maxon EC motorSmall yet reliable.
When it really matters.Our drives also go under the skin. They are used, for instance, in implantable miniature pumps, where they help to increase patients’ quality of life.
When a human life is at stake, nothing can be allowed to go wrong. Especially not in the case of medical devices that are implanted inside the body. Therefore brushless maxon DC motors are used, for instance, in pumps for treating ascites, to transport fluid from the abdominal cavity to the bladder.
The maxon product range is built on an extensive modular system, encompassing: brushless and brushed DC motors with the ironless maxon winding, iron-cored flat motors, planetary, spur and special gearheads, feedback devices and control electronics.
maxon motor is the world’s leading supplier of high-precision drives and systems of up to 500 watts power output. maxon motor stands for customer-specific solu tions, high-est quality, innovation and a worldwide distri-bution network. See what we can do for you: www.maxonmotor.com

Swissness committed to quality
When, in 1946, Robert Mathys, a pioneering mechanic working in a small
workshop, developed instruments from special acid-resistant stainless-
steel, he already had in mind a premium Swiss quality product. Nobody
at the time could have imagined that his chance encounter in 1958 with
young and inspired Swiss orthopaedic surgeons would, a few years later,
trigger a global revolution in fracture treatment.

5WELL CONNECTED WITH PHYSICIANSToday, Mathys focuses on the development, manu-facturing and distribution of a wide range of im-plants for hips, knees, shoulders, bone graft substi-tutes and associated instruments. The formerexchange of ideas with scientific experts has be-come the legally and financially independent RMSFoundation, (Robert Mathys Stiftung), a service lab-oratory and research institute offering advisoryand testing services to customers from all over theworld and playing an important role on an interna-tional scale. “At the RMS, under the direction of mybrother Robert Mathys, we conduct basic and ap-
plied research”, states Hugo Mathys, the dynamicChairman of the Board for the Mathys Group andone of two second generation members who joinedthe company in the 1970s. “We are co-operatingwith scientific institutions on a global scale, the RMS
giving grants to renowned universities to undertake
investigations on our behalf. It’s clear that we must
work together to move forward!”
STOP THE SHORT-TERM WAY OF THINKING!The Mathys team is fully motivated: “Since we livein a welfare state in a high-wage country, we have to
create products of the highest quality and high valu e
added along the entire value chain in order to pro-
vide new opportunities for growth and employ-
ment.” The profound changes in society and econ-omy pose a considerable challenge to the medtechbranch. People are growing older but, in contrastwith the prevailing attitude in the past, they wantto stay fit and healthy for longer. They have clearideas about what they want and place greater de-mands on their health care service providers. Hospi-tals are now seeing a new type of patient, veryyoung individuals who suffer an injury while prac-tising high-risks sports. “In earlier times, a joint replacement was expected to last about 10-20 years.
But nowadays it has to provide guaranteed high-
quality service for 30-40 years in order to deliver sig-
nificant socio-economic benefit.” That’s why there isno room for the short-term thinking that increas-
Hugo MathysChairman of
the BoardMathys Ltd,

ingly prevails in the hospital environment. “All thatmatters is next year's budget”, says Hugo Mathyswith a shake of the head. “All reflections revolvearound the question ‘Where can I find the lowest
price for a joint replacement? Which manufacturer
will give me the biggest discount?`This horse-trading
endangers product quality and means that patients
may not receive the best individual solution.” If pa-tients have to undergo follow-up operations after10-20 years instead of 30-40 years for the simplereason that the second best solution had been im-planted in an expensive surgical intervention, thisis a misjudgement from the macroeconomic pointof view. The popular saying ‘greed is good’ certainlyhas no place where human beings are involved.
Hugo Mathys is an entrepreneur with heartand soul, and with a good feeling for the needs ofthe market, and with respect to ethics. “As an engi-neer, I have to abide by the principle that each med-
ical device has to perform its function to the highest
standard”, he comments. But the responsibility restsequally on the shoulders of each physician andeveryone working in the hospital system. “No com-promises are possible when it comes to product qual-
ity!” But Mathys also has to adapt to the economicneeds of a harsh market environment. “We do so bytrying to simplify products and solutions without
compromising on functionality and quality.”
INNOVATION IS A STATE OF MINDAs far as innovation is concerned, the Mathys peo-ple come up with plenty of creative ideas. A fewyears ago, they started using the ‘innovation fun-nel’. Project ideas, product developments and newmaterial technologies are poured into the funnel,reviewed in group discussions and eventually themost promising ones are selected. “Our develop-ment team is a sophisticated mixture of experienced
orthopaedic surgeons, open-minded designers, ma-
terials experts, and – very importantly – critical spir-
its!” explains Hugo Mathys. “It’s not a playgroundfor yes-men, as such people do not take us any fur-
ther forward!” What he considers important is the
“No compromises are possible when it comes to product quality!”

