Editorial

Medtech made in Germany The medtech sector has established itself as an important pillar within the health economy in Germany. During the last few years the companies have shown constant growth and increasing turnover. Most of the dynamics are due to their high capability to develop innovative medical products and new beneficial services. In addition, the medtech sector seems to be becoming increasingly interesting as a business field for companies from the pharma, IT, and manufacturing sectors. They are discovering the digital opportunities of e-health, the combinations of drugs with medical devices, and the many other synergies that arise as service providers and manufacturers in the life sciences offer their processes and products to all players in the field.

This clearly shows that the different intersections of the life sciences are already closely connected. With the second edition of our “Guide to German Medtech Companies”, BIOCOM AG follows this development, highlighting the impressive diversity of the German medical technology sector within the life sciences. The Guide offers a broad picture of different companies within the scene – from medical device developers to manufacturers, service providers, and organisations. In addition, the most recent developments in the German medtech sector are summarised in the introduction.

Dr Boris Mannhardt CEO, BIOCOM AG

The Guide to German Medtech Companies is supported by our partners Germany Trade & Invest, BVMed e.V., Medical Valley EMN e.V., Life Science Nord, Cluster InnovativeMedicine.NRW, Medical Mountains, SPECTARIS, and Forum MedTech Pharma. These national organisations and regional networks are important stakeholders, helping to establish further growth of “Medtech made in Germany” by providing the right environment for traditional family-owned firms, global players, startups, technological forerunners, manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers.

As this book will be distributed across several international medtech events in Europe and overseas, it will hopefully play its part in strengthening the visibility of German medtech companies on an international level. Regardless of the diversity of electronic, user-orientated information available nowaday, this publication will surely become a must-have on the desk of every professional in the rapidly developing field of life sciences.

The German Medtech Industry: Prepared for Disruption Germany is a proven location for the development of high-quality medical devices. A high percentage of annual turnover is invested in R&D, and two thirds of revenues are earned from products introduced to the market within the past three years. In addition to the R&D efforts of the companies, universities as well as research institutions provide excellent innovations that play an important role in medical care. But how have industry-changing developments such as digitisation, personalisation, and automation affected the situation? For innovations, the path from invention to the market has always been long and winding. Although the new developments hold the promise of some shortcuts, they come with their own caveats as well.

Responding to an altered landscape Let’s talk about mobile health, which empowers individuals to take control of their own health and wellness.

For the healthcare industry, this means no less than a shift from control to collaboration. Medical device companies should be alert to new business models threatening their core business. Instead of merely extending the existing technology portfolio by incremental innovation, large device companies have begun taking a pro-active stance towards so-called disruptive technologies. Business models dependant upon these technologies often require the development of some kind of market from scratch. This includes educating potential users before appreciable profits can be expected. But companies are increasingly willing to take the risks.

“The digitisation of processes in production as well as in services has spurred the development of many new business ideas,” says Joachim Schäfer, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf. “Innovations by small companies and start-ups attract large players from the healthcare sector,” he adds. Schäfer has the figures to back up his claims: in 2016, Medica, the world’s largest medical fair and Düsseldorf’s flagship event, hosted an all-time record 5,000 companies and organisations from more than 70 countries. “The large companies were looking for new opportunities in Düsseldorf to prepare their business for the future,” Schäfer recalls.

On a European level, the Boston Consulting Group summarised the situation in the medtech industry as follows: “While the industry enjoyed robust top-line growth and healthy margins in the first decade of the 21st century, that performance is now threatened.

Pricing pressure, the emergence of more sophisticated new buyers, intensifying competition, new market-access schemes and regulatory changes are all driving this shift. The critical question is whether medtech companies will respond quickly and effectively enough to the altered landscape.”

The German industry is well-aware of this “altered landscape”. According to a survey among the members of industry association BVMed, 41% of German medtech companies acknowledge that digitisation affects their products and services. Asked for the fields with the greatest impact, medical apps (39%), electronic procurement (39%), and smart factory manufacturing (38%) were mentioned most frequently.

A striking example of the adaptability of the German healthcare system became public in the summer of 2016. For the first time, a German statutory health inGuide to German Medtech Companies 2017

surance provider – Barmer – invested in a venture capital fund. This fund is managed by Berlin-based Earlybird Verwaltungs GmbH. Further investors are NRW Bank, Miele, Generali, and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, which is putting parts of its ERP programme into the fund. Insurance company Barmer is covering €15m of the planned total investment of €100m to €120m.

The rationale behind involving a reimbursement body in the company-building process is evident. Pharma, biotech, and medtech companies are struggling to develop new drugs, diagnostics, and medical devices; they invest money, time, and brainpower. Up until now the insurers and service providers in the German healthcare sector could only say “Thumbs up!” or “Thumbs down!” at the very end. But health insurance companies should know best what’s needed for a better and more cost-effective patient care.

