Editorial

Medtech made in Germany The medical technology sector is a well-established pillar within the healthcare industry in Germany and one of the major drivers of the country’s export-driven economic growth. Although the environment will become more challenging overall, particularly where the regulatory side is concerned, German companies have shown constant growth and increasing turnover. One reason for this is that the German medical technology sector has its own combination of tradition and inventiveness, resulting in continuous development of innovative medical products and new beneficial services. Another of the sector’s drivers is its ability to cross-link with the pharma, biotech, IT and manufacturing sectors. These industries are discovering the digital opportunities of e-health, the combination of drugs with medical devices, and the many other synergies that arise when service providers and manufacturers in the life sciences offer their processes and products to all players in the healthcare sector.

Dr Boris Mannhardt CEO, BIOCOM AG

This clearly shows that the different intersections of the German healthcare industry are already closely connected. With the third edition of our “Guide to German Medtech Companies”, BIOCOM AG follows this development, highlighting the impressive diversity of the German medical technology sector. The Guide offers a broad picture of different companies – 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.

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, Forum MedTech Pharma and VDMA. 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 medical technology companies on an international level. Distribution is further supported by logistics specialist UPS. In addition, the publication is now also available for free via our BIOCOM AG app. Either as electronic version or as printed copy, it will surely become a must-have on the desk of every professional in the rapidly developing field of the German heathcare industry.

The German Medtech Industry: One Step Ahead 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 made by companies, universities as well as research institutions supply excellent innovations which play an important role in medical care. But how have industry-changing developments such as digitization, personalization and automation affected the situation?

For innovations, the path from invention to market has always been long and winding. Although these new developments hold the promise of some shortcuts, they come with their own caveats as well.

Germany – a leading business location for medical technology 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 consists of around 1,250 businesses (those with more than 20 employees each are considered) which employ around 133,000 people in Germany. In addition, there are a further 11,300 small businesses employing almost 81,000 people. Each medical technology job also guarantees 0.75 jobs in other industries. According to the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), the health sector as a whole is Germany’s top sector 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. In Germany, the total revenue of the medical technology manufacturing companies (those with more than 20 employees are considered) was in excess of €28bn in 2016, according to the official economic statistics. The export rate was around 65%. The German medtech

market is about twice the size of the French and three times the size of the British or Italian markets. Against this background, medical device companies in Germany have shown continuous growth in recent years.

Steady growth The health industry in Germany has managed to increase its share of the country’s value creation for 15 consecutive years. After growing annually by an average of 7% for the last ten years, the export volume reached €100bn in 2015 – already half the figure achieved by the German automotive sector.

Furthermore, healthcare is a sector destined for growth.

Due mainly to increasing health problems, healthcare spending by the average German has recently increased and will most likely continue to do so. Consequently, forecasts by the BMWi expect that the healthcare sector will employ almost eight million people by 2030 which equates to about one tenth of the country’s population. A detailed look at the German medtech industry reveals a significant dependence on international trade. The industry continues to show higher Guide to German Medtech Companies 2018

growth in export markets than in the domestic market.

According to the BVMed’s 2016 fall survey of 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%.

With an export rate of around 65%, the German medtech industry has great influence both within Germany and throughout the world. In Germany, the total revenue of the medical technology manufacturing companies (those with more than 20 employees are considered) was in excess of €28bn in 2016. 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 European countries and 18% go to North America and Asia respectively. By the way, 93% of all medical technology businesses have fewer than 250 employees. This shows that the medtech industry in Germany is predominantly still an SME industry.

Trained people, added value Besides a stable legal framework, unequalled eagerness to innovate, and an efficient regulatory system, Germany has another asset that should not be forgotten – its

people. The country is a world leader in the 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 programs and highly qualified teaching staff ensure an excellent university education for young talent in fields such as engineering, biotechnology, and medicine.