exchange of competence in aspects like materialsscience, tribology, the daily challenges in the oper-ating room and the hospital atmosphere. He at-taches great importance to sound education andtraining. “Our collaborators have a high level of ex-pertise along the complete value chain.” A good ex-ample of one innovation is the recently developedartificial hip cup which uses a crosslinked polyeth-ylene enriched with vitamin E to increase its dura-bility and longevity.
In order to create the appropriate culturemedium for fresh and innovative ideas, the Mathysmanagement offers their development engineersthe freedom to test and try out future-oriented solutions outside their conventional workplace.There’s an overriding emphasis on individuality.This is also the reason why Hugo Mathys is averseto the very rapidly growing trend towards gigan-tism, which offers no basis for innovation and repre-sents a danger for creativity. “The actual transfor-mation in the health system has a greater impact on
the medical technology branch than the strong
Swiss franc.” In this overgrowth of institutions andcompanies the information flow is disturbed, therational and reasonable thought process is beingsuffocated by a mountain of administrative regula-tions and procedures, the whole system becomesincapable of helping individuals realize their fullpotential. That’s why he would like to give the fol-
lowing message to the Small and Medium-sizedEnterprises present at the World Medtech ForumLucerne: “Keep on supporting big companies withyour very special know-how, develop technologies
whose production does not pay off for the big ones –
occupy these profitable niches!”
What will be the place of Mathys in 20 years’time? Hugo Mathys, the experienced hobby pilotwho is used to hanging in midair, smiles: “A Euro-pean orthopaedic firm with a reputation as a reli-
able partner and manufacturer of high-quality im-
plants that give people an excellent quality of life
and a company that is helping to solve today’s chal-
lenges in the health sector.”

Eucomed is in permanent contact with Europeanregulators, politicians and other policymakers. To what extent can Eucomed exercise influenceover the formulation of the laws and policies affecting the medical technology branch? Canyou cite an example of a successful influence? Luciano Cattani: Eucomed engages with Europeanregulators, politicians and other policymakers todevelop and propose patient-centred policies thatenable people to live healthy and productive livesand provide solutions that significantly drive theproductivity and efficiency of healthcare systems.
In the pharma branch, the restrictions and approvals are increasingly time and money
consuming. Is this trend also evident in medical technology? Medtech and pharma are inherently different ani-mals. A centralized regulatory approach does notwork for medical technology. While health systemspurchase nearly 16,000 medicines, they requireover thirty times that number of medical devices.We must always bear in mind that unlike medicinalproducts, which represent one branch of science,medical devices represent a vast range of sciencesand technologies. Atomic physics, anatomy, bio-engineering, mathematics, engineering, materialsscience, radiology, fluid dynamics, thermodynam-ics, acoustics, computer science, electronics, micro-electronics. The list goes on and on and is only lim-

ited by doctors’ and scientists’ capacity to inventand innovate.
Patient safety is paramount and the EU hasstrict regulations for placing technology on themarket. We are hopeful that the future of EU med-ical device regulation will strike a mutually accept-able balance with patient safety rightfully at itscore – a balance that allows for increased safetywhile safeguarding innovation. As we see it, there isno ‘choice’ to be made between safety and fast ac-cess – you cannot choose access over safety – it isabout ‘combining’ safety and fast access.
Eucomed engages with over 65 expert groups dealing with regulatory, economic, internationaland legal affairs. How exactly should we interprettheir help especially for SMEs? Can you give us an example of effective and efficient support? In 2010 Eucomed launched an SME Task Force in aneffort to understand the needs of medical technol-ogy SMEs, which make up some 80% of themedtech sector in Europe. SMEs are also repre-sented in most of Eucomed’s working groupsthrough their national associations. We’ve surveyedmore than 7,000 SMEs, who have told us that smallbut powerful changes would reap rich rewards forEurope’s population, healthcare systems and eco-nomic development. We are working together withthe European Commission to make those small butpowerful changes to remove the big barriers thathamper the innovation potential of those SMEs.
A few years ago, doctors made the decisionsabout the products to develop in medical techno-logy. Today, the common law of business dictatesthe products to develop. Will we need legal
experts and lawyers instead of engineers in themedtech industry of the future? For the medical technology industry, collaborationwith healthcare professionals (HCPs) is an absolutemust. HCPs are the primary users of new technol-ogy and play an instrumental role in the successfuldiffusion of innovative medical devices throughoutEurope. In fact, HCPs often bring those ideas to thetable that lead to the development of new devicesand inspire continuous incremental improvementsto existing technology.
Industry also engages with patient groupswith the goal of improving the safety and usabilityof medical devices. We constantly strive to improvehealthcare delivery, creating tools which can helpminimize the chances of adverse events such ashealthcare associated infections (HCAIs). Further-more, by designing and developing easy-to-usemedical devices and procedures, the industry ishelping to reduce risk and increase quality of care.
Patients also have a role to play in improvingtheir own safety. Empowered patients, with im-proved access to information and patient training,can play an active role in managing their ownsafety. The industry seeks enhanced cooperationwith patients, to better understand the risks thatlead to adverse events, and to develop improved, pa-tient-centred solutions.
Because of a negative trade balance and nakedprotectionism more and more imports in coun-tries such as Brazil are subject to state restrictions.Do you think Eucomed can intervene in a meaningful way? In fact, the trade balance for medtech in the EU ispositive, as the graph below shows.

