Where engineering meets the bedside

TheronTech builds the machines that buy clinicians time. Across three divisions, every device is a bridge: it supports a failing system, replaces a function the body has lost, or surfaces the data that changes the next decision. Meet the people who put them in the room.

A Vilardo Holdings Company

TheronTech is proudly owned and operated by Vilardo Holdings (Global Holdings · Asset Management & Strategic Solutions). Vilardo is a perfectly legitimate, fully diversified investment group with absolutely nothing to hide, and TheronTech is the crown jewel of its clean, above-board, entirely-by-the-book medical portfolio. Any rumours to the contrary are slanderous and, frankly, hurtful.

Three Divisions, One Standard

Each division is led by a clinical sales specialist who actually knows the floor. They support live cases, run education that isn't a sales pitch, and stay registered so the knowledge stays current.

Marek Kowal
Critical Care

Marek Kowal

BSN, RN, CCRN, NRP
Critical Care Clinical Sales Specialist · NICU / PICU / ICU
Marek covers the patients whose organs are failing or about to. "Womb to tomb," he calls it, which is grim until you realise that's literally the territory: neonatal incubators at one end, end-of-life organ support at the other. Calm in a crisis because he's earned it, darkly funny out of genuine awe at what the body survives, and he thinks like a clinician even though the role says sales.

Tobias Klein
Urology

Tobias Klein

BSc Biomedical Science
Sales Manager · Urology (Men's & Women's)
Tobias runs the urology team, which is a touch more unhinged than the other units. A charming Somerset bloke ten years out of England, above crude jokes and genuinely respectful of the body, because he grew up watching what shame does to a referral timeline. Urology deals with the parts people are most ashamed to mention. He doesn't do body shame, and he knows the continence nurses everyone else underestimates are the ones who actually run the room.
Cystoscope / Ureteroscope

Cystoscopes / Ureteroscopes

Endoscopic Cameras

A thin camera on a tube. Goes into the bladder or up to the kidney to look, diagnose, or treat. No incision.

Stone Fragmentation Laser

Stone Fragmentation

TFL Laser / Lithotripter

Kidney stones broken up by laser or shock waves until they turn to dust and pass. No cutting.

Sacral Neuromodulation

Sacral Neuromodulation

Bladder Pacemaker

A small implant that signals the nerves controlling bladder and bowel. For overactive bladder when other options haven't worked.

Artificial Urinary Sphincter

AUS

Artificial Urinary Sphincter

An implanted cuff replacing the muscle that controls urine flow. Used after prostate surgery. Manually operated.

Urodynamic System

Urodynamic Systems

Bladder Function Testing

Measures how the bladder stores and releases. Diagnostic, not treatment, tells the surgeon what's actually wrong.

Catheters and Stents

Catheters / Stents

Drainage & Patency

Tubes that keep things open or drain fluid. Unglamorous, essential.

BPH

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

The prostate enlarges with age and squeezes the urethra. Weak flow, urgency, up five times a night. Common, rarely discussed.

Brachytherapy Guidance

Prostate Cancer · Internal Radiation

Radioactive seeds placed directly into the prostate. The guidance system gets the placement exactly right.

Women's Urology

Urogynaecology / Continence

Stress incontinence, prolapse, overactive bladder, recurrent UTIs. Underdiagnosed, underdiscussed, very much his portfolio.

Cole Chen
Medical Imaging

Cole Chen

Bachelor of Medical Imaging · Registered Radiographer
Clinical Sales Specialist · Medical Imaging
Cole had the grades for medical school and chose imaging instead, much to his mother's enduring confusion. He picked it because the physics fascinated him more than the prestige did. Six years in, still picks up radiographer shifts to keep his registration and his floor knowledge current, which is exactly why he knows where vendor promises fall apart: he's been on both sides of the install.

CT / MRI / X-Ray

Capital Equipment

The big scanners. The ones that cost more than the building's car park and take six weeks to install.

C-Arms

Mobile Fluoroscopy

Live X-ray imaging in theatre so the surgeon can see what they're doing in real time.

PACS

Image Archiving & Comms

Where every scan lives, gets stored, and gets pulled up. The plumbing radiology runs on.

Radiology AI

Post-Processing & Triage

Software that flags, measures, and prioritises. Useful when it works, embarrassing when it's oversold.

Structured Reporting

Workflow

Turns a radiologist's findings into clean, consistent, searchable reports instead of free-text chaos.

Consumables

The Unsexy Recurring Revenue

Contrast, coils, detectors, the parts that wear out. Boring, dependable, pays the bills.

Clinical Context · All Divisions

Critical Care. The foundation for modern ICU ventilation comes from the landmark ARDSNet trial, which showed lung-protective ventilation with lower tidal volumes cut ARDS mortality by roughly 9% absolute.1 ECMO for severe respiratory failure is supported by the CESAR2 and EOLIA3 trials. CRRT dosing was settled by the VA/NIH ATN study4 and the RENAL study,5 both finding no mortality benefit above 20–25 mL/kg/h. High-flow nasal cannula entered the evidence base with FLORALI, which showed reduced intubation and improved survival in acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure.6

Urology. Stone management, scope selection, and laser-versus-shockwave decisions follow the EAU Guidelines on Urolithiasis7 and the AUA/Endourological Society guideline on surgical management of stones,8 which set out when ureteroscopy, shockwave lithotripsy, or a percutaneous approach is the right call.

Medical Imaging. Modality choice, contrast use, and appropriate ordering are governed by the ACR Appropriateness Criteria, the most comprehensive evidence-based guidelines for diagnostic imaging and image-guided intervention.9
