When it comes to the welfare of the people, ideas are needed. Our ideas for the benefit of people have over a 100-year tradition in the treatment of wounds, as well as their implementation in routine medical practice. In the last decade, research has opened many new perspectives in the treatment of wounds. The usage of modern wound dressings goes far beyond the traditional functions of the cover and/or absorption of wound exudate. With modern products, therapeutic effects can be achieved based on different modes of action. They actively engage in the processes of wound healing and support the natural physiological process. Their high therapeutic benefits, especially in the treatment of poorly healing wounds, are of great importance. Negative pressure therapy is a further effective therapy method providing a wide range of uses and increasingly gaining in importance not only in hospitals but also in the out-patient sector. Thanks to our high medical competence, we are in a position to offer an innovative and easy-to-use system in this field, too, which is completing our overall product range in an excellent way. Thus, we are a competent provider of wound dressings, from the classical wound treatment to post-operative dressings, dressings and bandages for dressing retention, sets, compression bandages, hydroactive wound dressing and last but not least negative pressure wound therapy.
