The history of Bosch medical technology stretches back to 1949, when the first “Omniton” hearing aid was launched on the market. A year later, the company started developing electric medical apparatus for therapeutic applications.
These included microwave heat therapy units, which warmed selected parts of the body under the skin for use in orthopedic and ENT treatments, for example.
