About GERATI Healthcare
Part of a family business founded in 1972; GERATI Healthcare established in 2007. We design and manufacture laryngoscopes and laparoscopic trainers for hospitals, training centres, distributors and OEM partners.
Advanced instruments, built on a family tradition
GERATI Healthcare designs, develops and manufactures instruments for airway management and minimally invasive surgery.
Our main focus is laryngoscopes and laparoscopic trainers. We work closely with anaesthetists and laparoscopic surgeons in Pakistan and abroad, so our products are shaped by the people who use them every day.
Our goal is to be a reliable industrial partner to the medical community: we listen to clinical needs and turn them into practical, well-made solutions.

How GERATI began
By the mid-2000s, the family business had decades of experience in general surgical instruments. The next step was clear: move into more specialised, higher-technology instruments.
That idea took shape after one of our directors, Mr Aqeel Abbas, joined an industrial study visit to leading medical device research and development centres in Sweden and Germany. The visit gave the family the push to pursue high-tech medical instruments, and GERATI Healthcare was founded in 2007.
Our team of engineers and product designers brings experience in precision manufacturing and electro-medical technology. We work side by side with surgeons and anaesthetists to turn their ideas into working products.
Presidential Award for Excellence, 2015
GERATI Healthcare was one of the first companies in Pakistan to design and develop advanced instruments for minimally invasive surgery. This was a significant step for an industry best known for general surgical instruments.
In recognition of this work, GERATI was selected for the Presidential Award for Excellence in 2015.
