Circon Corporation: Leading American Innovator in Medical Video Systems and Endoscopic Instruments

Circon Corporation is the largest producer of laparoscopes, medical video systems, and endoscopic suction irrigation devices in the United States. With the acquisition of Cabot Medical Corporation in 1995, it also became the largest producer of ureteral stents and gynecological sterilization products. A pioneer in medical video technology, Circon designs, manufactures, and markets the complete optical-video chain for use in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The system integrates all elements generating the optical image, including advanced endoscopes, the video camera system, adapter optics, and light source.

Circon's product line also includes other electronic equipment as well as electrosurgical and manual instruments used by surgeons to diagnose, perform biopsies, conduct surgeries, remove kidney and gallstones, perform cauterization, and excise benign tumors.