MDR is the talk of the town The Medical Device Regulation (MDR) came into effect in May this year. It includes changes at every stage of the CE marking process which a medical device must demonstrate before it may be sold on the market: technical documentation, development, approval, market surveillance, product identification – manufacturers and distributors must now meet new requirements everywhere. The MDR replaces a European directive with the aim of achieving more regulatory harmony across national borders but for the companies affected it also means fewer opportunities for individual solutions. For instance, it does not allow exceptions for niche applications, making it a special challenge for all those smalland medium-sized companies in the German medtech sector which address smaller patient groups with their medical products.

The new rules provide for a transitional period of three years during which certification may be acquired according to both the new and old rules. Not until 2020 will the MDR alone be valid for medical devices. In many places, however, there is still a need for adaptation with a view to national jurisprudence which must not contradict the EU regulation. For this purpose, the German Federal Ministry of Health has established the National Coordination Group on the Implementation of the MDR, or NAKI, as it is known in Germany. One of the major changes will affect the growing significance of clinical evaluation. When it comes to devices in risk class III, such as hip or knee implants, the MDR embodies much stricter rules. Experts believe that clinical trials will be unavoidable for many products and the literature route will be of almost no use.

Most of the market experts also expect there will be a consolidation of companies and products and that much longer time periods will be required for the CE marking process, up from today’s 1.5–3 years to 6–8 years. Even the notified bodies, who are overseeing the certification process on the part of manufacturers and who are supposed to monitor the implementation of the MDR in practice, are facing an impending change because a re-appointment process lasting a minimum of one year begins for them in autumn 2017.

To foster or to thwart digitalisation German industry is well-aware of a business landscape in turmoil thanks to the megatrend of digitalisation.

Germany’s activities in digital health benefit from many advantages. Firstly, there is a strong domestic mobile health market. In 2017 alone, turnover reached EUR 392 million and is expected to reach EUR 662 million in 2020.

This provides digital health companies with an attractive environment for further growth, including at international level. Secondly, digital health “Made in Germany” is based to a large extent on the country’s global leading position in all health-related industries, combining the strength of the medical technology sector with experience in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors.

Thirdly, Germany relies on a strong IT sector. With a

total turnover of more than EUR 160 billion, the domestic IT sector is among the heavyweights of German industry. This offers major opportunities for IT companies to provide digital solutions for connected services, adapted infrastructures, applications and devices in the health field. This development is further fueled by dynamic regional clusters established in and around Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne, connecting IT start-ups with health-related businesses.

Based on these advantages, large corporations together with SMEs and start-ups form a growing digital health sector in Germany, driven largely by innovation, high quality standards and a high level of data protection. Depending on the individual focus of the companies, the services offered range from video-based doctor consultations and medical records for smartphones, to diagnostic or therapeutic apps which support patients during their treatments, and preventive services. In addition, a growing number of products focus on coaching apps that help people to pursue a healthy way of life. Others target physicians, providing support in the decision-making process regarding treatment options. Furthermore, digitalisation improves data storage infrastructures and communication processes throughout the healthcare sector, helping to develop more efficient data routes within hospitals, beGuide to German Medtech Companies 2018

tween several locations, attending physicians, care and rehabilitation facilities, therapy and diagnostics providers, patients and health insurance companies.

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. Starting with a particular focus, a large number of German medtech companies have successfully managed to expand their business operations considerably.

The top four sectors in terms of value account for half the total market: 17% of production is related to dental medtech products, 16% to orthopedics 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 dynamic development that is also spurred on 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 collaboration between universi-

ties, the private sector and hospitals, German medical technology is developed directly with patients and users 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 and a wide 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.

The Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau, VDMA) is also one of the most important industry associations for the medtech sector, striving to represent the interests of a sector which is predominantly dominated by medium-sized companies. As the largest industrial association in Europe, the VDMA has a worldwide network in both mechanical engineering itself and associated industries. Within the VDMA, the Medical Technology Working Group forms a platform for all aspects of production technology in medical technology.

A focus on production technology and components for medical products In the VDMA the fusion of machine engineering and medical technology is a significant area, offering great potential for the future. The Working Group Medical Technology represents suppliers, manufacturers of production equipment, and all industry sectors active in the interdisciplinary field of the medical technology sector, all within a joint platform.

The Working Group is especially focused on pooling the heterogeneous interests of its members and providing an information platform for companies, offering the opportunity to share and access all relevant information.