Eucomed promotes the free trade of medical tech-nology products that are manufactured to globallyrecognized high standards of safety. Tariffs act as abarrier to trade and restrict the types and quality oftreatments available to citizens. They also distortmarkets and act as an impediment to local suppli-ers wishing to become globally competitive by creating artificially benign business conditions inlocal markets.
Today the returns in the pharma sector have decreased to such an extent that business is nolonger cost-effective and companies cease to deliver their products to certain countries. Do you fear a similar development for the medtechindustry? Late payments in the public sector threaten thelivelihood of Europe's medical technology industry.Recognizing this, the European Union adopted a revised EU legal framework legislation in January2011 which introduced a limitation of paymentterms for public authorities to 30 days, withhealthcare providers being exempt up to 60 days.The European Directive needs to be transposedinto national law by March 2013 at the latest.
More than two years later, the situation hasnot seen much improvement. The total outstand-ing debt amount has remained largely the same,with about Euro 11 bn of overdue payments. The pay-ment term, however, has grown even longer.

12 To date, new business models for a rapidly trans-forming healthcare environment have rarely sur-faced. Since 2009, solution bundling (i.e. technologypaired with services, disposable goods, training, ITsupport, etc.) has been the main focus in overcom-ing the “triple challenges” to margins: price erosion,cost pressure and intensified competition, particu-larly from commodity players. In parallel, manage-ment is faced with increasingly tighter regulatoryand market access hurdles on a global scale, push-ing the innovation hurdles ever higher.
EMBRACE NECESSARY CHANGESBeatus Hofrichter has deep insights into the med-ical sector in Switzerland and beyond based on hisdecade-long consulting experience in the sectorand as co-author of the Swiss Medical TechnologyIndustry (SMTI) reports in 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010,and 2011. In the 2012 survey, he postulates that afirm's innovation and engineering competenciesdictate tomorrow’s business models.
The medtech sector needs to radically re-think how it addresses healthcare markets, nowthat they are changing faster than ever before:
Shaping your vision andunderlying business model
The medtech industry is rather conservative and tends to react only in response to change.This can be observed in the permanent “crisis mode” adopted by management and the failure to take account of the increasingneed for strategic refocusing.
Key medtech trends
Growing capabilities in emerging markets across the value chain, in R&D, engineering
and production
Reconfiguring innovation processes, taking greater advantage of networked
approaches, such as open source
Explosive growth in patient-specific information, including
for medtech devices
Key healthcare trends
Increasing importance of emerging markets, both from out-of-pocket
and government spending
Rising standardization/certification of health care procedures to improve quality
and ultimately outcomes
Widening gap of health care professionalsrequiring more training/education
capacity globally
13Little thought is given to latent client /marketneeds that can be addressed by players combiningleading-edge technologies in a unique way. As inthe past, medtech companies strive to improve op-erational processes and try hard to expand intonew markets or segments, overcoming regulatoryhurdles. Established players often focus on improv-ing profitability through optimization in market-ing, sales and distribution. However, the interna-tionalization of competition intensifies in parallelwith growing pressures on prices from healthcarepurchasers, resulting in a squeeze on the globalmedtech industry profit pool. Unfortunately, the in-dustry complains increasingly about the diminish-ing availability of next-generation managementskills and expertise, making access to talent andknow-how a game-winning discipline to secure fu-ture success.
WHERE TO PLAY AND HOW TO WINWhen planning to propel business forward into thenext decade, one has to review two fundamentalaspects: where to play and how to win. Given the in-creasing innovation hurdles, medtech companieshave to consider the options for exploiting all possi-ble business areas, including high-volume price-sensitive segments. Emerging markets offer thebest absolute growth opportunities, sometimeswith radically redesigned products, as evidenced bythe GE MAC 400, “Making ECG available to everyphysician, every patient, everywhere!”, including inrural India. Diversification across healthcare hasbeen an option for a while, effectively exploited bythe Fresenius Group with its integrated dialysisbusiness Fresenius Medical Care, the hospitalgroup Helios and VAMED, operating in the projectand management business of health care facilitiesworldwide.
Medtech companies have exploited strate-gic value chain configuration for cost reasons for awhile, particularly in manufacturing. The innova-tion challenge has now also led to value chainadaptations in R&D, such as open source ap-
proaches. Commercial models have increasinglybeen adapted from traditional product/sales force-centered commercial models targeted at surgeons/physicians to healthcare stakeholder-centered ap-proaches, as evidenced by the strengthening of KeyAccount Management capabilities, as exemplifiedby the OneMedtronic initiative. Most current inspi-rations stem from the flexibility/close collaborationbetween medtech firms and physicians on the jointdesign and development of new products tailoredto their needs. The most exciting future develop-ments might increasingly emerge at the interfacesof technical capabilities. Thus, the future flash of in-spiration appears to require highly heterogeneousteams.