Within the tight allowances of German social legislation Earlybird has found a viable way to cooperate with a

health insurance company. With the involvement of Barmer – all fund raising partners agree – innovations should find their way to the market much faster than before. But despite this success, Joachim Schmitt, CEO of BVMed, also sees ample room for improvement: “In order to maintain the industry’s innovative power, we have to adapt our reimbursement and assessment systems to the dynamics of the new technologies. This is the only way to enable patients to participate in medical progress without delay.”

Germany – a production powerhouse and a powerful consumer Germany is Europe’s leading business location for medical technology. In terms of new patent registrations, German manufacturers are currently ranked second behind the USA, making Germany Europe’s strongest location for innovation in this industry. In 2015, the European Patent Office registered 1,456 applications filed by inventors from Germany. The medical technology industry employs more than 95,000 people in Germany directly. Adding medtech-dependent jobs in related sectors, this figure rises to 166,000. According to the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), the health sector as a whole is Germany’s number one in terms of jobs, providing meaningful work for 6.8 million people.

On the consumer side, Germany is the third largest market for medical technologies in the world. German annual expenditures on medical devices and technologies amount to more than €30bn. With this figure, Germany is by far the largest market in Europe. It is about twice as large as the French and three times as large as the British or Italian market. Against this background, medical device companies in Germany have shown constant growth over the past years.

On a growth track For 15 consecutive years, the health industry in Germany has managed to increase its share of the country’s value creation. After growing annually by an aver-

age of 7% for the last ten years, the export volume in 2015 reached €100bn – already half the number of the German automotive sector.

European countries and 18% each to North America and Asia, respectively.

Furthermore, healthcare is a sector destined to grow.

Mostly due to increasing health problems, the healthcare spending of the average German has recently increased – and will likely continue to do so. Consequently, forecasts of the BMWi expect almost eight million people to be employed in the healthcare sector by 2030 – about one tenth of the country’s population. A close look at the German medtech industry reveals a tight dependancy on international trade. The industry continues to show superior growth in the export markets than in the domestic market. According to the 2016 BVMed fall survey among 80 international medtech companies, the expected worldwide growth in sales for 2016 was 5.9%. In contrast, sales growth in Germany was expected to be around 4%.

Trained people, added value

With an export rate of more than 65%, the German medtech industry has great influence both within Germany and throughout the world. Products invented, constructed, and improved by innovative “hidden champions” from Schleswig-Holstein to Bavaria are available across the globe. 51% of all exports go to

Besides a stable legal framework, an unequalled eagerness to innovate, and an efficient regulatory system, Germany has another asset that should not be forgotten – its people. Here, the country is among the world leaders in terms of quality of education and training of young people destined for careers in the healthcare industry.

Some 40 German universities independently offer fully fledged courses of study in the field of medical technology. Excellent programmes and highly qualified teaching personnel ensure excellent university educations for young talent, for example in the fields of engineering, biotechnology, and medicine.

Among the primary healthcare policy concerns of the medtech companies is their request for a better mutual recognition of studies and their call for uniform benefit assessment procedures across Europe. At the top of the healthcare policy agenda are the acceleration of the translation of innovations into practical applications and the desire for greater inclusion of the industry in the reimbursement process.

Medical devices and other strengths German companies have occupied virtually all available niches within the medtech sector – and are constantly generating new ones. Focusing on niche markets has often been part of the process of becoming a world market leader. Beginning with a particular focus, a large number of German medtech companies have successfully managed to considerably expand their business operations.

The top four sectors in terms of value account for half of the total market: 17% of production is related to dental medtech products, 16% to orthopaedics and prosthetics, 10% to radiology, and 8% to surgery.

Beyond that, new areas such as in vitro diagnostics, imaging systems, and e-health are experiencing a dynamic development that is also spurred by numerous innovative solutions from Germany.

German products have also been associated with high quality for decades and are in demand worldwide. Thanks to close cooperation among universities, the private sector, and hospitals, German medical technology is developed with patients and users directly in mind.

The majority of medical technology companies have years of experience marketing these products in countries across the globe. They are therefore able to produce equipment and technology to meet the specific needs of customers. However, medical devices are not the only focal point for continuous improvement. A broad range of German medical technology companies also offer packaging and system solutions. These comprehensive solutions cover everything from delivery and set-up to briefings and maintenance.

Tapping external innovation Having close ties with small start-ups developing exciting new technologies is a common way of keeping up a company’s innovation inflow. Two of the most active companies in this regard are B.Braun-affiliated Aesculap AG and chemical corporation Evonik Industries AG. In 2016, the Tuttlingen-based surgery expert Aesculap set up one of the largest ever corporate venture capital investments in a German university spin-off ever.

Neuro­loop GmbH is an early-stage spin-off company from the Freiburg University and the Freiburg Univer-

sity Hospital. According to Aesculap, Neuroloop’s neuro­stimulation technology provides a unique entry point into the field of functional neurosurgery. The young company said that a strategic partner like Aesculap “is a very interesting alternative to classic venture capital funding from the financial market”.

But Aesculap’s activities didn’t stop there. Joining classic venture capitalists, the company invested in Swiss Advanced Osteotomy Tools, which develops robots for laser-assisted surgery and in Israeli start-up Gordian Surgical, which markets a trocar with a built-in closure device.