With its huge network, the Working Group Medical Technology is in a position to recommend experts and to assist its members with fundamental issues. It offers market information for German and foreign markets, a comprehensive list of suppliers for the industry, activities for standardisation, and political interest representation. Regular expert meetings and working groups exchange information on various topics, including laws and regulations, production technology, components, and markets.

Another essential part of its activities is the substantive and organisational support of medical technology events through content or strategic partnerships as well as participation at national and international fairs, includig joint stands at two main fairs in the field of medical technology in Germany and support of German pavilions at fairs in China and the USA.

Assistance with research and development Medical technology is an innovative and dynamically growing sector. Around one third of its sales are generated with products that were launched on the market less than three years ago. In order to constantly renew and expand their product ranges, manufacturers and suppliers invest huge efforts in research and development. Close cooperation among everyone involved – from research and development to the supply sector and the manufacturers of medical products – is extremely important in making sure this investment pays off. To aid this cooperation, VDMA’s Working Group Medical Technology provides its members comprehensive support in developing partnerships and collaborations. For example, research institutes gain the opportunity to present their developments in medical technology to interested companies at roadshows. In addition, we regularly bring doctors and hospitals together with engineers to discuss the future challenges facing medicine and help to drive new developments forward.

Inside every supply chain is a better one.

And UPS finds it.

“Healthcare is one of our strategic imperatives. We’ve been able to leverage the strength of our global network to create efficient supply chains that meet the exacting requirements our healthcare and life science customers need.”

David Abney, Chief Executive Officer UPS is on a mission to improve healthcare supply chain logistics. As a result, UPS has created a worldwide team of healthcare logistics experts. In collaboration with teams of healthcare customers, the experts of UPS identify opportunities to increase efficiencies in companies’ supply chains and implement strategic solutions.

Everything is in position – the UPS network, customs brokerage, trade management services, healthcarecompliant facilities, and quality and regulatory experts.

In fact, UPS handles some of the largest and most complex healthcare supply chains for leading global manufacturers. UPS is ready, so healthcare customers and patients won’t be kept waiting.

A changing marketplace By 2050 the world’s population is projected to reach 10 billion. The global population is not only growing, but also ageing –which means that more money will be spent on healthcare. As more people become patients, healthcare products will need to get to more places

even faster than before. This is what makes the vast UPS infrastructure so important. It’s an instant solution. Healthcare companies will be able to invest less in personnel, distribution systems, and facilities.

UPS gives you the flexibility and agility to meet the demands of a changing marketplace, no matter how complex and varied. The world’s largest integrated, multimodal delivery network puts the capabilities of the UPS teams everywhere the product is, and wherever it needs to be.

Tight regulations Compliance with healthcare regulations can be daunting. A healthcare company faces the tightest and most complex regulatory environment of any industry. And not without reason – it’s all about protecting the patient. But to the advantage of healthcare companies, UPS knows the global, regional, and local rules and regulations. In fact, the UPS knowledge of this area is so respected,

Exclusive logistic partner

that some countries have consulted UPS whilst developing their own regulations. Who’s more qualified to help healthcare companies follow the rules than a partner who has experience making them? The integrity and security of the individual product are under control.

Some 25% of healthcare shipments are temperaturesensitive. With the rise of biologics and temperaturesensitive products, UPS has invested in a global network of warehouses, systems, and personnel to help ensure their safe delivery. The highly-trained experts plan and implement protocols at every level and every stage of the supply chain and proactively execute back-up plans if necessary.

Our strategically located healthcare distribution centres are complete with temperature and humidity controls.

Security protocols run the gamut, from documented entries and exits, to vaults and cages. Plus, with UPS

Proactive Response® Secure — a one-of-a-kind solution from UPS and UPS Capital® that combines transportation, predictive monitoring, intervention, and insurance coverage for most time- and temperature-sensitive shipments — nothing has been left to chance.

It’s a patient, not a package Every member of the UPS healthcare team understands how important this work is. Better healthcare logistics and stronger networks ultimately lead to better patient outcomes. Getting products to market swiftly, safely, and securely is vital to the well-being of a growing global population. So why go it alone? Turn to the experience, expertise, and networks of UPS.