FACTS AND FIGURES FORM THE BASISMore than ever, the umbrella association emergedfrom the Swiss suppliers of medical products andthe Swiss manufacturers for medical and hospitalequipment has to pull out all the stops to ensurethe best possible conditions for an unhindered mar-ket access of the medtech industry, especially its250 member companies.
It is understandable that the problems oc-curring in Europe 2011 with hip implants and the irresponsible production of breast implants haveprovoked insecurity in a wide range of medical prac-titioners and patients: The call for a state approvalsystem – a pre-market approval – is growing louder.But Dr Melchior Buchs, General Secretary FASMEDwarns against throwing out the baby with the bath-water: “In contrast to medication, medical devices arenot subject to authorization. Responsibility for con-
formity rests with the distributor who has to prove it
with the CE marking.” To turn one's back on a triedand trusted system of many years would imply thatnew product innovations had a longer lead-time. Bytaking over the ‘New and Global Approach’, Switzer-land has harmonized the placing of medical devices on the market with the European system.“More important than a pre-market approval are a
more intensive market surveillance and test criteria
for a CE labelling adapted to the increasing require-
ments”, comments Nicolas Markwalder, FASMEDPresident. “In my opinion, we also need internation-ally a stricter qualification and supervision of the
review bodies.”
An important contribution to quality assur-ance is the new Swiss Implant Register SIRIS put inplace by FASMED and other parties from health care.From September 2012 onwards, all knee and hipjoints implanted in Switzerland will be automati-cally registered in SIRIS. “There are about 22’000 hipand 17’000 knee prostheses manufactured by 10
companies and implanted by about 400 surgeons in
180 hospitals”, specifies the General Secretary.“Thanks to this digital system, implants can now be
traced to each patient. This creates an early warning
system in the event of any damage. From the data
collected it is possible to consider the quality of the
products used and to compare the treatment out-
come between different hospitals.”
IN PURSUIT OF TOTAL QUALITYThe continual price pressure is not mainly causedby the budgets for public spending but primarily bythe continuously rising health insurance premi-
More than a solid rock in turbulent waters
Recall of defective implants, international price comparisons,
parallel imports and increasing cost and price pressure as
well as the growing regulatory hurdles: it looks unlikely that
FASMED can sit back and content itself watching from the
side-lines.

ums. “The search for cost reductions is intense, pricecomparisons are the order of the day”. But in thisfield, different aspects have to be taken into consid-eration like the differences in purchasing power.We also must bear in mind whether individualproducts or whole service bundles are in questionand whether supplementary services are includedin the price.
An effective instrument seems to be parallelimports. Since 1996, CE-certified medical devicescan be imported into Switzerland and, since 2002,products certified in Switzerland may be exportedto the EU and EFTA countries. FASMED agrees withthe free transfer of goods as it is the decisive suc-cess factor for the Swiss medtech branch. “But theincreasing political demand to encourage parallel
imports may be detrimental to the patient”, pointsout Melchior Buchs. “A possible consequence may bethe reduction of patient safety: the importer is not en-
trusted with responsibility as the supplier to the mar-

they are not included in offers from abroad or areonly available at an additional charge.
WHAT CAN WE DO ON OUR OWN DOORSTEP?But taking a self-critical look we have to admit:there is considerable scope to save money, for in-stance in the supply chain by reducing the procure-ment costs for hospitals and the handling costs forsuppliers along the whole value chain. “The top pri-ority is the standardization of processes and the au-
tomation, keyword: e-Commerce”, comments Mel-chior Buchs. In 2011, FASMED brought together, in ahalf day workshop, players from the medical market.“They decided to strengthen in future the exchange of
experience, the binding nature of commitments and
the cost transparency between participating hospi-
tals and suppliers.”
The other strategy to follow is highest qual-ity thanks to professionals. The changes in thehealth sector set continuing high demands on the‘Medtech Consultant’. That’s why FASMED dis-cusses, together with the Swiss Health Quality As-sociation (shqa), the future requirements and possi-bilities as to further and continuing training foremployees in direct contact with clients. “Only if
they understand the complex processes involved in
healthcare issues can they develop the necessary indi-
vidual, social and specialist competencies”, MelchiorBuchs is convinced. It’s obvious: there remains muchwork to be done.
Visit the afternoon workshopstaking place on each confer-ence day treating congress topics. Participants have thechance to meet the respectivecountry experts, to reinforceindividual themes and to haveface to face talks: it may betheir first step to open upnew markets. At the Executive
Day, 25 September, FASMED will bring together specialiststo discuss medtech regulations,particularly:• Is there such a thing as a
regulatory strategy?• European revision – what is
the impact on Switzerland?• How to survive an FDA

idly. This trend is apparent, for example, in minimally
invasive surgery, musculoskeletal surgery and emer-
gency medicine”, says Dr Roger Zobrist, FMH special-ist in surgery and Head of AMTS. “At AMTS, medicalstaff can, in a creative atmosphere, achieve a high
standard of skills and learn to manage new surgical
methods with high precision in order to optimize pa-
tient safety.”
ACTIVE TEAMWORK WITH INDUSTRYMoreover, AMTS’ Swiss eHealth Campus provides aplatform for innovative cooperations between indus-try and users, making use of the latest Informationand Communication Technologies. ICTs are the indis-pensable prerequisites for success, covering the en-tire spectrum from medical and nursing tasks, tech-nical and logistic aspects, cost-effective materialsmanagement, drug safety, traceability and quality as-surance. Rather than turning medical personnel intocomputer scientists, it makes much more sense toequip them with the necessary skills to carry outtheir challenging tasks in the best possible way.
One of Roger Zobrist’s major interests is tobring together the manufacturers of medical de-vices, to encourage them to anticipate future mar-kets, to join forces to trigger innovations and to ex-ploit synergies via networking and collaboration. Aparticularly close cooperation exists with IBM forthe realization of an electronic information net-work in the health sector termed "e-Health". Ac-cording to the decision of the Swiss government, by2015 everyone in Switzerland will have a personal
electronic patient file, giving physicians an insightinto the patient’s medical history. This procedureshould, in future, guarantee the best possible treat-ment for patients and prevent them from unneces-sary, often dangerous and expensive, duplicatetreatments and inappropriate referrals. With itsunique know-how in data management, long-termarchiving and process integration, IBM makes animportant contribution to more efficient and saferpatient care. This applies particularly in the surgicalfield, where the acquisition of data concerning ad-ministered medication and treating medical staffallows complete traceability and quality assurance.
At their joint booth at the World MedtechForum, the AMTS specialists together with the Expertgroup™ will show visitors how their patentsolution for medical innovation works!
Completing the second tradefair day, participate in theMedtech Night, a colourful mixof company visits and culinary delights. A very exciting experi-

