Four exciting days come to an end. Four days the main subject an theme was medical technology. Horst Giesen, Project Director of MEDICA draws a balance.

Movement at MEDICA - Physiotherapy and Orthopedics

  4,571 exhibitors will be showcasing their products at MEDICA 2011. Clearly structured, MEDICA covers the entire range of medical equipment needs in practices and hospitals - among them Physiotherapy and Orthopedics.

As every year, exhibitors and visitors will meet at the MEDICA for fascinating discussions, demonstrations and visits to the MEDICA FORUMS. We have let them draw a balance and asked what it is, that often makes them come back to the world's largest medical trade fair for many years in a row.

A Heart for MEDICA

  The heart is one of the most important organs that keep the human body alive. The photo gallery "A heart for MEDICA" presents instruments and devices used in cardiac surgery and diagnostics.

Imaging methods offer doctors the opportunity to find out what happens inside the patients body in shortest time. No matter if fractures, venereal activity or brain structures - the recording of the highly complex machines describe even tiny changes accurately. Combined with digital data processing diagnoses can be made more precise and faster than ever.

Avoiding dangerous infections and making sure, that patients and staff in the hospital get better or stay healthy - that is the job of hygiene experts who are responsible for this sensitive task in the hospital. Partly, just little things have to be taken into account, but sometimes sophisticated equipment is needed.
