Heinz Kurz

Heinz Kurz is a German medical device company focused on ENT and related surgical specialties, with particular strength in passive middle ear implants, ventilation tubes, and precision instruments. The company is best known for otology products used in tympanoplasty and stapes surgery, and it also sells products for rhinology, laryngology, and ophthalmology. Its business is commercial-stage rather than drug-development oriented, and its portfolio is centered on implantable and surgical device products rather than therapeutics. Heinz Kurz operates internationally from Dußlingen, Germany, and is represented in the United States by Kurz Medical Inc. The company is now part of the bess group.