Straumann – integrated solutions from a single source
Reinhard Straumann was the offspring of a watchmaking family, always
brimming with innovative ideas for novel alloys for watches. The break-
through came when he developed new alloys with properties such
as resistance to fatigue and corrosion, while remaining non-magnetic.
25solutions are designed to regenerate oral tissue, ei-ther to support implant procedures or to help pre-serve teeth after treatment for periodontal disease.Finally, there are the digital solutions, comprisingguided surgery, intra-oral scanning and CAD/CAM.In future, intra-oral scanning will replace the lessprecise and unpleasant process of conventional im-pression-taking. The dentist is free to create a 3Ddata package of the patient's situation using a laserscanner inside the oral cavity. “The positive aspect inall this is that the complete package comes from a
single provider, simplifies workflows and links dental
professionals in a transdisciplinary way”, he explains.“Everyone involved in the patient care process has
access to the data he needs for his specific contribu-
tion.” Digitalization flows into all aspects of den-tistry, helps simplify interfaces, shorten treatment,reduce potential sources of error and improve qual-ity and reliability.
THAT’S WHERE THE SHOE PINCHESStraumann is a citizen of the world, employing ap-proximately 2450 people worldwide and offeringits products and services in over 70 countries. “Sincethe cultural differences can be significant, we have
specially trained people in our sales points around
the globe”, says Mark Pilgermann. “The challenge isto find customer-specific solutions that are econom-
ically feasible from a production point of view. Every
manufacturer tries to minimize the variations in
parts in serial production in order to cope with the
proliferation of stock-keeping-units (sku)." But everyperson is individual and unique. Serial production –customized production – digital products: It’s atough nut to crack, as they all have different coststructures. It’s true that, after the economic down-turn in 2009, the annual growth rates are still at 2 –6%. But the pressure on margins is intensifying; thepressure on competition is ever greater, especially inthe upper segment.
Straumann also keeps an attentive eye on In-tellectual Property. “The protection of IP, also regard-ing data and know-how, is of growing importance
It was the hour of glory for the development of newspring types, which found their way into watchesmanufactured by the likes of Rolex and IWC. Whenhe finally achieved a marketable alloy, he foundedthe Dr Ing. R. Straumann Research Institute AG in1954. In the late fifties, supported by his son Fritz, hebegan to seek new applications for his alloys. Heworked closely with the Swiss Association of Inter-nal Fixation, which was looking for new materialsfor the treatment of bone fractures. The use ofStraumann’s alloys in internal bone fixation was atechnology leap for orthopaedic surgery – soonStraumann became the global leader for internalfixation systems.
FROM WATCHMAKING TO DENTAL IMPLANTSIn the early seventies Fritz Straumann - equippedlike his father with the same efficient ‘sniffer dognose’ for innovation - discovered business potentialin dental prostheses. He started collaborating withthe University of Berne on clinical trials. In 1988, hewas one of the co-founders of the ITI Foundation(International Team of Implantology), which wascreated to promote and disseminate knowledge onall aspects of implant dentistry and related tissueregeneration through education and research tothe benefit of the patient. Today, the Institut Strau-mann AG, headquartered in Basel, is the largestmanufacturer of implants worldwide, selling about1.8 million ‘homemade’ implants per year, includingprostheses. While research and development arebased at the Swiss headquarters in Basel, manufac-turing facilities are located in Switzerland, the USAand – concerning dental tissue regeneration – inSweden.
“We define ourselves not as a manufacturer,
but as a ‘solution provider’”, points out Mark Pilger-mann, Vice President and Head of Corporate Pro-curement. He is referring on the one hand to the replacement solutions. The Straumann Dental Im-plant Systems are designed for long-lasting and aes-thetic tooth replacement to improve the standardof patient care. On the other hand, the regenerative

HEADING FOR NEW SHORESIn June 2012, Straumann took a courageous step incompleting the acquisition of 49% of Neodent, aprivately-held company in Brazil, which has grownat an average rate of 20% over the past three years.“Brazil is the world’s second largest market for im-
plant dentistry”, states Mark Pilgermann. “This take-over gives us access to additional Latin American
markets.”
What is noteworthy is that the two compa-nies will continue to operate independently as sep-arate businesses and brands, addressing distinctcustomer segments in Latin America. It reflects anew strategic approach. “Our idea is to unite differ-ent companies under one roof and exploit synergies,
but also to let each act as individual players on the

