2 Editorial

Medtech made in Germany

The medical technology sector is a well-established pillar within the healthcare industry in Germany and one of the major drivers of the country’s export-driven economic growth. This also puts German companies in a good position to go through a period of change due to more challenging requirements on the regulatory side. Unless this situation, German companies have shown constant growth and record turnover. This year more than 32 billion euro of revenue will be generated. Among the reasons for this succes are the very German-like combination of tradition and inventiveness, focus on quality and efficient engineering know-how, resulting in continuous development of innovative medical products, new beneficial services and a strong export- oriented focus. Another of the sector’s drivers is its ability to cross-link with the Sandra Wirsching pharma, biotech, IT and manufacturing sectors. These industries are discovering the Editor-in-Chief digital opportunities of e-health, the combination of drugs with medical devices, the opportunity of artificial intelligence, machine learning, connected wearables and 3D printing. The German health related technology sectors are thus very much profiting from a close relationship between all players in the healthcare sector.

With the fifth edition of our “Guide to German Medtech Companies”, BIOCOM AG follows this development, highlighting the broad competences of the German medical technology sector. The Guide offers a diverse picture of companies – from medical device developers to manufacturers, service providers, and organisations. In addition, the most recent developments in the German medtech sector are sum- marised in the introduction. Jessica Schulze Editor The Guide to German Medtech Companies is supported by our partners Germany Trade & Invest, BVMed e.V., Medical Valley EMN e.V., Life Science Nord, Medical Mountains, SPECTARIS, Forum MedTech Pharma, IVAM, and VDMA. These national organisations and regional networks are important stakeholders, helping to establish further growth of “medtech made in Germany” by providing the right environment for traditional family-owned firms, global players, start-ups, technological forerunners, manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers.

As this book will be distributed across many international medtech events in Europe and overseas, it will definitely provide strong visibility of German medical technology companies on an international level. Distribution is further supported by logis- Marco Fegers tics specialist UPS. The publication is also available for free via our BIOCOM AG Sales & Marketing app. Either as electronic version or as printed copy, it will surely become a must- have on the desk of every professional in the German healthcare industry.

6 The German Medtech Industry: On the Cutting Edge

By combining long-standing competences in engineering, manufacturing and healthcare, German medical technology companies are pioneers in the development of new products and devices. They provide state-of- the-art products, fulfilling high quality and safety standards in accordance with international regulations. Germany is also recognised as a proven manufacturing location, with suppliers guaranteeing high-quality medical devices. Most of the German enterprises are very much export-oriented, as most of the revenue is generated in foreign countries. The high degree of innovation ‘made in Germany’ is evidenced by the fact that one third of sales are of medical products that are not even three years old. The medical industry benefits from leading research facilities in the various health and engineering disciplines, a high-level healthcare infrastructure with internationally well-known hospitals, and a high degree of manufacturing standards. But how have industry-changing developments such as digitisa- and medium-sized enterprise (SMEs) who rely to tradition affected the situation?

Frost & Sullivan anticipates an average annual not obscure the fact that MDR could soon negatively increase of 5.6 percent by 2024. With their innovative products, German manufacturers are well positioned to benefit from this development and maintain their position in the world market. Germany currently accounts for 12 percent of global medical technology exports. The industry is thus the world’s vice export champion, only the US-American manufacturers export more goods.

New MDR – big challenge for SMEs The new EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), for which the end of the transition period is scheduled for May 2020, is still one of the major topics causing tur- bulence in the German medical technology industry. One of the main reasons is the low number of notified bodies so far qualified to work under MDR and take over the certification of the medical products. With the release of the 2nd corrigendum, however, some relief could be seen, particulary in the region around Tut- tlingen. Here, lots of suppliers are manufacturing renewable surgical instruments which are among the up-classified medical class I products profiting from a longer transition period.