Evonik wants to spend €100m as venture capital, and since the formation of Evonik Venture Capital in 2012 has continued to invest in promising start-ups – among them also some from the medtech realm. Currently, Evonik holds stakes in nine start-ups and four funds.

In 2016, Evonik pinned its hopes on a leg-lengthening treatment by Synoste, a Finnish-German medical technology start-up, and on a bioabsorbable, sutureless and synthetic option to close large-bore arteriotomies, developed by Irish Vivasure Medical.

The latest aficionado of corporate venture capital is German industry heavyweight Siemens. In the summer of 2016, the Munich-based company announced its €1bn programme Next47. Health start-ups are welcome to apply for funding. However, they should be focussing on either artificial intelligence, autonomous machines, connected mobility, distributed electrification, or blockchain applications.

Investing in revolutionary ideas Looking beyond the well-known enterprises such as Siemens, Otto Bock, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bayer, B. Braun, and Dräger, small companies at the other end of the size spectrum also contribute their share in making the German medtech landscape as diverse and exciting as it is. Coldplasmatech is one outstanding example. A spin-off from an East German research institute, the company is developing a wound dressing

that produces a cold physical plasma that helps close chronic wounds. In 2016, Coldplasmatech continued to rake in awards for their idea – and also money from business angel.

There were also notable investments in 2016 in medtech additive manufacturing companies that needed fresh capital to grow their businesses: Emerging Implant Technologies (EIT) GmbH received capital from SHS Gesellschaft für Beteiligungsmanagement mbH and Munich start-up Mecuris from regional investor Bayern Kapital, as well as from BMWi initiated High-Tech Gründerfonds.

While EIT aims to revolutionise the titanium implant market, platform technology developer Mecuris strives to become the leading global one-stop service for medical practitioners who want 3D-printed patientspecific prostheses and ortheses. These ambitious projects easily prove: the German medtech scene is not just prepared for the emergence of disruptive technologies – it is fuelling and shaping the medical technology of the future.

Health – Made in Germany, the German health industry’s export initiative “Health – Made in Germany” is an initiative of Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) that supports companies in the German health industry in gaining access to promising markets. Health – Made in Germany achieves this by developing tailor-made measures in Germany and selected target countries.

It also pools all industry-relevant activities for promoting foreign trade. Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI) – Germany’s foreign trade and inward investment agency – is responsible for implementing the programme and its projects.

Health – Made in Germany is commercially neutral and primarily dedicated to serving small and mid-sized firms (SMEs) active in medical technology, pharmaceuticals, medical biotechnology, and digital health.

The Medical Technology Working Group concentrates on providing information about the benefits of German medical technology and maintaining a dialogue with foreign government representatives. Currently, it is intensifying emphasis on regulatory and non-tariff barriers to market access. The following measures are underway:

tor representatives to attend and receive information about what Germany’s medical technology firms have to offer.

The conference is now being accompanied by Round Table talks with Mexican stakeholders to establish a regular dialogue with them. Its aim is to discuss opportunities and challenges in the health care markets and to get a better insight into current reform efforts in Mexico.

Missions in Berlin Health – Made in Germany also informs diplomatic representatives in Germany about the advantages of German healthcare industry products and services. The diplomats tour of the MEDICA, for example, gives diplomats a chance to speak directly with German manufacturers of innovative medical technology at the world’s largest trade show for the sector.

Medtech market access campaign Since the start of the initiative, seminars and workshops for German medical technology firms have taken place in selected key markets (Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Australia, and Indonesia). In addition to providing information on individual markets and regulatory barriers, the initiative also maintains a dialogue with political decision makers and institutions in target countries. Take the Mexico Conference, for example.

Mexico conference Mexico offers particularly good business opportunities for the medical technology and healthcare information technology (IT) sectors. To give German firms access to local government healthcare institutions, Health – Made in Germany organises an annual health industry conference in Mexico. It invites hospital operators and administrators, doctors, vendors, and other health sec-

BVMed – The German Medical Technology Association Enhancing health

Our core messages

The German Medical Technology Association (BVMed) is an industry association that represents more than 230 medical technology industry and trade companies.

Among the members of the association are 20 of the largest medical device manufacturers worldwide in the consumer goods sector.

1. Medical devices are indispensable for health and quality of life.

2. Medical technologies are an investment in life and in productivity of people.

3. Innovative medical technologies must be available for patients in need of them, without delay.

The German medtech industry at a glance 1. The medtech sector is shaped by medium-sized companies. 95% of the German medtech companies employ less than 250 people.

The scope of BVMed’s members comprises the entire sector of medical dressings, medical technical aids such as ostomy and incontinence products or bandages, plastic disposable items such as syringes, catheters and cannulae as well as the implants sector of intraocular lenses, hip, knee, shoulder and spinal implants, heart valves and defibrillators and even artificial hearts. Homecare services, applications of nanomedicine and biotechnology procedures, such as tissue engineering (tissue replacement), are further fields of activity of its members.