Superior quality and reliable high performance Our approach to quality assurance is rigorous: we continually audit all facets of our business to ensure powerful performance, increase efficiency, and reduce costs for our customers. We are compliant with all major quality standards, including EN ISO 13485:2017 (in 2018), ISO 9001:2015, CE, RoHS, and more.

To ensure consistently high product quality, we employ several quality inspection procedures during manufacturing. Every Basler camera is subjected to exhaustive optical and mechanical tests before leaving the factory.

Regardless of what technology or camera model you choose, you can be assured of consistent performance.

It’s time for CMOS Since the world-leading manufacturer of CCD sensors decided in 2015 to stop producing and investing in this technology, no major new inventions or developments have been made to expand CCD technology. CMOS technology, on the other hand, has experienced heavy investment. Now it can match the high performance of CCD sensors and delivers even better image quality at much lower costs.

In addition to the high performance of CMOS sensors, the limited availability of CCD sensors is pushing this technology shift forward quickly, as cameras with CCD sensors will shortly be discontinued.

With almost 30 years of experience in image technology, Basler is the world’s largest producer of industrial digital cameras. With our broad portfolio and in-depth understanding of sensor technology, we will guide you through the transition process and find the most suitable CMOS cameras for your application.

Counting in microlitres?

With Bürkert, it’s surprisingly simple.

Even in the very little things we do, we demonstrate true greatness. Bürkert develops individual system solutions in the Micro segment which combine maximum precision and minimum effort in minimum space. Especially for applications where every drop counts.

Whether for applications in clinical diagnostics, DNA synthesis, medical technology, analytical equipment, or in high-throughput laboratory automation – Bürkert system solutions demonstrate their effectiveness whenever the dosing of small amounts of liquid requires high precision. Microfluidics is our world. Regardless of whether you work with aggressive solvents, reagents, or neutral fluids – you can count on our precision.

WhisperValve micro valve: extremely small – but not in performance.

In medical facilities, repetitive noises often disrupt the quiet atmosphere necessary for recovery. The clicking of valves in a dialysis unit is one example. In response to this challenge, the development engineers at Bürkert developed the WhisperValve, which functions without the typical mechanical clicking. Whether in dialysis or respiration units, the new WhisperValve series is optimally equipped for use in medical technology. Reliable media separation, hygienically sound materials, and virtually silent operation are the most important advantages of the micro valve.

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.

Member of

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.

High quality marks for reliable product traceability Marking and engraving on parts and products is essential and ubiquitous in nearly all industries. For medical products, the application of high quality marks is of major importance. For traceability and patient safety reasons, direct part marking is even regulated by law.

The use of signs and logos, Datamatrix, UDI and other codes or serial numbers directly on products contributes to an economic streamlining of production processes as well as in daily hospital routines. Above all, high marking quality on products such as surgical instruments or implants is fundamental for patients’ safety as it enables continuous traceability from manufacturer to patient.

Banding marks on hypodermic needles, micro codes on tiny pedicle screws, UDIs on implants, hygienic marks on sensitive plastic material, or robust marks on metals: direct part marking (DPM) on medical devices must be able to endure all kinds of strain, such as multiple cleaning, sterilization, and repeated use. Laser marking has proven to be the most reliable technique to create biocompatible and hygienic marks.

UDI – increasing legal and formal requirements Marking requirements for UDI (Unique Device Identification) are becoming increasingly complex. By 2022, all manufacturers of medical devices will have to comply with the prevailing UDI regulations, from the FDA on US markets and the MDR in Europe. The format of the UDI codes must conform to given standards, consisting of a 2D-Code and a human-readable line of numbers and characters.

UDI codes must be machine readable in order to be obtained directly from the product and transferred further into various documentation systems. To fulfil all requirements, marks must provide long-term legibility throughout the entire product life cycle. Laser marking is most suitable for direct part marking of metals such as titanium or various plastics.

