Solos Endoscopy, Inc. was founded in 1986 and was a pioneer in the video imaging market during the emergence of Minimally Invasive Surgery in the early 1990's. The Company's early work in laparoscopic endoscopy allowed Solos to become a market leader during this time. Solos was then acquired by BircherMedical Systems during this period, in one of the largest endoscopic deals at the time.
