Meibot Technologies is a healthcare equipment company based in Alappuzha, Kerala, working across India. We do three things. We supply and service Indian and imported physiotherapy, rehabilitation, robotic rehabilitation and gynaecology equipment. We manufacture hospital furniture, patient hoist systems, customized treatment beds and unweighing systems. And we develop new physiotherapy and rehabilitation equipment, drawing on our engineering and clinical expertise.

Meibot was founded in 2021 by Muralikrishna S (BE, MTech, MBA, MSW), who has over 10 years of experience with biomedical equipment across the Middle East and India and spent many of them teaching Biomedical Engineering, and Dr. Parvathy Raveendran (MBBS, MS, DNB in Obstetrics & Gynaecology), a practising gynaecologist whose clinical work directly shapes our gynaecology range.

Harikrishna S is a co-founder with 19 years as a sales specialist across India and the Middle East, and leads sales strategy and business growth.

Our registered office is at ARA 44, Thyparambil Building, Second Floor, Ammankovil Street, Mullackal, Alappuzha, Kerala – 688011. We supply across India.

Yes. Meibot Technologies is a registered proprietorship and our GSTIN is 32BVOPM0744D1ZT. We can raise a proper GST invoice for institutional and hospital purchases.

There's a practising Obstetrician & Gynaecologist among the founders. So before anything gets built it has already been argued about by somebody who works with patients on a table every week, which is a different starting point from a drawing office. The other thing is that we make and we supply. We can change a bed's dimensions to fit your room, and service the imported gait trainer standing next to it. Most companies do one or the other.

We manufacture hospital and clinical furniture, patient hoist systems, customized treatment beds, unweighing systems, exercise and therapy equipment, parallel bars, therapy stairs, standing frames, clinical examination furniture, height-adjustable couches, and medical and instrument trolleys. We also design and build custom healthcare solutions for specific clinical projects.

Yes. We supply and service technology-driven rehabilitation equipment that brings precision, consistency and measurable progress to patient recovery. Robotic systems repeat the same movement at the same resistance for as long as the protocol demands, and record every repetition — which is what makes progress reportable to a clinician, a family or a payer.

Because most of what we sell is specified rather than picked off a shelf. Price depends on the configuration, the quantity, whether the item is standard or built to your dimensions, and where it is going. Tell us the requirement and we come back with a specification and a price — not a brochure.

Yes. Sales and service is half of what this company does, Indian equipment or imported. Muralikrishna spent over ten years working hands-on with biomedical equipment and taught Biomedical Engineering for a good part of it, so service isn't something we farm out to somebody else.

A combination unit, nine times out of ten. One purchase covers pain, muscle work and tissue repair, and the Brio Combination Therapy System runs two stimulation channels and a full ultrasound channel at once, so three patients can be on it at the same time. That matters more than it sounds when you're trying to fill a new appointment book. If your budget is tight and you know you won't touch ultrasound for a year, start with the Brio Advance IFCT and add ultrasound later. Tell us your caseload and how many rooms you have and we'll tell you which one, including when the cheaper one is the right call.

Count how many patients are on beds in your busiest hour. That's your answer. Two channels do one region on one patient properly. On the Multi-Stim 4 and the TENS 4 all four channels have their own intensity control, so you can cover a large area, work both sides at once, or run two patients off one machine. In a busy OPD the extra channels stop feeling like a luxury within about a month.

Separate machines cost less each, and if one dies you still have the other. That's a real argument and we're not going to talk you out of it. What you give up is the combined application, where ultrasound and electrotherapy run together on the same site; the manufacturer's claim is that it gets through pain and tissue repair in less time. You also give up a trolley and a plug point, which in a small clinic is not a small thing.

Size and screen, mostly. The Brio units are light and compact and go to a home visit without complaint. The i-COMBO is a bigger platform built around a 7-inch capacitive touch screen, and you can spec it with two or four channels, with or without 1 and 3 MHz ultrasound. It also carries electrode placement guides, an anatomy library, pathology videos and dosimeters on screen. Colleges and teaching hospitals usually want it for exactly that. A one-room clinic almost never does.