FOBA

Marking and engraving experience since 1969 With decades of experience, FOBA is among the international market and technology leaders in manufacturing and supplying innovative laser systems for marking and engraving. FOBA offers OEM laser markers, laser marking workstations, and high-precision laser engraving machines, with both standard and customer-specific solutions for marking all kinds of metal, plastics, and other materials.

Founded as a mould construction and engraving plant in 1969, FOBA established its first laser technology division in 1991. Since 2009, when FOBA merged with Alltec GmbH, the brand name FOBA has become a strong international distribution and service label. With its headquarters near LĂźbeck/Germany, FOBA belongs to the US-based Danaher Corp.

A safe and economic vision-based marking process Manufacturers benefit from FOBA’s camera-based marking system, which verifies parts and marking contents before, during, and after marking. As the marking takes place at the end of the production cycle, scrap must be kept to a minimum and repeatable results and process stability are imperative. Utilising the FOBA approach, scrap due to marking errors can be reduced by up to 80 per cent. High marking quality, increased productivity, flexible use for small series and changing products, as well as quick integration into production lines and manufacturing systems are guaranteed.

FOBA’s flexible vision-assisted medical device marking solutions help solve the current challenges of medical device manufacturers. Our experienced application engineers are specialised in achieving excellent marking results in UDI marking.

Patient simulators and NIBP testers With a patient monitor, the most important vital data of the patient can be checked. Medical monitors are used in intensive care or emergency rescue service, for example, as part of patient monitoring. To ensure function and display accuracy, vital signs are provided by our patient simulators. In addition to ECG, respiration, temperature, SpO2, and invasive and non-invasive blood pressure, various arrhythmias can be simulated.

Light measurement systems Where lamps, displays, and projectors are concerned, illuminance or luminance can be used as an absolute or relative measured quantity for the evaluation of quality.

Our testers are used for checking displays in primary diagnostics or the ambient conditions in X-ray reading rooms.

Calibration of measuring instruments The Group maintains its own DakkS accredited calibration center, which performs DakkS, ISO, and factory calibrations for virtually all electrical measurements.

Calibration of measuring instruments on a regular basis is required when they are used for quality-relevant measurements.

Adjustment involves the correction or balancing of a measuring instrument in order to eliminate systematic measurement deviation. The measured value obtained from a measuring instrument is thus adjusted to match the known value of the test standard under specified reference conditions.

Retraceability of a calibration procedure means that the calibration sequence is reproducibly documented from the individual device under test all the way up to the national standard for the respective measured quantity.

Leader in medical robotics For over 100 years KUKA has stood for customer service, added value, innovation, and quality. As one of the world’s leading suppliers of intelligent automation solutions, we offer everything from a single source: from components, to cells, to fully automated systems. Building on KUKA’s experience and innovation, our Medical Robotics Team precisely adapts robot systems to meet the emerging requirements of the medical sector, so that the robotic component can be integrated by the medical device manufacturer. Modern medicine has an increasing need for improvement in the quality of diagnosis, therapy, and patient care. KUKA, a leader in the use of robots in medical technology, is positioned to assist in resolving these modern medical challenges.

ARTIS pheno: x-ray imaging directly in the operating room Medical robot applications that require high payload capacity with precision rely on KUKA’s KR QUANTEC Robot. The KR QUANTEC encompasses special mechanical systems which enhance its precision while carrying a high payload, making it the core robotic component of the Siemens ARTIS pheno X-ray system. The robot automatically moves an X-ray C-arm around the patient, thereby permitting the generation of CT-style 3D images directly in the operating room, without the need to relocate the patient. The ARTIS pheno is used in operating rooms around the world for minimally invasive surgery, interventional radiology, and cardiology.

CyberKnife: precise and careful

Member of

A partnership between KUKA and the medical product manufacturer Accuray produced the first commercially available robot-guided radiation surgery system: the CyberKnife. Instead of a scalpel, an X-ray beam is used, and is guided around the patient by KUKA’s KR QANTEC robotic arm. The precise movement of the KR QUANTEC focuses the radiation dose directly on the tumour. An imaging system detects the position of the tumour and signals any movement – such as motion due to breathing – to the robot. If there is any movement the CyberKnife

compensates for these motions. The robot is thus able to hit tumours with pinpoint accuracy, leaving healthy tissue undamaged.

