About Us

Our Company

Established in 1998, Synapse Medical has solidified its position as the premier provider of Diagnostic Imaging services in both Ireland and the UK. With a widespread presence across these regions, our company boasts a team of dedicated employees, including a proficient group of Clinical Sales Specialists. Our commitment is steadfast when it comes to ensuring that our customers not only meet but exceed their expectations in terms of service.

At Synapse Medical, we have harnessed the expertise of our highly skilled and medically trained personnel who work hand in hand with our partners to deliver tailored solutions for all our customers' needs.

As part of the Uniphar Medtech (previously SISK Healthcare) family of medical device distribution companies, we made a strategic move in 2023 to realign our divisions within the group. This allowed us to consolidate our interventional business under the M3 Medical brand, thus enabling Synapse Medical to concentrate exclusively on our core competency, which is Diagnostic Imaging.

Our success is underpinned by our strong partnerships with some of the world's leading brands, including GE Healthcare, Ulrich, Febromed, Kubtec and Calmed among other. As a testament to our growth and accomplishments, Synapse Medical became the exclusive distributor for Ulrich Medical in Ireland and the UK following a business expansion in 2016.