Tissue constructions can be produced in the shortest possible time and with individual, complex shapes. For instance, some researchers want to replace destroyed tissue with biological-functional tissue from the 3D printer. They are developing biological inks from natural materials that come very close to human ideal.

Demand for more regulation in additive manufacturing Against this backdrop, topics such as software integration, norms and standards on the regulatory level are now on the agenda of many manufacturers. At the end of June 2019, the European Parliament passed a “resolution on three-dimensional printing, a challenge in the areas of intellectual property rights and liability (2017/2007(INI))”.

More than a mark Even the most innovative medical products need to comply with official regulations in order to be made available to the market. The requirement for traceability throughout the production and supply chain, to ensure patient safety and prevent counterfeits, has increased significantly. Under the FDA (Food & Drug Administra- tion) regulation in the USA, manufacturers have been required to implement UDI (Unique Device Identification) on medical product packaging since September 2014. Manufacturers producing for the European market will face tougher regulations under the MDR (Medical

46 domino

Device Regulation): by 26 May 2020 a UDI-DI (Device Identification) code needs to be registered at the new central databank EUDAMED for every product considered to be a medical device. Depending on the product’s risk class the packaging needs to be labelled with a UDI.

What makes the difference? With a global team of life sciences sector experts we are able to provide manufacturers around the world with knowledge of legislations and support for legally compliant production. In addition, Domino creates strong partnerships with OEMs and packaging providers. Our scientific approach can provide manufacturers with a holistic view of their product manufacturing requirements for serialisation and aggregation. Domino’s range of coding equipment provides manufacturers with the right solutions for printing, from the smallest packaging unit through all following packaging levels and including direct parts marking.

Domino takes pride in developing solutions to help our customers tackle the issues they face: e.g. the requirement for sterilisation-resistant, direct coding on Tyvek led to the development of a suitable ribbon for our Ther- mal Transfer Overprinters, which is now available to all customers.

Domino’s range of coding and marking solutions offers manufacturers of medical devices the most suitable technology in order to achieve UDI compliance. We also provide validation packs, and our specialist validation team can assist your company in becoming UDI compliant.

Electromagnetic navigation devices and instruments The high performance electromagnetic surgical navigation system (EM-system) uses wired instruments with integrated sensitive micro coils which are measured with high precision in an alternating electromagnetic field. This measurement allows a precise real-time representation of the instruments relative to the patient in intra- and preoperative medical images. The EM-system has the advantage that no line of sight to an optical system is required and the surgeon can move freely in the surgical area without obstructing the measurement.

Optical navigation devices and instruments The sophisticated optical surgical navigation system measures the position and orientation of the patient and the instruments through infrared light, which is reflected from our patented and unique glass reflectors mounted on the instruments. This allows a high precision measurement and real-time representation of the instruments relative to the patient in the medical images. The optical navigation system has the advantage that active instruments such as milling machines or RF knives can be navigated without any loss of accuracy and no wiring of the instruments is needed.

Minimally invasive operations and endodontics Compact drive solutions make it possible to install state-of-the art technology in small devices that require little room, therefore providing the basis for surgical implements that can be used in patient-friendly, minimally invasive operations (Image 1). Thanks to a brush- less DC motor with a diameter of 4 mm, intracorporeal pumps which replace a heart-lung machine during the operation are so small that they can be inserted into the patient through a small incision in the groin. And lightweight, comfortable microscope glasses with automatic focus adjustment are already standard equipment for surgeons. Quiet DC microdrives are also the driving force behind new endodontics systems, which are becoming more common in dental practices, helping to make even complicated root canal treatments more bearable for the patient.

Mobile applications The small drives are also extremely suitable for mobile applications due to their low power consumption. They therefore make it possible to have compact, fully-automatic blood pressure gauges that do not place a strain on the user, even over long-term use (Image 2), and medication pumps that the patient wears directly on the body for individual active substance dosage. Scanners for measuring circulation at the hand or innovative res- pirators for patient-friendly ventilation are also typical areas of application.

