Press Release

VANCOUVER, November 1, 2026 – Pacific Surgical Holdings Ltd. (Pacific Surgical) announces the amalgamation of Keir Surgical, Galen Medical and OSIS Medical into a single company operating under the KEIR brand, effective November 1, 2026.

The history of KEIR dates back to 1923, when Robert Keir, a Scottish instrument maker, began repairing surgical instruments for hospitals in Victoria, BC, before relocating to Vancouver, where he expanded into manufacturing. Over the following century, Keir Surgical grew from a regional surgical instrument supplier into a national distributor of surgical and medical products. The acquisitions of Galen Medical and OSIS Medical broadened the surgical product portfolio of Pacific Surgical and added expertise in critical care and advanced surgical visualization.

Now united as KEIR, the Canadian-owned company offers healthcare professionals a broader product portfolio and deeper expertise, while maintaining the same trusted local support. With a nationwide presence, KEIR serves multiple hospital departments and surgical specialties, including ophthalmology, neurosurgery, microscopy, endoscopy, sterile processing and critical care.

“Having been part of this business for more than three decades, I’ve seen firsthand that our success is built on our people, our customer relationships and our commitment to service,” said Michael Fish, President of Pacific Surgical.

“Bringing these businesses together gives us the scale to be a stronger partner to healthcare providers across Canada, while maintaining the personal service and responsiveness our customers have come to expect,” said Matthew Stanimir, President of KEIR.

Three legacies. One future. One KEIR.
