For many years we have focused on three surgical specialties: “Cardio”, “Neuro” and “Powered”

-surgery. Our main focus has been on “Cardio”. Here we manufacture and deliver tools for Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular surgery. In the field of “Neu-ro” we particularly focus on tools for spinal surgery. The field “Powered” stands for diathermy units, surgical motors, illumination systems, and docu-mentation systems. In all three fields we want to offer our customers a complete product range and best possible service. We believe this philosophy will lead to a continued growth and business suc-cess for our company.

As a partner for leading physicians in their special-ties, we are at the forefront of the development of innovative products and process solutions for by-pass surgery, correction of congenital heart de-fects and in the treatment of cardiac defects in the field „Cardio“. In the field of “Neuro” our focus is on tissue-sparing and minimally invasive proce-dures, carried out to restore or maintain the func-tion of the vertebral column. All our products are clearly described and illus-trated in well-structured sales documents and on our website.

Perfect products guarantee the best results.Maximizing the user benefits is our main goal.

Our company is known for innovation, may it be a completely new design or the continuous improve-ment and optimization of existing products and processes. The continuous quest of maximizing the user benefit and a constant improvement in service and product quality is for us a daily challenge. Each innovation always starts with attentive listening and a common desire for achieving perfection. The subsequent developments require creativity, experi-ence, courage, team spirit, but most importantly discipline and perseverance. Of course, these goals cannot be achieved overnight. The result is what counts. True innovation creates a maximum benefit

for the operating surgeon and of course the patient. Some examples of such innovative developments include the ValveGate™ and Mohr™ instruments for minimally invasive cardiac surgery, the Speroni™ One for All Retractor, Bugge™ Suction Handles, the Maazouzi APS™ system, the SpineGate™ Spinal endoscopy system, the CardioFrame™ DR plat-form and many others.