Innovative prosthetics As well as for their compact design size, the drives score points because of their high-precision control, excellent EMC compatibility, and long service life with maintenance-free operation. Thanks to their versatile designs, the drives can be integrated into different devices, and customer-specific adaptations can be achieved within a short period of time, which opens up many other potential uses. In prosthetics, for example, powerful micromo- tors ensure that myoelectric hand prostheses can grip quickly and firmly and maintain the gripping force constantly while holding (Image 3). The versatile microdrives are therefore making an important contribution to the future of medical technology in many different areas.

Award-winning innovation FAULHABER has won several prestigious awards. In 2018, the company received the Factory of the Year award in the category “Excellent Small Series Assembly”. In the same year, FAULHABER was selected for the third time for its innovation success to be part of TOP100, Germany’s most innovative small and medium-sized companies. Furthermore, in 2019, Dr. Fritz Faulhaber GmbH & Co. KG made first place in the innovation ranking of the German magazine WirtschaftsWoche.

Thanks to the ultrafast laser, there are virtually no limits to creativity in the design of the hole shape. Complete- ly new applications become possible in this way.

Fine cutting When fine cutting with ultrafast lasers, the material is vaporised in the cutting slit with minimal heat input into the surrounding material. This prevents the formation of melt and produces steep, high-quality cutting edges. Straight cutting edges can be achieved by adjusting the laser beam during the machining process.

Structuring The ultrafast laser can generate 2.5-D structures in a workpiece, a process known as deep engraving. A 3D model of the structure to be generated is converted into a layered model. With the ultrafast laser, the individual layers are removed step by step to create the desired structure.

Surface functionalisation The properties of surfaces can be specifically changed by structuring with ultrafast lasers. Laser-generated structures can be used to make a steel surface water- repellent (hydrophobic). Water-repellent properties are achieved by self-organised structures in the micro- and nanometre range.

Development of ultrafast laser processes and prototyping The design of ultrafast laser processes is a demanding task that requires expert knowledge and specialised equipment. LightPulse develops processes for you to implement your application and produces prototypes that you can use to evaluate the technology. The needs and requirements of our customers are always the focus of our attention.

Vacuum deposition technology Sputtering & plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition For medical technology, SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES offers processes and equipment for coating technology (sputtering, evaporation, PECVD, CVD). A common trait of all processes is the basic principle of efficient, low- resource production technology.

Application examples for medical devices: ·· Antibacterial coatings ·· Dense barrier layers, gradient layers ·· Antireflection coatings ·· Hard coatings ·· Adhesion-promoting layers ·· Plasma functionalisation ·· Plasma cleaning, plasma sterilisation ·· Decorative coatings

A variety of deposition materials with its wide range of metals, metal alloys, ceramics, etc. is available for the respective application. Inline sputtering systems, such as the POLYCOATER, are the result of the combination of proven coating technologies, high-performance expertise, and unique experience bundled with a revolutionary concept for the application of 3-dimensional coatings onto parts. Not only decorative, but also functional layers, e.g. for the packaging of medical parts, can be applied. Possible approaches are antibacterial coatings, EMV-shielding, or electrically conductive layers. The en- vironmentally friendly, low-cost functional antibacterial coatings minimise the risk of infection by the so-called “hospital superbug” MRSA and by E. coli bacteria, as various studies have shown.

SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES pursues an integrative validation strategy and supports customers in the validation of machine technology. The corresponding quality management system has been adopted at SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES. This serves to guarantee product quality and meet the binding marketing requirements of health agencies, in particular the rules of GxP/FDA.

Made for medical: Stericlean robots Texere Biotech has recently begun production at a fully automated plant, the first of its kind in the world, using six Stäubli Stericlean robots. The company uses femoral heads and processes them into cuboid implants known as “bone allografts”. Its output is significantly higher than that of other providers who still rely on Six identical Stäubli Stericlean robots handle the implants. Shown here is the chemical treatment station. manual production methods. The result is microporous decellularised bone blocks in the standardised size of a sugar cube, which experience has shown will knit very well with another patient’s bone material without causing rejection, as they contain no stem cells.