LBR Med: human and robot working “hand in hand” The ultimate robotic innovation for the medical sector is the LBR Med – a lightweight robot from KUKA that can be easily used as a component of an innovative medical solution. With its sensitivity, complex sensor systems, and responsiveness, the integrated LBR Med is able to work “hand in hand” with the therapist or medical specialist. For example, the LBR Med can assist surgeons in the operating room by providing precise positioning.

Thanks to its special surface coating, it is suited to the hygiene requirements in hospitals. The LBR Med thus meets the requirements not only for safe human-robot collaboration – but also for its tasks in clinical operating room applications.

Research means progress KUKA partners with universities, research institutes, technology providers, system integrators and end users to develop innovative, robotic solutions for various application domains. Especially in the medical field, KUKA’s partner network helps to ensure that KUKA’s medical robotic components are innovations on the cutting edge.

An example of this is KUKA being a part of the European research project MURAB*. KUKA is working on improving diagnosis in the fields of breast cancer and muscle diseases. If the results of breast cancer screening indicate an abnormality, a biopsy is taken of the suspicious tissue for closer examination. For this, it is vital that the suspicious tissue is targeted precisely. A combination of MRI imaging and ultrasound permits the exact target to be located. The KUKA robot guides the ultrasound probe and aligns the biopsy needle with the lesion so that the doctor can insert the needle with the greatest precision. * This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 688188

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.

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 4,600 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 589.7 million euros in 2016. 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.

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

Member of

Enhancing Health

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.

magforce

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.

Safety does not allow for compromises mayr ® is an internationally-leading company for mechanical power transmission. Every day, clutches, couplings, and brakes made in the Allgäu region safeguard machine movements worldwide. This task does not permit compromises on quality – especially in medical engineering, because the safety of patients has utmost priority at all times.

Whether in x-ray devices, surgical microscopes, electric wheelchairs, or in surgery-supporting robots – mayr ® safety brakes have a wide field of application in medical engineering. High-tech devices often require individual brake solutions. For this purpose, mayr ® power transmission provides a wide portfolio of application-optimised safety brakes based on market-tested series products. These fulfil individual customer wishes and distinguish themselves by the same quality, technical maturity, and safety as standard products. For example, during surgery the robot arm must not under any circumstances wobble or sink. The brakes must hold determined positions accurately and backlash-free, and simultaneously operate extremely quietly. This task does not allow for concessions in quality, because safety does not allow for compromises.

Short switching times and high performance density Safety brakes by mayr ® power transmission are tailormade to the requirements of medical engineering. They ensure reliable, constant holding torques throughout their entire service life and convince by extremely short switching times and high performance density despite low energy consumption. Furthermore, a long service life, minimal maintenance, and simple and quick installation make these brakes a particularly cost-effective solution. Depending on the requirements, the brakes are equipped with integrated noise damping. Every individual safety brake which leaves the mayr ® power transmission works must pass a 100% inspection after complete assembly and adjustment. All measurement values determined are recorded with the corresponding serial number of the brakes in an electronic database.

mayr

This guarantees 100% traceability. These comprehensive tests and checks are a central component of the mayr ® understanding of reliability and quality. They ensure that the values stated in the catalogue can also be reliably achieved and that the brakes function under all ambient conditions.

Reliable partner since 1897 Due to its quality standards, mayr® power transmission has gained the trust of many leading industrial companies as a reliable partner worldwide. Quality is not just theory at mayr® power transmission, but also an integral component of our corporate culture, which the company has incorporated in all processes, products, and structures since it was founded in 1897. The guiding principles of our renowned family-run company are safety, reliability, and innovation – not only in Mauerstetten, the German company headquarters, but also in all international locations. mayr ® power transmission operates two further production sites in Poland and China, and is globally represented with sales subsidiaries in the USA, France, Great Britain, Italy, Singapore and Switzerland, and additionally with over 30 further national offices.

SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Wet chemical and vacuum deposition for medical technology SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES has been building machinery for the semiconductor, solar, optical disc as well as medical device areas for 20 years, and in each case, has satisfied the high-quality requirements of the industry.