ETH Zurich – HEST: Combining research for concentrated power
Professor Langhans is the Head of the Departmentof Health Sciences and Technology, created in Janu-ary 2012 at ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute ofTechnology, Zurich), and which combines teachingand research in health sciences and medical engi-neering. Natural scientists and engineers cooperatein four specialized areas: Food and Nutrition, Med-ical Engineering, Movement Sciences and Sports,and Neurosciences.
LEVERAGING SYNERGIES – BUNDLING FORCESGlobal developments like the high rates of popula-tion growth, global warming, the consumption ofnon-renewable resources and demographic changespose challenges to present-day society and ourhealth care system that require an all-inclusive ap-proach. The complexity of the forthcoming tasksand problems requires integrated multidisciplinaryresearch. That’s why ETH Zurich combines naturaland engineering sciences, bringing togetherstrengths in the biomedical domain – from the mo-lecular to the systemic level – with medical technol-ogy, neurosciences and public health, to develop syn-ergies and common potential. The wide range ofskills available in the institutions makes this interdis-ciplinary approach possible, which is a prerequisitefor integrated solutions. Close co-operations takeplace with scientific colleagues, for example, withthe Paul Scherrer Institute, the University of Zurichand University Hospital Zurich. But other research in-stitutions are also particularly valuable for the newdepartment, like the World Food System Center(worldfoodsystem.ethz.ch) or NCCR Neuro, the Neu-ral Plasticity and Repair National Center of Compe-
tence in Research, (nccr-neuro.ethz.ch), a research in-strument of the Swiss National Science Foundation.
The focus lies on technology transfer fromthe research laboratories to the private sector. “Wedo not carry out specific industrial research, but we
open our laboratories to interested parties from in-
dustry and show them what is technically possible
and economically sensible, and then we find tailor-
made solutions.” The collaboration with hospitals isgranted priority status, as industry can only adoptnew technologies that have been practically testedin hospital life.
ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS WITH A ‘USP’“There is nothing comparable at international aca-
demic level that features the combination of these
four areas”, says an enthusiastic Wolfgang Lang-hans, whose key research interests are the physiol-ogy and pathophysiology of the neuroendocrinecontrol of eating and energy balance. This includesthe most common disabilities in the industrialworld, obesity and type-2 diabetes, the causes ofwhich are still uncertain. “Zurich is an innovationplatform, as we have a leading Technical University,
a renowned University Hospital and an outstanding
Medical Faculty.” He relates how, following the deci-sion of ETH Zurich, the researchers from the variousinstitutes came together to get to know each otherand, finally, to start a dialog on benchmarking. “Weall immediately gained the impression of a real en-
richment and felt that we can get things moving
much more efficiently when working together than
as lone fighters”, remembers Langhans. All in thesame boat, they defined three preliminary projects,
“We have really hit the mark!” states Professor Wolfgang Langhans,
delighted at the overwhelming response. “When we launched the
new ‘Health Sciences and Technology’ study course in 2011, 175 students
registered for the Bachelor's program. In 2012, 270 students have
registered to date, including many female students fortunately!”
29“ETH Zurich puts an emphasison the translation of its
research results into hospitals and industry. Specialized conferences such as the
World Medtech Forum Lucerneare important platforms that enable physicians and industry to meet and discuss future ways
of collaborating”Roland Siegwart

decided to pursue two of them further and to im-plement the third. This specific project aims toidentify and collect information on how our brainfunction is influenced by eating and physical activ-ity, and vice versa. It’s the USP, the ‘Unique SellingProposition’ at the new department with the high-est potential for success.
Since the institutes are currently at variouslocations in and around Zurich, the exchange of in-formation plays a major role. This is why seminarsare organized on a regular basis, during which grad-uate students in their 2nd or 3rd academic year of aPhD present their latest research results and put for-ward good ideas for identifying common projects.
QUALIFIED SPECIALISTS FOR THE MEDTECH INDUSTRYThe Health Sciences and Technology Study Pro-gram communicates basic knowledge about thehuman systems from the whole body perspectiveto the cellular and molecular levels, while integrat-ing fundamental concepts of technical sciences.These topics serve to fuel an innovative educa-tional course dealing with the problem area ‘hu-man being – health – technology’.
“If I had known that such an attractive study
opportunity was being created..." The reaction of
young people to the new Health Sciences and Tech-
nology Study Program was a big surprise to the initia-
tors. They were delighted, but also concerned about
whether they had a sufficiently developed infrastruc-
ture to cope with all these students.“Wolfgang Lang-hans is particularly happy about the fact that, in
two thirds of all cases, women are interested in en-rolling in the new bachelor's program. “This meansthat the combination of health-related topics with
engineering sciences is very attractive across gender
lines and seems to be able to tempt women into en-
gineering sciences where, in general, women are few
and far between.”
In 2016, the scientists will move closer to-gether when the new Medtech Center in Glorias-trasse – a building just a stone’s throw away fromZurich University Hospital – is operational andready to house the currently scattered communityunder one roof.
The Center of Attention (CoA) – a platform for an informal andinterdisciplinary exchange between research institutes atclinics, universities, technical colleges and the medical techno-logy industry – will be the mainmeeting point at the fair.

