Producten - Oogheelkunde | Laméris

 

Laméris is a trading company specialized in ophthalmic practice equipment, apparatus and disposables for Operating Rooms, diagnostic instruments, and innovations. Laméris specializes in the supply of devices and systems for the following 3 categories: Diagnostics, Surgical and ENT (Ear-Nose-Throat).

Laméris was a subsidiary of “Bestebreurtje Holding”, a parent company with various stakes in companies that are active in the field of optics and ophthalmology. With an MBO, the ambition to continue Laméris as an independent entity has been accomplished.
