THE HISTORY OF SCHAERER MEDICAL AG
Maurice Schaerer laid the foundation stone for the Schaerer Medical AG of today in 1892 by founding a factory for surgical instruments and hospital equipment. The status as limited liability company was acquired in 1903. Thereafter a worldwide network of daughter companies and sales partners was quickly established.
The close collaboration of the company with leading doctors started in 1906. Together with the later Nobel Prize winner, Professor Theodor Kocher, developed new surgical instruments, which attracted attention all over the world. Further pioneering concepts for the equipment of complete operating wings were developed together with Professor Tavel of the University of Berne. In 1908 Fritz Schaerer, the nephew of Maurice Schaerer, joined the company. His engineering knowledge helped further improve mainly working and manufacturing methods.
1892
Maurice Schaerer founds Schaerer Medical AG and develops surgical instrument line with Nobel Prize winner Prof. Theodor Kocher.
1912
Schaerer set a milestone in 1912 with the delivery of one of the first mobile operating tables worldwide. In closest collaboration with Prof. Fritz De Quervain of the surgical University Clinic Berne the table was optimised to such an extent, that Schaerer was awarded the Grand Prix of the World Exhibition in Paris two years later.
1939
Not even the First World War and the world economic crisis were able to affect the rise of the company. In 1939 Schaerer developed two fully equipped operating carriages for the army. After the Second World War Schaerer rapidly acquired a reputation as a general provider for the equipment of complete operating theatres.
1957
Schaerer brought the first operating table with X-ray translucent table top and central control system to the market with the Nova X-Ray. The Nova X-Ray was replaced in 1973 by the S-table, the predecessor of the well known operating table range schaerer® axis 400-800.
1993
Schaerer was the first manufacturer succeeding in developing a mobile operating table being certified both for the European and the American market and being compatible with both electric mains networks. This was the first generation of the schaerer® axis 400-800 range. The successors of this range are still leading in the market and set a standard as far as quality and long service life are concerned.
1998
Schaerer relocated its production department to Münsingen. In 2002 all company departments were brought together at the present production site and company head office in Münsingen near Berne.
2001
Schaerer took over the majority shareholding of Ohio Medical Instruments in the US, manufacturer of neuro-surgical instruments being sold under the Mayfield brand, which is well known worldwide.
2003-2008
From 2003-2008 the company figured under the brand name Schaerer Mayfield. As from the middle of 2008, Schaerer was taken over by an investor, successfully restructured and since then goes under the name of Schaerer Medical AG and Schaerer Medical USA Inc.
2009
Schaerer introduced two ground-breaking innovations to the market: the mobile operating table Schaerer ARCUS and the Schaerer MIS Extension System. With a load capacity of up to 500kg/1100lbs in standard position and up to 360kg/800lbs dynamic load capacity in all positions the Schaerer ARCUS table is specially indicated for bariatric surgery, ideally completing the existing operating table portfolio of the company. The new Extension System set a benchmark as far as minimum invasive hip surgery is concerned, having been developed in close collaboration with the Kantonsspital St. Gallen.
