Medica 2007

Düsseldorf, 14-17 November 2007

As every year, Dornier MedTech did not miss out to participate in the world´s largest trade show for medical goods and equipment, Medica.  Despite a national railway strike in Germany,  the event attracted 137,000 trade visitors from around 100 countries.  The exhibits at the Dornier booth demonstrated Dornier´s Workstation Concept in Urology, which was well-perceived by our existing and prospective international distributors and partners as well as medical staff. A particular highlight was the first-time presentation of AR2, a new orthopedic shock wave device that will be available to the market in spring 2008.  With AR2, Dornier MedTech continues to take its expertise of shockwave technology in orthopaedic for treatment of a wide range of indications.

100th Congress of the Russian Society of Urology

Moscow, 6 - 8 November 2007

 

The Russian Society of Urology hosted their 100th congress this year in the building of the Academy of Science in Moscow.  Apart from taking part  in the industrial show, two special events highlighted Dornier MedTech´s participation in the congress this year.  Dornier was happy to present the Wolfgang Hepp Prize to Professor Lopatkin, President of the Russian Society of Urology.  The Hepp Price is an annual award sponsored by Dornier Med Tech, which has been presented to Professor Lopatkin in recognition of his achievements for urology, and lithotripsy in particular, in Russia.  In order to celebrate this tribute in an appropriate setting, Dornier invited the country´s leading urologists to a festive reception in honor of Professor Lopatkin (center).

Dornier also had the pleasure to be distinguished as a company making a difference to Urology in Russia.  We were proud to receive a certificate acknowledging Dornier MedTech´s contribution to urology, issued by the Russian Society of Urology, and accepted by Thomas Riha, Director of Dornier´s Moscow office on behalf of the company.  This is the first time a medical company has been assigned a reward by the Society for their contributions.  Dornier is actively participating in the Russian urology community since 1986.  Our clients in Russia are served by the Dornier MedTech office in Moscow.

DGU 2007

59th Congress of the German Society of Urology

Berlin, 26 – 29 September 2007

This year´s motto of Dornier´s participation in the DGU was “Parthership in Urology”  to celebrate our new cooperation with Gyrus ACMI in Germany.  With a  distribution agreement made in April this year, Dornier MedTech Europe has been granted the exclusive right to distribute Gyrus ACMI endo-urology products in Germany. So for the first time, DGU visitors not only had a chance to catch up with the newest developments at Dornier, but were also invited to have a look at Gyrus ACMI´s endoscopy products and PK SuperPulse Plasmakinetic resection technology that now round up Dornier´s Urology portfolio.

 

 

As one highlight, visitors had the opportunity to play with Gyrus ACMI´s digital ureterosrenoscope DUR-D and even test its laser protection technology. When used with the Dornier lithotripsy laser Medilas H20, the endoscope detects when the laser fiber is inside the shaft and the laser is automatically interrupted to protect the DUR-D from laser damage. As the DUR-D is the world´s first chip-on-the-tip ureterorenoscope, we were very proud to display this novelty at our booth, and by means of the scope protection system in combination with the Dornier Medilas H20, demonstrate innovation in Urology fostered by this strong partnership.