As a trade association, BVMed promotes and represents the combined interests of the medical technology industry and trade companies. In various sectoral interest groups, focus groups, and working groups, the association offers its members a platform for a constructive dialog and exchange of views. BVMed represents the concerns of its member companies to policy makers and the public in general. This is achieved not only by information and public relations work, but also by participation in the development of laws, guidelines and standards.

2. The medical device industry is highly innovative and characterized by short product cycles. The German medtech manufacturers generate around one third of their revenue with products that have been developed in the recent three years. The pioneering medtech companies invest an average of 9% of their revenue into research and development.

3. The medtech sector is an important factor concerning jobs and the economy as a whole. In Germany, the industry employs almost 200,000 people. Furthermore, each medtech job secures 0.75 jobs in other industry sectors. The German medtech industry’s export rate is currently at 68%.

MedicalMountains – a strong network for a successful future Baden-Württemberg is one of the leading locations in the medical technology sector. Its attractiveness reaches far beyond the country’s borders. The district of Tuttlingen alone counts a concentration of more than 400 enterprises of the sector. For this reason, the region is also known as the “World Centre of Medical Technology”. For many years, tradition and innovation have gone global from here.

The strong innovation capacity is impressively proven by the fact that one third of all turnover of these enterprises consists of products less than three years old.

Nonetheless the strongly regulated market and an intensely competitive environment raise permanent challenges for the sector. That is why a well-focused management of continuous advancement and an innovative network are an indispensable basis for long-term global success.

Success factor innovation – ideas that build bridges to the future MedicalMountains is a cluster initiative for the medtech industry based in the heart of the World Centre of Medical Technology.

Shareholders of the MedicalMountains AG are the Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Tuttlingen District, the NMI Natural and Medical Sciences Institute at the University of Tübingen, the Surgical Mechanics Guild Baden-Württemberg, the Hahn Schickard Society for Applied Research, the Chamber of Crafts Constance and the city of Tuttlingen.

Our particular interest is to strengthen innovative capacity and long-term competitiveness, both for single companies as well as for the entire medical technology business cluster.

For this purpose we actively represent the interests of medtech enterprises on a political level, encourage innovation and technology transfer by directing work groups or R&D projects, organise training seminars and other informative events, and provide support for other service topics such as internationalisation or common marketing activities, amongst others.

MedicalMountains – more than just a loose affiliation of companies The companies of the cluster consist of more than 90% small businesses and mid-sized companies, making the importance of the network even more crucial now than ever before. The medical sector is experiencing constant change and increasing competition worldwide. For companies of any size, collaboration and exchange with regional partners brings immense knowledge and a lead in technology – as well as enhancing the appreciation of the location for the region itself. MedicalMountains brings order to this natural, mutual structure. Future-oriented, prudent management is the basis for effective, constructive and farsighted developments in medical technology.

In collaboration with a growing network of industry, research institutions and government policies, the cluster initiative MedicalMountains actively represents the interests of medtech enterprises. The focus of the cluster initiative is to promote growth, strengthen competitive advantages, and increase the sector’s international visibility even further. For this purpose MedicalMountains provides a platform for regular dialogue and technology transfer. It brings forward innovation by initiating directed project works, promotes qualification of specialised staff, and advises on subsidies or the opening up of new foreign markets. Our way of working is based on a close collaboration with the companies of our network.

F over 300 1996 | Hearing Aids | Hearing implants | Hearing solutions | Tinnitus

auric auric is an established leading provider of products and services in the field of hearing acoustics in the German market. The company was founded 20 years ago in the Westphalian city of Rheine, which remains the company’s registered headquarters.

auric DIREKT and auric 24 In cooperation with an increasing number of ENT practices and health insurance companies, auric offers the provision of hearing aids directly through attending ENT doctors. This has become feasible thanks to the remote adjustment of hearing aids using a secure connection between the ENT practice and a hearing acoustician at the head office, where the necessary settings can be made. This innovation has turned out to be the foundation for the continued success of our company.

With auric 24, the company is taking a new direction in terms of online sales of hearing amplifiers and accessory products. Pre-set hearing amplifiers can be tested in everyday use over a 4-week period without obligation to purchase. Furthermore, auric has successfully specialised in further business sectors and task fields:

auric hearing centres With more than 60 specialist shops – auric Hearing Centres – auric is now counted among the top 10 classic hearing acoustic companies in Germany. Our own hearing systems, as well as those of other leading manufacturers, are sold in all specialist shops. In addition, an increasing number of hearing centres are equipped for the after-care period for patients with hearing implants.

auric hearing implants One of auric’s special focal points is modern after-care for patients with hearing implants (e.g cochlear implants). The “auric-Remote-Fitting-System” (aRFS) was developed in cooperation with the Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (Hannover Medical School). With the help of videos and

auric

audio connections, a trained audiologist can modify current settings on the CI processor without the need for the patient to go to hospital. Numerous auric Hearing Centres offer their clients this local after-care service. auric is a certified partner of the companies Cochlear, Advanced Bionics, Oticon Medical, and MED-EL.

