Diacor

Diacor is a long-established, private medical device company that has developed a specialized niche in high-precision patient positioning. Its core innovation is the Zephyr Patient Positioning and Transfer System, which utilizes air-based hover technology to transfer patients seamlessly and accurately between diagnostic imaging systems (like CT, MRI, PET/CT) and treatment devices (like linear accelerators) or surgical suites. This addresses a critical workflow bottleneck in complex, image-guided procedures such as radiation therapy and hybrid OR surgeries. With hundreds of global installations, Diacor serves premier cancer centers and hospitals, leveraging deep clinical relationships to refine its solutions.

Patented hoverboard-based patient positioning and transfer system (Zephyr) that uses air-bearing technology to move patients with submillimeter accuracy across multiple imaging and treatment modalities.

Diacor occupies a specialized niche with its dedicated hover-transfer technology. Competition likely includes generic patient transfer methods (sheets, manual lifting), custom in-house solutions from large hospitals, and potentially integrated tables/transfer systems offered by major imaging (Siemens, GE, Philips) and radiation therapy (Varian, Elekta) OEMs as optional accessories.
