a leading medical technology company specializing in minimally invasive surgical solutions. The company is best known for its pioneering work in electrosurgery, particularly its proprietary PlasmaKinetic (PK) technology, which utilizes bipolar radiofrequency energy to cut and coagulate tissue with high precision. Gyrus's product portfolio primarily serves the surgical specialties of urology, gynecology, and otolaryngology (ENT). By integrating advanced visualization tools with energy-based instruments, Gyrus has significantly improved patient outcomes and reduced recovery times for various surgical procedures. Following its $3.6 billion acquisition by Olympus in 2008, Gyrus's technologies have become a cornerstone of Olympus's therapeutic solutions division. The company continues to drive innovation in the development of specialized instruments for endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery.