With the capacity to process 5,000 femoral heads a year, the six identical TX60 Stericlean robots are positioned at six stations along the processing line. The first of them lifts one whole femoral head off a tray and conveys it to an image processor which assesses it for size and shape. This data is used to map out the cutting lines for the next stage, in which the second robot presents the bone material to the fully encapsulated water jet machine. In contrast to sawing or milling, this does not generate the sort of high temperatures that might destroy natural bone properties and eliminates all risks of cross-contamination between femoral heads.

Robot number three retrieves the resulting cuboid allografts and places them on a tray. The next two robots in line are responsible for handling the allografts as they undergo chemical treatment and sterilisation. At station number six, the last of the Stericlean robots inserts the individual cubes into vials. After they have been vacuum- sealed and individually labelled, the vials are stored at ambient temperature pending delivery to hospitals.

Benefits ·· Increased efficiency and overall capacity ·· Reproducible quality at the highest level ·· No contamination, including cross-contamination ·· Prevention of errors caused by manual work The entire medically certified system operates under cleanroom conditions and is housed in a 40ft module.

Surface analysis The surface is the part of a component with which it comes into contact with its surroundings or with another component. We determine the microstructures of surfaces through very precise analyses. For this purpose, high-resolution three-dimensional surface measurements with subsequent structure analyses are carried out. Scanning electron microscopy is used for imaging surface analyses with very high magnification. Further- more, we carry out friction coefficient measurements and determine the wettability of surfaces.

Wear analysis At the Steinbeis Transfer Center Tribology, wear analyses are carried out in such a way that the basic causes of friction and wear can be determined. All properties of a tribological system are analysed and evaluated. In our laboratory in Karlsruhe we have the most modern analytics for surfaces and materials at our disposal.

It goes without saying that we also carry out wear tests on components in order to determine the best material and coating combinations.

Precise threads for implants The patented hard metal whirl thread cutters in the ZECHA 462 series can be employed to achieve cylindri- cal and precisely contoured interior threads for implant posts or medical devices calling for the highest precision. The expanded geometric shaping of the section produces completely burr-free threads. The tools unite maximum accuracy in minute areas with absolute re- producibility of surface quality. The whirl thread cutters can be used on low-alloy steels, stainless steel, nonferrous heavy metals, brass, titanium, precious metals, plastic, and other nonferrous metals.

Reliable tools for the dental industry The demands made on precision and process-capability in the manufacture of denture products are continu- ally growing. Particularly difficult-to-machine materials demand high-quality milling cutters in order to implement the small and complex geometries of inlays and onlays, bridges, and crowns. ZECHA has a range of reliable diamond-coated milling cutters for the processing of zirconium oxide, cobalt chromium, plastics, and wax.

Competency in bone plate manufacture The machining of titanium, stainless steel, and special materials in the field of medical technology calls for individual solutions of the highest order. It is precisely the complex manufacture of bone plate that sets a number of challenges. The use of high-quality, optimally tailored ZECHA tool solutions can easily tackle these demanding applications.

Challenge of PEEK processing The highly abrasive material PEEK is finding increasing application in medical technology. Nevertheless, its properties make it difficult to machine. The high wear of all standard tools and the high friction heat lead to a poorer surface quality of the component and an increase in burring. ZECHA has taken up this challenge and sug- gests the deployment of the IGUANA line furnished with a diamond-coated and laser-sharpened cutting edge. Virtually no tool wear has been detected during use and the tool life cycle has been considerably increased. In addition, the surface values have been improved significantly and any additional post-processing on account of burring can be dispensed with. Another advantage of the milling cutter line is its ability to be employed in wet and dry machining.