International flair and high-end medtech
The well known industry trade fair mediSIAMS willnow take place under the auspices of the WMTF inthe form of a “Microtechnology Experts Park”. Merg-ing the two Swiss trade fairs specializing purely inmedical technology will combine their strengths tocreate a powerful new platform for all Swiss indus-trial suppliers to introduce themselves to interna-tional manufacturers.
mediSIAMS is conceived as a meeting placefor all microtechnology companies whose produc-tion involves medical or dental technology in somepart. The spectrum encompasses investment prod-ucts such as machine tools, tools, automatic assem-bly machines, surface-treatment agents, and au-tomation systems, as well as products andknow-how from the supply industry. There is a spe-cial focus on the manufacture of turned parts, ma-chining, and assembly.
The consolidation is a win-win scenario forall involved: The WMTF provides an internationalstage for mediSIAMS and opens up new marketingopportunities for the microtechnology industry,while the exhibitors are not obliged to choose onetrade fair over another, and the WMTF benefits fromthe microtechnology expertise of mediSIAMS.
Dubbed “Specialists in microtechnology,powered by mediSIAMS”, the Microtechnology Experts Park will be located in Hall 2. Along withexcellent exhibitor presentations, it will be sup-plemented by the following:

This means the next World MedtechForum will take place in Lucerne September 17–19,2013. The partner organizations are delighted by thisexpression of confidence, and are doing all they canto continue the WMTF success story.
NEW EXHIBITION HALLS AND A DEDICATED RAILWAY STATIONLucerne’s new trade fair facilities will also con-tribute to the all-round comfort and convenienceof the medtech world in Lucerne: During the pastfew years, the infrastructure and the surroundingarea were totally upgraded. The last new exhibitionand event hall will be finished in time for the 2013WMTF, bringing all the facilities of Lucerne Exhibi-tion Centre to an international standard. The totalfloor area of the halls has been increased to 15,000square metres, and will provide space for 350 WMTFexhibitors. This compact area exactly matches the
WMTF’s exhibition strategy of moderate growthand maximum quality.
As a special highlight, the newest hall willbe equipped with a conference area furnished tothe highest standard. And the comfort factor willnot be lacking – in unique surroundings: The light-filled glass foyer and the large roof-terrace with aview of the Pilatus – Lucerne’s local mountain – pro-vide an ideal setting for some serious networking.
The area around Lucerne Exhibition Centre –the Allmend district – is also worth a visit: Right nextdoor is a brand-new football stadium, capable ofhosting Europa League matches; two new residen-tial towers; and an exclusive “Temple of Wellness”open to the public, complete with swimming pool.The Allmend is being gradually transformed into agreen recreational space, a feature that will alsobenefit Lucerne Exhibition Centre and its guests.

SECTOR UNDER GROWING PRESSUREHowever, regulatory measures, the gradual harmo-nization of clinical requirements applied to thepharmaceutical industry and growing bureaucracyincreasingly detract from the proven advantages ofSwitzerland as a location, weaken the innovativestrength and slow down the growth of the sector. In-creasing international competition, cost and price

Switzerland is a hot spot for medical technology. This has been
confirmed by all the Swiss Medical Technology Industry surveys to
date. Medtech companies have always valued the country’s political
and economic stability, its attractive fiscal environment, the access
to a highly qualified workforce and the flexible employment market.
The universities and innovative research institutes,various funding bodies and good availability of cap-ital are an added bonus. Not least the modernhealthcare system, a high density of hospitals andclinicians as well as relatively fast licensing of newdiagnostic and treatment methods make Switzer-land popular with foreign businesses as a locationfor production and research activities.

pressure, also caused by budget cutbacks in Swisshealthcare, and not least the strength of the Swissfranc that is unfavourable to export trade, cause dif-ficulties for local companies.
The market environment is getting tougherand tougher and forcing medical technology toadapt. Where we are heading is shown by the latestSMTI survey, due to be published on 20 September2012. Based on business data, this large-scale studypresents the strengths and weaknesses, develop-ments, innovations and trends that characterizethis sector of industry in Switzerland, describeswhere the challenges and opportunities lie andwhat strategies are adopted by manufacturers, sup-pliers, service and trading companies to addressthese.
320 COMPANIES SURVEYEDThe broad-based study initiated in 2008 is pub-lished every two years by the Medical Cluster andsupported by various organizations from themedtech sector. This year over 320 companies tookpart in the survey, which was actually expanded interms of questions and groups of topics. In addition,the results of the study are reinforced by contribu-tions from experts, for instance on the subject ofregulation.