auric research and development (R&D) For many years now, auric has been cooperating in research and development with numerous representatives from the fields of science and industry. Current projects are funded by the German Bundesministerium fĂźr Bildung und Forschung (Federal Ministry of Education and Research). One of these projects involves the development of an intracochlear implant: an acoustic implant was designed with an ICAS (Intracochlear Acoustic Stimulator). This operates as follows: the sound signal is recorded by a microphone and the individually amplified signal is transmitted via an infra-red LED through the eardrum and picked up by a photo receiver in the middle ear. This project was concluded in 2015 and is now the basis of a new research project involving an individualised intracochlear implant for out-patient implantation using a cloud service which allows for local remote adjustment by an acoustician. And with the use of an app the wearer of the implant will be able to adjust some of the functions by himself/herself.

Another promising project is the hearing contact lens.

This is a completely newly conceived in-the-ear device, equipped with an integrated micro-battery, which is attached directly to the eardrum. A prototype is expected to be available in 2018.

Supported by:

auric’s high level of innovation spans from the remote adjustment of a hearing aid and the development of a partly implantable hearing aid to a hearing contact lens.

For more than 20 years, auric has been linking science and skilled crafts and trade through a combination of medical, audiological, and technological expertise, aiming at continuously new objectives and projects for the improvement and modernisation of prevention, treatment, and after-care of hearing impairment.

CIM DATABASE Medical – the integrated industry solution Our industry solution CIM DATABASE Medical promises to let you take control of the lifecycle of a medical device and thus have more time for what is important, namely developing innovative products and helping people.

Manufacturers of medical products must be able to ensure beyond doubt the quality of their products and processes and be able to prove this in ever greater detail. CIM DATABASE Medical is an integrated project, process, and documentation environment designed according to the principle of compliance in process: from the initial product requirements through to regulatory approval – as well as in the case of changes or reaudits – valid, verifiable, and complete data and documents are recorded directly in the context of the project and release processes. This ensures that compliance with regulatory requirements throughout the entire product lifecycle can be achieved more rapidly and with significantly less effort.

Complex devices, financial pressure, and increasing regulation The medical engineering industry is characterised by short innovation cycles coupled with numerous stringent regulatory requirements and specifications. Industry experts forecast a significant increase in the financial outlay, time demands, and structural efforts required for clinical trials and other operations – in particular in the case of high-risk medical devices. What is more, newly developed medical devices are becoming increasingly complex and are consequently placing new demands on product development. The pressures facing manufacturers could hardly be greater: the task is to increase the efficiency of the innovation processes in order to minimise the time that elapses from the initial idea to the use of the device in standard care practice. In this context, a systematic, quality-assured procedure that ensures end-to-end traceability with a minimum of overhead is absolutely essential.

Mastering the lifecycle of a medical device CIM DATABASE Medical provides an integrated industry solution that takes account of the special requirements of the medical engineering industry and allows manufactures to master the lifecycle of a medical device. CIM DATABASE Medical incorporates requirements, data, documents, projects, and processes and – as a central source of data, offers comprehensive validity control and traceability throughout the entire development process. The solution’s central components also include FDA-compliant digital signatures, which can be used to electronically sign not only documents but also any other objects, such as BOMs and multimedia elements, without media discontinuities or loss of time.

CIM DATABASE Medical thus helps companies meet industry-specific compliance requirements with significantly less effort. The integrated modules for project, process and quality management allow companies to cut their lead times, reduce overhead thanks to fewer stand-alone solutions and increase their efficiency.

The driving force for medical engineering Medical engineering is an extensive subject. It ranges from research and development of patient-operated mobile devices and surgical and diagnostic tools to simulation facilities for the training of physicians. Each application case makes special demands of the components which are used. However, what they all have in common is the requirement for maximum reliability, safe operation, as well as high precision. Microdrives from FAULHABER are therefore playing an increasingly important role, particularly in medical engineering. From the powerful DC motor with a continuous torque of 200 mNm to the filigree microdrive with an outer diameter of 1.9 mm, the standard range offers than 25 million different ways of putting together the optimum drive system for a particular application.

Minimally invasive operations and endodontics Compact drive solutions make it possible to install state-of-the art technology in small devices that require little room, therefore providing the basis for surgical implements that can be used in patient-friendly, minimally invasive operations (Image 1). Thanks to a brushless DC motor with a diameter of 4 mm, intracorporeal pumps which replace a heart-lung machine during the operation are so small that they can be inserted into the patient through a small incision in the groin. And lightweight, comfortable microscope glasses with automatic focus adjustment are already standard equipment for surgeons. Quiet DC microdrives are also the driving force behind new endodontics systems, which are becoming more common in dental practices, helping to make even complicated root canal treatments bearable for the patient.