Only if you assess denervation. If you're a musculoskeletal practice doing backs, knees and shoulders, you don't. If you see nerve injuries, post-surgical denervation or neuro rehab, the Brio Diagnostic Muscle Stimulator (DMS-4) earns its place: it plots an S-D curve for the assessment and then treats with galvanic, interrupted galvanic, faradic, surge faradic and TENS from the same box.

Low-voltage current for pain relief. The biphasic waveform has a short pulse duration and stimulates nerve fibres in the skin and in muscle tissue strongly. On the Brio Combination unit you get 0–100 mA, frequencies of 4, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 120 and 150 Hz, and pulse widths from 30 to 300 µs. It's the one current your patients will already have heard of and will ask for by name.

TENS is aimed at pain. NMES is aimed at making the muscle contract. NMES is a symmetrical biphasic waveform with a 100 µs interphase interval, and because the pulse is short it puts a low load on the skin, which is what lets you push the intensity high enough for strengthening work. On the Brio Combination unit it runs 0–100 mA, 20–999 µs, 1–200 Hz, with single, reciprocal and co-contraction modes and ramps of 0.5, 1, 2 or 5 seconds.

Two medium-frequency currents get crossed inside the tissue, and where they interfere you get a low-frequency effect down at depth without the skin discomfort that direct low-frequency stimulation causes. Patients tolerate it, which is why it ends up being the workhorse current in most clinics. You'll find it as 4-pole, 2-pole and Vector at 40% and 100% on the Brio Advance IFCT, Brio Combination, Brio Multi-Stim 4 and i-COMBO.

Strengthening muscle, mostly. It's also used to re-educate a muscle group after a nerve pathway has been damaged, a stroke being the common case. On the Brio Combination unit it runs 0–100 mA with burst frequency 20–100 pps and duty cycles of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50%.

A monophasic waveform, 2 ms phase with a 5 ms pause, which works out to roughly 143 Hz. Used mainly for headaches and neck pain. It comes with polarity reversal you can switch on or off, and it's on the Brio Combination and the i-COMBO.

Galvanic is direct current flowing one way only; interrupted galvanic switches it on and off. It's what you reach for with denervated muscle, which is why it's on the Diagnostic Muscle Stimulator and the Portable Muscle Stimulator as well as the combination units. On the Brio Combination it runs 0–100 mA at 1, 3, 50 and 100 Hz, with pulse widths from 0.01 to 300 ms.

The Brio Combination Therapy System, which also has dosimetry for it, the i-COMBO and the Diagnostic Muscle Stimulator. Treatment time is 1–99 minutes on all three. Iontophoresis sends a mild current through water into the skin, and it's usually used for excessive sweating.

High Voltage Pulsed Current. Very brief pulse duration, with two distinct peaks. It's on the Brio Combination and the i-COMBO.

It maps how much current a muscle needs to contract across a range of pulse durations. The shape of that curve tells you whether the muscle is innervated, partly denervated or completely denervated, and repeating it over months shows you whether the nerve is coming back. If you follow nerve injuries, that curve is the objective record you put in front of the patient and the surgeon. Plotting is on the Brio Combination, the Diagnostic Muscle Stimulator and the i-COMBO.

NMES fires a muscle. FES fires a sequence of muscles, timed to produce a movement that actually does something. The FES-4 has four channels and eight electrodes, with constant current up to 130 mA, which is enough for severely denervated muscle, large muscles and whole muscle groups. Body-part templates get a sequence built fast, you can adjust the stimulation and rest periods, and you can save it and pull it back next session instead of starting again.

Yes. The FES-4 takes an insole foot switch, so the stimulation fires off the patient's own gait cycle rather than the therapist watching and pressing a button. There's a separate hand-function mode on the same unit.

Nerve tissue gets used to an unchanging stimulus and stops responding as well. Anti-accommodation keeps varying it so the response holds up through the whole session instead of fading in the last ten minutes. It's on the Brio Combination Therapy System.