ALL ABOUT HEALTH CAREThe B. Braun Company, which is still chiefly organ-ized by the founder family as it has been since 1839,includes four segments: The Hospital Care divisionequips hospitals and is a global leader in clinicalcare and patient treatment products. Aesculap is aworld leader in hand-held surgical instruments andsees itself as a partner of surgeons and interven-tional cardiologists. Out Patient Market (OPM) isconcerned with patient care outside the hospital, in-cluding care for chronically ill and long-term pa-tients. B. Braun Avitum is one of three full serviceproviders for extracorporeal blood treatment oper-ating on a global basis.
The B. Braun business model relies on thethree pillars of innovation, efficiency and sustain-ability. Every year, a special Innovation Prize isawarded to collaborators who have made a signifi-cant contribution to problem-solving devices or amore rational workflow in the hospital environ-
ment. “Many of the best ideas come from outsiders,for example doctors, nurses or paramedical staff who
work in the surgical field and make unconventional
suggestions. Our engineers take up these ideas and
develop them into something that is useable”, com-ments Meinrad Lugan, adding: “Flashes of geniusare always in the air, we just need an open attitude to
gather them up!” The chemist mentions the exam-ple of the inventor who wondered how to dry inter-nal wounds. He had an idea, went to the nearest supermarket for building materials, bought asponge and designed a prototype. The conceptworked, the end result was a simple but efficientdrainage system for internal wounds that is now inuse around the world. “The challenge is not to findbrilliant ideas, but to turn them rapidly into sustain-
able market successes and a broader product portfo-
lio.” This is evident when you look at the number ofpatents published by the European Patent Office,where medical technology remains at the forefront.
Give free rein to creativityInnovation is successful when a system is well thought out,
easy to understand, everything fits together and ‘clicks’ in the
mind. An example is the safety clip technology of B. Braun’s
Introcan Safety Catheter, designed to virtually eliminate
accidental needlestick injuries and avoid infections. It is a
global blockbuster because it increases safety and makes
life easier for the medical staff.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that 80% of new developments are incremental improvements, whilejust 20% are substantially new innovations.
A CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT AS A BREEDING GROUNDTo pave the way for future growth of the company,B. Braun initiated the Centers of Excellence, like theone at the Swiss site at Sempach, which is responsi-ble for research and development, product market-ing and manufacturing of disinfection and hygieneproducts for deliveries to the whole B. Braun group,i.e. a wide-ranging international network coveringmore than 50 countries employing about 45’000people, including 900 highly qualified employeesin Switzerland alone. Over 90% of the products indistribution are made by the B. Braun group in or-der to ensure that the added value remains withinthe company. The Center of Excellence is also theplace for “Gyro Gearloose” and his friends. Here,
“The challenge is not to find brilliant ideas, but to turn them rapidly into sustainable market successes and a broader product portfolio.”
Meinrad Lugan
medical staff, healthworkers, engineers and design-ers meet and play around with ideas for new prod-ucts and methods in the health sector. In a firstphase, even crazy thoughts and notions are col-lected and sorted by means of brainstorming. “Bythe end of the day, one out of five proposals is useful
and will be put into practice!” At B. Braun, it’s a mat-ter of course that the product designer is involvedin the development process from the very begin-ning. “This gives us the possibility to keep productioncosts under control.” Not every innovation is immedi-
ately welcomed with open arms, the B. Braun engi-
neers are well aware of this fact. Physicians must be
careful – they are working with living creatures!
“Whereas in the USA a new concept is introduced
and adopted within a few years all over the conti-
nent, in the Old World it may take a whole genera-
tion before the change is accepted”,Meinrad Luganspeaks from experience.
To make people from outside the health sec-tor receptive to healthcare issues and to give theman idea of the complex interrelations in this do-main, the B. Braun engineers regularly invite chil-

dren to join them in their laboratories. There is always great demand for these events, where curi-ous creatures can discover fascinating technicaland scientific phenomena.
HELP YOUR CLIENT BE SUCCESSFULThe B. Braun collaborators do not see themselvessimply as suppliers. Their aim is to serve as reliablepartners and assist the medical personnel in theirdemanding tasks. To address the growing problemof staff shortages, the company offers its hospitalcustomers complete systems and special trainingon the management of the devices and safety requirements. Anaesthesia sets are tailor-made foreach operative technique. B. Braun delivers onlythose devices required for the planned surgery. In or-der to enhance patient care management and clini-cal workflow, B. Braun also takes care of all the ster-ilization tasks of a hospital. Information of all typesis converted into digital form, promising instant ac-cess to all necessary documents, from the digital or-der and up-to-date overview of the stock level to theaccounting procedures. As a result, B. Braun createsa framework that allows the hospitals to fulfill theirkey role: ensuring safety and availability.
But what will be the place of B. Braun in 20years? “The market and society are changing rapidly.We have to observe the trends, keep things fast and
flexible and bring to market products which meet the
needs and are financially bearable in order to help as
many as possible”, states Meinrad Lugan. “And wehave to be open to fresh new ideas.” Open-minded-ness seems to be a maxim of thought for a companywhose managers – constantly travelling around theglobe – don’t care about having their own, presti-gious office: “At B. Braun, we prefer open landscapeswith creative plant arrangements, where we can
communicate, exchange information and ideas – the
fertilizer for innovation!”
Company profileB. Braun supplies the global healthcare market with products for anaesthe-sia, intensive medicine, cardiology, extracorporeal blood treatment and surgery, as well as services for hospitals, general practitioners and thehomecare sector. Through dialogue with those who are using B. Braun'sproducts on a daily basis, the company is continually gaining new know-ledge which it incorporates into product development. In this way, the company contributes with innovative products and services towards optimizing working procedures in hospitals and medical practices all overthe world and improving safety – for patients, doctors and nursing staff.

Precision workmanship is in our bloodIf you want miniature cogs to interlock precisely and slowly either in a watch or a small scale motor, each part has to be perfectly fi tted. Our workforce has the competence to develop and manufacture each miniature part for tiny systems. This know-how has emerged out of the watch and metalworking industry. Now many other industries profi t from these skills. It is a great advantage for a company to be able to employ people accustomed to working with precision instru-ments and to paying great attention to quality.www.locationsolothurn.ch