Faulhaber drive systems

Mobile applications The small drives are also extremely suitable for mobile applications due to their low power consumption. They therefore make it possible to have compact, fully-automatic blood pressure gauges which do not place a strain on the user, even over long-term use (Image 2), and medication pumps that the patient wears directly on the body for individual active substance dosage. Scanners for measuring circulation at the hand or innovative respirators for patient-friendly ventilation are also typical areas of application.

Innovative prosthetics As well as for their compact design size, the drives score points because of their high precision control, excellent EMC compatibility, and long service life with maintenance-free operation. Thanks to their versatile designs, the drives can be integrated into different devices, and customer-specific adaptations can be achieved within a short period of time, which opens up many other potential uses. In prosthetics, for example, powerful micromotors ensure that myoelectric hand prostheses can grip quickly or firmly and maintain the gripping force constantly while holding. (Image 3). The versatile microdrives are therefore making an important contribution to the future of medical technology in many different areas.

In such cases, the requirements for the devices are fundamentally different from those for adults; artificial respiration needs to be as gentle as possible and must take physiological differences into account.

Annual Turnover · ca. €20m External · worldwide Collaborations

Long-term expertise in artificial respiration, which has made innovative medical technology from the Westerwald region so popular, has also been the basis for further research and development in adult ventilation.

This has culminated in the new portable respirator EVE, which sets new standards in its field. Close contact with doctors and nursing personnel enhances such expertise and guarantees future product improvement.

The recent development and integration of a module for the automatic control of oxygen saturation in respirators, thus improving treatment of premature babies, is just one recent example of how Stephan’s innovations continue to result in further lifesaving technology.

This is based on our intensive research, manufacturing in our own plants, close collaboration with high-performance suppliers, and the transfer of expertise within the uvex safety group. This ensures laservision’s technological excellence on a lasting basis.

L aservision

Laser safety eyewear Laser safety eyewear consists in most cases of two components: frame and filter. The legal requirements of the European laser safety standards EN 207/EN 208 require that the frame has to withstand the same level of radiation as the filters (stability against laser radiation). It must also prevent the laser beam from reaching the eyes from the sides (side protection). Unmarked filters need to form an inseparable unit with the frame.

Always the “weaker� part determines the protection level of the whole system for the specified wavelength and operation mode.

Large area laser protection Based on all available technologies, laservision offers laser safety windows made from mineral glass or plastic material. A careful selection of the right material can save costs, especially in OEM applications. Apart from particular requirements, such as large window areas for laser labs, laservision also provides such products as cabin windows for automated laser work stations or customised filters for special set-ups.

The key to success The key to the success of laservision is people. For us the solution of your laser safety problem is the daily focus of our work. Our dedicated and motivated employees are responsible for achieving the exceptional levels of innovation, service, and quality for which laservision is well known. With effective teamwork and committed leadership we will continue to provide effective laser safety solutions for our customers worldwide.

Annual Turnover · €557m (2015) External · 44 subsidiaries and shareholdings in Collaborations 24 countries, with more than 130 selected partners all over the world

Lohmann & Rauscher Lohmann & Rauscher (L&R) is a leading international supplier of high quality, future-oriented medical devices and hygiene products – ranging from conventional bandages to modern treatment and nursing systems.

Created in 1998 from the merger of the two companies Lohmann (founded in 1851) and Rauscher (founded in 1899), L&R has more than 160 years’ expertise as a dependable partner and solution provider for its customers. With more than 4,500 employees, 44 subsidiaries and shareholdings, as well as more than 130 selected partners, L&R is represented in all important markets around the world and was able to realise a sales of 557 million euros in 2015. The company’s headquarters are located at the Rengsdorf (Germany) and Vienna (Austria) sites.

Suprasorb CNP – a new standard in negative pressure therapy Under the name CNP – Controlled Negative Pressure – L&R offers a complete system for negative pressure therapy that includes all the necessary components: first the Suprasorb CNP therapy units, that generate negative pressure and are suitable for both hospital and mobile use, as well as wound fillers, wound foam and antimicrobial absorbent cotton gauze. These are complemented with two unique CNP therapy components: the patented Suprasorb CNP Drainage Film for open abdomen and the innovative dressing Suprasorb CNP EasyDress, which was specifically developed for use on the extremities.

Negative pressure therapy is often used if traditional methods of wound care do not appear sufficient after analysing the wound situation. It is used for acute wounds, infected postoperative wounds, burns, and chronic wounds such as decubitus or lower leg ulcers.

Practical experience has shown that negative pressure therapy can lead to more effective wound healing and accelerated wound closure in patients.

Lohmann & rauscher

Simply successful In 2011, the state of Rhineland-Palatinate awarded L&R an innovation prize in the “Special Award” category for the Suprasorb CNP Drainage Film.

Suprasorb CNP EasyDress – which, like the Drainage Film, was developed in L&R’s own centre of expertise – revolutionises the use of negative pressure therapy on patients with arm and leg wounds: the doctor pulls the dressing like a stocking over the affected limb, allowing the wound to be quickly and easily sealed airtight using adhesive strips, so that the negative pressure can be generated. In November 2016, Suprasorb CNP EasyDress was awarded the 2016 Lower Austria Innovation Prize in the B2B innovations for industry category. This prize is awarded by the state of Lower Austria and the Austrian Economic Chambers (WKO).

