Matter
From the idea to the application, we develop and produce our products according to the specifications and demands of clinical users or seek new solutions for open questions.
Vascular Catheter Production
A product field that underscores our expertise as a leading OEM supplier in Germany is the development and production of central venous catheters.
Central venous catheter
A central venous catheter (CVC) is a catheter that is advanced through a large vein close to the heart into the superior or inferior vena cava. Typically, the internal jugular vein or the subclavian vein is punctured, and a possibly multi-lumen catheter is inserted.
The placement of the CVC is usually performed when there is a need for medication administration via infusion pumps, particularly when multiple different medications need to be given. Additionally, the administration of hyperosmolar or vein-irritating solutions (potassium solutions, cytostatics, parenteral nutrition solutions) is possible through this access. The indication for placement often occurs in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit, in emergency situations, and/or with poor peripheral venous status.

Exemplary Innovation
Innovative, novel
technical
approach to heart
support
The innovative PERKAT™ right ventricular pump from NovaPump can be implanted in minutes at the beating heart via the femoral vein using Seldinger technique, facilitated by an 18F transfer system.
This ensures safe implantation and, after heart support is established, a secure explantation as well. This allows the treating physician to handle the procedure easily, reduces patient burden by avoiding surgery, and provides high heart support with a pumping capacity of over 3 liters per minute.
The pumping volume can alternatively be controlled through ECG triggering in acute patients.
Innovative, novel technical approach to heart support
The PERKAT™ RV right ventricular pump represents the only heart support system that operates percutaneously, pulsatile, and self-expanding thanks to its novel technical approach. Future plans include expanding the patented PERKAT™ technology for a bilateral, percutaneous heart support system.
The products are not yet available on the market as they are still in development.
