About Ovesco
Ovesco Endoscopy has been created by a group of scientists and clinicians leveraging their knowledge and research assets in the field of advanced endoscopic and surgical procedures in the gastrointestinal tract.
Our core competence is to invent endoluminal procedures and technologies that provide significant advantage to patients and clinicians in the field of gastrointestinal diseases. Our employees strive to develop and market products of outstanding quality and customer benefit.
We develop, manufacture and market instruments and systems for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. We offer comprehensive procedures, not only products, and support you all the way from training to intervention.
Ovesco’s hallmark are innovative endoscopic clipping systems. The OTSC® is our product platform for the treatment of gastrointestinal hemorrhage and for endoscopic digestive organ wall closure. Our clip technology forms a solid basis for many other procedures. Over the years, our portfolio has been expanded by novel resection techniques, such as FTRD® and RESECT+, and also diagnostic sensor capsules, such as the HemoPill®.
Our headquarters is based in Tuebingen, Germany. Furthermore, Ovesco has locations in France, India and the USA. Patients are treated with Ovesco products in over 80 countries worldwide.
Our Purpose
Ovesco Endoscopy AG was founded by a group of scientists and medical practitioners. It is our aim and ambition to facilitate the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal diseases with our instruments and procedures for interventional endoscopy, to offer minimally-invasive solutions to improve their quality of life. We accompany physicians and healthcare professionals along the entire path from training to intervention. The products of Ovesco Endoscopy AG could already save the lives of many acutely ill patients. This makes our entire team proud and drives us to further innovations.

At Ovesco Endoscopy, innovation is our driving force. Our substantial research and development department works meticulously on creating groundbreaking products for interventional endoscopy. We focus on perfecting every detail to ensure our solutions effectively address gastrointestinal health challenges.
Our innovation process is guided by close collaboration with medical practitioners and scientists, ensuring our products meet real clinical needs. This collaborative approach has led to breakthrough technologies like the OTSC® System and the FTRD® System that have transformed endoscopic treatment possibilities.
Quality is the cornerstone of everything we create. A high level in production expertise and a rigorous quality management system ensure all products meet the highest international standards and regulatory requirements. We continuously monitor and improve our processes to deliver medical devices that physicians can trust completely when treating their patients.
Success & Growth
What began in 2008 as a small group of entrepreneurs with a shared vision has evolved into a globally recognized medical technology company. Today, Ovesco employs over 100 permanent people at our Tübingen headquarters, plus additional team members at our international locations.
Our growth trajectory reflects our commitment to meaningful innovation. We believe in nurturing talent and creating pathways for the next generation. Through vocational training programs, internships, and student research opportunities, we invite young professionals to contribute their fresh perspectives while gaining valuable industry experience.