Wound care from a single source: 3-step wound therapy With its 3-step wound therapy, L&R also offers optimal treatment solutions for any type of wound or wound healing phase: first, effective and gentle wound bed preparation forms the foundation for a successful healing process. Then, acute or chronic wounds are managed with an approach that is carefully tailored to the individual phases of wound healing, including the use of appropriate wound dressings for dry or moist wound care. Finally, compression therapy applies pressure to the blood vessels and the surrounding tissues, which promotes venous blood flow and the drainage of lymphatic fluid, thus creating the foundation for positive healing outcomes for venous leg disorders.

Last but not least, L&R supports doctors, nursing staff, and other medical professionals by providing hands-on training and instruction on site, and by offering courses at the L&R Academy, including training in how to meet the difficult challenges posed by wound care.

Company profile MagForce AG, listed in the entry standard (MF6), together with its subsidiaries MT MedTech Engineering GmbH and MagForce USA, Inc., is a leading medical device company in the field of nanomedicine in oncology.

The group’s proprietary NanoTherm® therapy enables the focal treatment of solid tumours through the intratumoral generation of heat via activation of instilled superparamagnetic nanoparticles. NanoTherm®, NanoPlan®, and NanoActivator® are components of the therapy and have received EU-wide certification (CE mark) as medical devices for the treatment of brain tumours.

MagForce, NanoTherm, NanoPlan, and NanoActivator are trademarks of MagForce AG/MagForce USA, Inc. in selected countries.

NanoTherm® Therapy NanoTherm therapy is a new approach for the local treatment of solid tumours. Its principle is based on superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NanoTherm) which are instilled into a tumour via minimal invasive procedure and activated in an alternating magnetic field generated by the NanoActivator. Such activation generates heat locally from within the tumour, which either irreparably damages tumour cells (thermoablation, temperatures > 45°C) or sensitises them to concurrent radio- or chemotherapy (hyperthermia, temperatures ≤ 45°C). NanoTherm is a colloidal dispersion of nanoparticles (~15 nanometers in diameter) with iron oxide cores and a proprietary aminosilane coating ensuring agglomeration of the particles at the site of instillation.

The software NanoPlan simulates temperatures in the treatment area based on the amount and location of the instilled nanoparticle depots. Regulation and adjustment of this system is possible due to real time temperature measurement during treatment. Thereby it is ensured to achieve therapeutic temperatures in the tumour while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.

NanoTherm remains at the instillation site allowing for multiple treatments, and the therapy can be integrated into multimodal therapy plans.

Bildunterteilungen The NanoTherm® Therapy

Step 1: NanoTherm® nanoparticles are injected into the tumour in a procedure comparable to a biopsy. Due to their coating, the nanoparticles agglomerate following injection and remain in place.

Step 2: NanoPlan® simulates the temperature distribution in the treatment area in dependence of the magentic field strength.

Brain tumours (Glioblastoma) NanoTherm therapy is certified in the EU for the treatment of brain tumours based on safety and efficacy data from an uncontrolled clinical trial in glioblastoma, which enrolled 66 patients. So far, a commercial treatment with the NanoTherm therapy is available in Germany. Furthermore, MagForce is conducting a multi-centre, randomised, controlled clinical investigation to investigate safety and efficacy of NanoTherm therapy ± hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFSRT) versus HFSRT alone in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

Additional tumor indications NanoTherm therapy has therapeutic potential for treatment of various solid tumour indications, which was shown in a number of feasibility clinical studies. The next indication in MagForce development focuses is prostate cancer; a clinical trial in prostate cancer patients is under preparation.

Step 3: The patient is treated in the NanoActivator® which generates magnetic fields thereby heating the particles.

OHST – your partner for joint implants and surgical instruments made in Germany Founded by toolmaker Willi Ohst in Rathenow in 1937, OHST Medizintechnik AG is celebrating over 80 years of tradition as a family business in 2017. The business is still entirely family-owned today. The company originally made machine tools for the locally-based optics industry. In 1985, it developed the first hip cup together with the Charité University Hospital in Berlin and specialised in the manufacture of joint implants. From 1990 onwards, medical devices became the core business.

In the years that followed, the business expanded, with a strong focus on the development, production, and packaging of joint implants and surgical instruments.

The Ohst family invests in state-of-the-art technology on an ongoing basis. Today, the great-grandchildren of the company’s founder manage the successful mediumsized business, which employs around 160 members of staff.

What we do: joint implants & instruments packaged, labelled & sterilized We manufacture prosthetic joints in all sizes and quantities for all joints in the human body, from the cervical spine, the hip, and the knee joint, to the little toe. As one of the very first companies in this sector, OHST AG had already obtained ISO 9001/EN46001 certification in 1995.

Today, the company holds ISO 13485 certification.