1 MHz goes deeper and suits bulky tissue. 3 MHz is absorbed nearer the surface. You don't have to pick: the Brio Dynamic Ultrasound and the Brio Combination unit give you both from a single applicator, so you change depth without changing heads.

The unit varies frequency and power through the treatment instead of holding one setting. It uses the penetration depth of 1 and 3 MHz along with power modulation to treat layer by layer. That's the difference between this and an ordinary dual-frequency machine, and it's where the name comes from.

2.5 W/cm² continuous, 3 W/cm² pulsed. Duty cycles of 10%, 20%, 50% and continuous, pulse rates of 16, 48 and 100 Hz, and a 5 cm² head as standard. Timer to 99 minutes, 25 programs in the clinical library. The crystal is German, and there's a watchdog on the ultrasound that checks output is actually being delivered rather than assuming it.

If your ultrasound sessions are long and your therapists are the bottleneck, yes. It stays on the patient so nobody stands there holding it. The manufacturer's case is precise targeted treatment, a modulation program that avoids hot spots, and no operator error. The practical case is that it hands a therapist twelve minutes back. If you're single-handed and doing three ultrasounds a day, skip it. It's accessory 28103 on the Dynamic Ultrasound and the Combination unit.

Power, and what that power costs you in handling. Class IIIB is an 850 nm / 100 mW infrared probe applied point by point, and it's an easy machine to have in a room. The Class IV Photon Laser puts out 10 to 15 W, so you cover ground faster and reach deeper, and you get pulsed emission variable to 2000 Hz, duty cycle to 50% and a high-intensity pulse mode. It also needs proper eyewear, a controlled room and staff trained on it. Don't buy Class IV unless you're going to run it properly.

Yes, they behave differently in tissue, which is the whole reason there's a choice. You can have 10 W at 980 nm, 10 W at 1064 nm, 10 W at 980/810 nm, or 15 W at 1064 nm. The Trishul carries all three at 30 W and lets you dial the percentage of 810, 980 and 1064 nm yourself, or choose the clinical effect and let the unit pick the mix.

Energy transferred into the tissue through capacitive and resistive electrodes, working on the principle of a condenser. It works on any tissue type regardless of density, which is unusual. The effects listed are analgesia, managing inflammation, deeper and stronger blood flow, more oxygen and nutrients delivered, higher metabolism and raised tissue temperature.

Capacitive puts the energy into soft tissue, so muscle, fascia, viscera and lymphatic vessels, and the effect stays fairly local. Resistive puts it into hard tissue, so bone, tendon, joint and ligament, and it goes deep and works across several joints at once. The i-TECAR has both, plus two more modes on top.

IDC runs at 300 kHz. It's for deep muscular tension and for helping revascularisation inside fibrotic tissue. Dynamic Capacitive scans through different depths automatically instead of you working down level by level.

Pain, traumatology and rheumatology, and acute, sub-acute or chronic trouble in muscles and joints. It's used to improve joint mobility and to break the pain, inflammation and stiffness cycle, and for lymphatic drainage. Sports setups run it either side of activity, warm-up before and recovery after. Five treatment options on the unit: Standard, Static, Functional, My Touch and Oracle.

No. Traction pulls along the spine. Decompression is about dropping the pressure inside one particular disc, and that needs control of the angle and the position of the pull, not just how hard you pull. The RSD-4D is a non-surgical 3D decompression system built for the symptoms that come with herniated, bulging, degenerative and protruding discs.

Because of a reflex that works against you. A normal traction machine pulls at a constant speed, and at around 18 kg the body's proprioceptors fire, the brain tells the para-spinal muscles to contract, and they pull back against the machine. The muscles guard. Instead of taking pressure off the disc, you can end up adding to it. D-TRAC is built around that problem, with a progressive pull instead of a constant one.

Lumbar work can be prone or supine, and the lumbar section moves in three dimensions: flexion or extension, side flexion, rotation, with distraction on top. Cervical is supine with motorised flexion and extension, and the assembly swings from −20° to +30°. Every one of those positions is motorised and driven from a computerised cockpit with a 10-inch colour touch screen. It lifts 350 lb, and the electric elevation runs 21–29 inches.

