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.

First Aid is mostly performed by amateurs. In an emergency situation it is not always easy to keep a cool head and do the right thing. Therefore, it is even more important that appropriate first aid material is handy. The first aid kit in the car, the well equipped house pharmacy, a small first aid kit for travel, hiking or playing sports can suddenly become very important.

Therapeutic bandages have a wide field of application: Immobilising bandages are indicated for the traditional treatment of fractures and to set certain body parts at rest. Compressing bandages are the basic treatment of chronic venous insufficiency including venous leg ulcers. As so called "functional" bandages that compress, support and relieve therapeutic bandages are often the therapy of choice in the case of injuries of the musclo-skeletal system.

More safety in the operating room - this is the goal pursued by HARTMANN with its products for the operating room. Here safety mainly means the prevention of contamination using suitable drapes and gowns and the further development of dressing materials. Disinfectants for hands, instruments and surfaces also contribute to ensure complete asepsis and antisepsis in the operating room.

Who doesn't want to stay fit and active until old age? The increasing role of preventive health care shows, that people are aware of and want to avoid complications and long-term consequences. Therefore the regular monitoring of measured body values is becoming more and more important. That's why we naturally reach for the fever thermometer when we are not feeling well because of a cold, that to say when we are suffering from symptoms of a cold. Regarding hypertension this is different. Hypertension can be seen as an "asymptomatic" desease because the consequences can physically not be perceived. As a result, it is important to recognize hypertension in an early stage, start the right therapy and control the blood pressure on a regularly basis. If you want to improve your personal health care, our diagnostic products help to control the important body values comfortably and reliably.

An ostomy is a surgically created opening connecting an internal organ to the surface of the body. The opening on a person's abdomen is called a stoma. Different kinds of stomas are named for the organ involved. The most common types of ostomies in intestinal surgery are an "ileostomy" (connecting the ileal part of the small intestine to the abdominal wall) and a "colostomy" (connecting the colon, or, large intestine to the abdominal wall). A stoma may be temporary or permanent. A temporary stoma may be required if the intestinal tract can't be properly prepared for surgery because of blockage by disease or scar tissue. A temporary stoma may also be created to allow inflammation or an operative site to heal without contamination by stool. Temporary stoma can usually be reversed with minimal or no loss of intestinal function. A permanent stoma may be required when disease, or its treatment, impairs normal intestinal function, or when the muscles that control elimination do not work properly or require removal. The most common causes of these conditions are low rectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease.
