About concentration, precision and presence. www.medwork.com
#concentration Welcome to medwork We develop and manufacture instruments for therapeutic endoscopy. Our products are used to heal patients as well as to save lives. That s why the production of these instruments just like their usage requires concentration on the task at hand, a precision-based approach to our work, and a level of presence without which successful interventions would not be possible. 2
#precision #presence Just like a truly accomplished orchestra, all instruments must be perfectly in tune with one another. Both during production at our facilities and during subsequent use in your endoscopic procedures. 3
#formindfulpeople We do one thing and we do it well Because our focus is 100% on what we do best, our customers can rely on us to provide outstanding quality and safety. Our products are manufactured at the heart of Europe, in the German Medical Valley. For the most part, the products in our portfolio are not only Made in Germany but actually german made. Everything we do, we do for everybody who, like us, is focused on what really matters: medwork - for mindful people 4
Take our CrossSnare, for example. Thanks to decades of experience in polypectomy snares, we have not only managed to produce the first hybrid snare for cold and hot resection, but according to many customers, the best one, too. 5
#tested Made in Germany sounds good, german made is good Our own criteria are considerably stricter than those stipulated by Made in Germany. That s why our products are not tested and packaged in Germany just to meet the guidelines, but actually produced here by highly-skilled trade professionals. In doing so, we combine traditional craftsmanship with the most innovative high-end technology. We call it german made. 6
#germanmade Our twist n CATCH stone retrieval baskets were developed in this way at our company headquarters in Höchstadt/Aisch, where they are naturally also manufactured in their entirety. 7
#feeling Think with your hands There is so much love and feeling in our products that we could write novels about it. That s because they are not only manufactured using machines, but also by hand with incredible precision. With our innovations, we are constantly expanding the spectrum of therapeutic endoscopy. As a result, medwork products are genuine bestsellers, convincing our customers around the world since 1998. 8
#craftsmanship Design is functionality expressed in its most aesthetic form. This is valued by our customers and even has design experts convinced. So it s no surprise that our PureWhite range has been honoured with the red dot award as well as the if Product Design Award. 9
A medium-sized business We are the only manufacturer of endoscopic instruments that combines the dynamic approach of a medium-sized business with the stable structures and focus on commercial success of a large corporation. Although they might at first appear to be polar opposites, these ideas have been the foundation of our success for many years. The close proximity of our development, production and sales departments also allows us to respond rapidly to the needs of our customers. Worldwide. Every time. 10
#unite Our AXS_tome papillotome, for example, demonstrates how we integrate opposing concepts for the benefit of our users. Here, years of craftsmanship and highly-skilled trade experience are combined with the latest manufacturing technologies. This result is quality products that are admired throughout the world. 11
#allrounder Our employees cannot do everything, but they can learn anything. Qualified and motivated employees are the basis for our success. That is why we offer each individual member of staff exciting career prospects by acknowledging their contribution, encouraging their talents and offering them targeted professional training. Training is also an essential element in our company philosophy. Every year, a new batch of young recruits begins their career at medwork aiming to complete their apprenticeship in one of four different professions. 12
The components of our FLAMINGO are a well-rehearsed team. Everything is seamlessly integrated, with each individual element and every individual step perfectly adapted to one another. 13
#mindfulness #resources Sustainability...... is never rubbish for us neither with regard to the provision of raw materials nor in terms of overall energy consumption. Thanks to our production processes where the use of resources is optimised, as well as our recyclable transport packaging, we make sure to minimise our environmental impact. At our company headquarters in Höchstadt/Aisch, we use a combined heating and power generation system to keep our feet warm, and cooled absorption technology to make sure that we always keep a cool head. And in order to use daylight as efficiently as possible, the LED lighting of our work areas is controlled by an intelligent lighting system that is motion-triggered and regulated based on ambient brightness. 14
Our FROG biopsy valves are not manufactured in locations such as Asia or Eastern Europe. They are a genuinely german-made product from the metropolitan area of Nuremberg, and make an effective contribution to reducing unnecessary CO 2 emissions. 15
#responsibility There are values that don t appear on any balance sheet Our social responsibility extends far beyond our company. We have been involved for many years in a variety of social and cultural projects. We also promote sport and support charitable associations and aid organisations at a regional and international level. 16
#consistency The DissectionMaster is the multifunctional tool among ESD knives. With just a single instrument, you have everything you need for complete submucosal resection. This not only saves time, it also ensures gentle surgical intervention. 17
#global Regional roots, citizens of the world In just six words, this describes why we are continuing to expand our company headquarters in Höchstadt/Aisch and yet feel completely at home on the international endoscopy market. Thanks to our international partners, you can find our quality products from the German region of Franconia on almost all important international markets. Think global act local! 18
#together Just like its namesake, our OCTOPUS retrieval basket is represented worldwide however, it is manufactured exclusively in Höchstadt. 19