That's the reason to buy a robotic one. The angle of every position shows on the cockpit screen, so you can get to virtually 100% repeatability session to session and the variability that comes with setting up by hand disappears. It reads out and graphs the protocol continuously and tracks treatment digitally in real time. Set-up is quick as well, because there are no ropes or pulleys to thread.

Yes, on the Traction System (04015). Four-section table with electric Hi-Lo, which also means getting a patient across from a wheelchair isn't a wrestling match. It targets a specific vertebra by varying the angle of pull, does supine and prone, and doubles as a manipulation table.

One section is a plinth. Perfectly good for massage and general treatment, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Two or three sections give you head and leg positioning, which covers most outpatient work. Five and six add an independently adjustable arm section and finer positioning for specialist work. The Phantom comes in one to six sections on the same frame, so decide by the therapy you do, not by the frame.

The Phantom goes 57 to 100 cm electrically, 205 × 65/75 cm top, 200 kg patient load. The Phantom-X runs 50 to 98 cm on an X-frame with a 200 × 65 cm top. Both have a large breathing slot, and the head sections are gas-assisted from −35° to +85°.

Wide and low: 205 × 120 cm, electrically 56 to 100 cm, 200 kg. The width is the whole point of it. The therapist can work alongside or across the patient, and the patient can sit, move and transfer on the surface rather than being stuck lying on a narrow plinth. Doing neuro-developmental treatment or paediatrics, you need one. Not doing either, you don't. There's a two-section option.

Getting somebody upright again in stages after a long spell lying down. Orthostatic tolerance, loading the skeleton, starting to take weight before they can stand on their own. The Phantom Tilt Table tilts 0 to 90°, is electrically 57 to 100 cm, takes 200 kg and measures 180 × 65 cm. At a full 90° it stands 250 cm tall, so check your ceiling before you order. Large wheels, three Velcro straps and a work table come with it.

It carries part of the patient's weight so they can practise standing and walking before they're able to hold themselves up. The i-GAIT is built to give a safe environment for gait therapy, and comes as i-Gait or i-Gait Dynamic, with adult and paediatric harnesses.

Your door width. Then your door width again. A 205 cm table on castors has to physically get into the room, and that's the phone call we get after delivery more than any other. Power is ordinary single-phase; the tilt table is specified at 220–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Send the room dimensions and the door width with your enquiry and we'll confirm it fits before anything gets built.

Yes, and it's part of the supply, not a line we add on afterwards. Equipment gets handed over working, and your staff get shown how to run it before we leave.

Yes. Sales and service is half of what this company does, Indian equipment or imported. Muralikrishna spent over ten years working hands-on with biomedical equipment and taught Biomedical Engineering for a good part of it, so service isn't something we farm out. Send the make, the model and what it's doing, and we'll tell you straight whether we can help or whether you're better off going back to the original supplier.

Ordinary single-phase. The Brio Combination unit is 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz, drawing 0.5 kVA. The Brio Dynamic Ultrasound runs anywhere from 90 to 250 V AC. The tilt table is 220–240 V AC. Nothing in this catalogue wants three-phase.

Yes. Registered proprietorship, GSTIN 32BVOPM0744D1ZT, proper GST invoice. We already supply hospitals, physiotherapy clinics, rehabilitation centres, gynaecology and obstetrics practices, nursing and medical colleges, home healthcare providers and gyms.

Because almost nothing here is one fixed thing. The price moves with the configuration: how many channels, ultrasound or not, how many table sections, which laser wavelength and power, then quantity, accessories and where it's going. Publishing a number would mean publishing a wrong one. Tell us what you need and you'll have a specification and a price, usually the same working day.

Depends whether it's coming from stock or being built to your specification, and where it's going. We put a realistic date in writing with the quotation, before you commit to anything. We'd rather give you a date we can hold than a date that wins the order.

A licensed practitioner, under prescription and supervision. That's the manufacturer's own instruction, and it comes with a reminder to stay current on the indications and contraindications for electrotherapy and ultrasound. Nothing on this page is clinical advice. It describes what the machines do; the clinical decision stays with you.