We have also applied our comprehensive knowledge in the endoprosthetic field to develop our own OEM product range: customer-oriented implant systems for hip & knee joints and the corresponding surgical instruments for a dependable supply of standard products.

These systems can be used to complete our customers’ portfolio without the need for an own investment in the development process.

The range includes top quality generic products at attractive prices and in a wide range of sizes, all ready for sale. Over many decades of use, the implants have been

Ohst medizintechnik

shown to be safe. We also supply the corresponding surgical instruments. These give the surgeon the precision which turns an optimum implant into a successful solution for the patient. All components are supplied in sterile packaging and labelled for immediate use in the operating room.

Our customers today are leading manufacturers and distributors all over the world who sell the implants and instruments to hospitals or doctors.

How we work Transparency and clear communications within the company are the roots of our success. We supply all our services from under one roof with clear coordination: this generates a high level of commitment from our side, avoids costly misunderstandings, speeds up agreement and approval processes – and, finally, saves time and money for our customers. Our transparent structures and clear agreements help us to implement your orders with clarity from start to finish, and therefore as quickly as possible.

Work with us!

Transparency and quality, flexibility, and reliability are the basis for successful cooperation. Our focus is on continuity and experience: we have been a family company for over 80 years – and this is exactly how we wish to continue. We value and guarantee tradition – the good education and training of our staff – and do business based on long-term, trusting partnerships.

Added safety: our electronics in the health sector For us, maximum safety is a given when it comes to electronic applications. Safety is always a priority, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely vital in the medical technology sector.

Electronics in medical technology must be one hundred percent reliable while possessing many other particular qualities. For many applications the electronic components must be highly miniaturised as well as easy to clean and sterilise.

In addition to a complete range of production possibilities under one and the same roof, we specialise in the protection of electronics (e.g. through fluoropolymer coating, direct overmold with thermoplastics, hotmelt and duroplast, and electronics on ceramics or glass).

Turck duotec has recently offered direct overmold with an autoclavable material through which electronic subassemblies can be effectively protected against unintended impacts such as steam, moisture, and chemical detergents. The housings are custom-made and adapted to the respective application. Thanks to the fact that these housings are not only reusable but also less expensive than those produced by previous techniques for making electronics autoclavable (titanium/PEEK/ glass housings), Turck duotec products offer significant cost savings as well.

wissner-bosserhoff – your strong partner wissner-bosserhoff GmbH, based in Wickede (Ruhr) in Germany, is a leading provider of innovative, high-quality beds and furnishing solutions for hospitals, nursing homes, and homes for the elderly. The organic growth of the group is ensured by a consistent combination of technology and design competence in the customerdriven development of new products and the use of efficient production and procurement processes. wissner-bosserhoff GmbH is part of the LINET Group SE, with over 1,300 employees. In the fiscal year 2015/ 2016, it achieved a gross revenue of close to EUR 230 million, producing about 90,000 high-quality nursing home and hospital beds and selling them to more than 100 countries worldwide.

The Wickede-based company is a strong partner to its customers and helps them choose the perfect product mix. Before the purchase, customers can get a comprehensive requirement analysis to see exactly which products are really needed. Moreover, the sustainable hygiene and service packages are tailored to the individual needs of the client.

image 3-w – the washable hospital bed The image 3-w has been specially developed for effective cleaning in washing facilities and decontamination centres. Thanks to intelligent product design, the hygiene requirements in hospital routines can be sustainably improved and simplified. The clean design of the undercarriage and bed, which is free from troughs and dips, makes optimal drying possible after cleaning and disinfection.

Apart from optimal washability, a great deal of focus has been placed on aspects such as fall prevention and mobilisation support. Innovative, successful solutions from the image 3 universal hospital bed were adopted for the image 3-w, including the patented SafeFree ® side guards that have been tried and tested on over

Wissner-bosserhoff

500,000 beds or the reliable 3-stop strategy, with which the height of the bed can be adjusted to 28, 42 and 80 cm. The central fifth transport castor is particularly user-friendly and time-saving; it not only makes it significantly easier to manouevre beds in small patient rooms, but also means that a single person can easily transport the bed to the bed centre or the operating room. This year, the washable hospital bed received no fewer than three design awards.

sentida 7-i – the intelligent nursing home bed The low nursing bed sentida 7-i is equipped with extensive technical features. It also sets new standards in electronic and sensor intelligence that had previously been available only for hospital beds.

In the development phase, the focus was on three main aspects: safety, mobilisation, and professional nursing care. That is why the bed is equipped with the complete fall prevention package.

An intelligent bed exit sensor system that can be connected to the call system in the building is included.

The system is compatible with all standard nurse call systems.

Thanks to the sensor technology, staff can check whether or not the resident is in the bed. Additionally, you can use the sensor technology to monitor the locking system of the side guards and the brakes, which are vital for guaranteeing the resident’s safety. Another safety factor is the intelligent underbed light, which offers independent residents orientation at night. This way, this system can also contribute to the reduction of freedom-depriving measures. With the integrated weighing system with memory function, staff can monitor the resident’s weight in bed without having to mobilise him or her.
