Since he set up the company in 1976, Dr. Beoni has been the heart and soul of Audio Technologies.
His extraordinary passion for both surgery and technology has driven him to devote a lot of his time to research.
By developing some brilliant concepts in his laboratory, Dr. Beoni has succeeded in creating some of the patented devices that are helping so many surgeons all over the world.
