Dedicated to Quality in Childbirth
K2 Medical Systems began life as the Perinatal Research Group based in Plymouth Hospital, UK in 1989 (company profile) Our vision has been to bring midwives, doctors and technologists together to develop innovative solutions to improve maternity care for clinicians, mothers and their babies.
The research consistently maintained a pragmatic focus and was always intended to one day find its way into clinical practice where it would do some good.
K2 Medical Systems has been very successful in its mission. Some 90% of all
UK hospitals have at least one of our products and we have enjoyed great success in other countries too.
This has been an incredibly challenging journey and there remains much to do but the Perinatal
Research Group was formed because we were passionate about improving maternity care and this
remains our motivation today as K2 Medical Systems.