For medical technology, SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES offers machine technology for wet-chemical processes, coating technology processes, as well as injection moulding of small plastic parts where high precision and extremely high quality are required. A common trait of all processes is the basic principle of efficient, low-resource production technology.

The company gears its processes to the sophisticated characteristics and functionality expected in medical technology and therefore to the quality of the products and the production and processing methods required.

This involves adopting the GMP (“good manufacturing practice”) principles as well as the GAMP (“good automated manufacturing practice”) guidelines that apply in regulated industries for the validation of computer-based systems. The corresponding quality management system has been adopted at SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES. This serves to guarantee product quality and meet the binding marketing requirements of health agencies, in particular the rules of the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) (FDA/21 CFR).

Wet processing systems Batch & inline systems as well as customised solutions SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES delivers wet chemical equipment for different applications and industry segments. The spectrum ranges from manually loaded wet chemical tools for cleaning applications to fully automated platforms for cleaning, conditioning, coating, or etching for high-volume mass production in demanding technologies.

STEINBEIS CENTER FOR SURFACE AND MATERIAL ANALYSIS

Surface analysis The analysis of a surface is important for characterising its structure and appearance. The surface of medical technology products is decisive for their function in tribological contact. Due to our comprehensive equipment we are able to measure all kinds of surfaces and material.

This can be the catheter wire, the surface of a dental implant, or the sliding surfaces in an artificial joint.

Coating measurement 285 6(59,&(Ě­

ANALYTICS AND MEASURING TECHNOLOGY

When using coated components, the properties of the coating are important and these must be determined by analysis. We can carry out coating thickness measurements for different types of coatings and thus examine the thinnest layers, hard material layers and paint layers. We can also determine layer thicknesses where the usual analytical methods fail. The Steinbeis Transfer Center Tribology completes the analysis by measuring the coating adhesion strength and the hardness.

Quality and material analysis We examine medical technology components using a scanning electron microscope, determine microstructure densities, and carry out hardness tests. The hardness and mechanical properties of the material can also be determined in micro areas. For lubricated tribological systems in medical technology, the surface tension of solids plays an important role, which can be also measured in our center.

Know-how

We have extensive experience in optimizing tribological systems. What must the surface structure look like?

What is the optimum combination of materials? What effects does friction and wear have? We solve wear problems on the basis of know-how and through the use of comprehensive analysis, which we also offer as individual analyses.

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 it’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.

Product portfolio Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals and can be found in various organs, e.g. tendons, cartilage, and dermis. As a major structural component, collagen type I forms a scaffold to support cell attachment and function as well as organ integrity.

What sets our collagen products apart is the focus on the purification of the insoluble, fibrous portion.

With our proprietary technology we specialise in the preparation of long, intact, and ultrapure collagen type I fibres, preserving their natural structure. From this we manufacture highly biocompatible scaffolds with unique properties: ·· pure collagen membranes as novel tools for implantation. The dense network of fibres confers exceptional strength to the material: · Collagen Cell Carrier ® membranes with very good performance in tissue engineering. Thin (20 µm), elastic, yet strong and suturable, they are an ideal supportive matrix to transfer and fix therapeutic cell layers directly to host tissue. · membranes with customisable properties for tissue covering, reinforcement, regeneration, etc. (e.g. wounds, hernia) ·· a smooth fibrous mass (Viscolma®) with concentrations of up to 15% of collagen, suitable e.g. for biocompatible coating or functionalisation of medical devices or the generation of 3D scaffolds.

viscofan

We also provide soluble collagen type I suitable for the coating of cell culture vessels, cell-based assays, and 3D cell culture models in hydrogels.

Currently, we offer our collagen products for research purposes. In 2018 our membranes and mass will be available in medical grade quality, manufactured in our GMP-compliant production unit in Weinheim.

In 2017, we also established a premium collagen hydrolysate to supply the health food market. COLLinstantÂŽ is a highly soluble collagen peptide powder of neutral taste and odour, intended to support skin and joint health. We provide COLLinstantÂŽ as an ingredient to manufacturers of nutraceutical products.
