For the third time in a row Sutter won the title "Fittest SME" at this year's B2Run in Freiburg. We are proud of everyone who participated!

We are excited to announce that our new Sutter app is now available in the Google Play Store and on iTunes. The Sutter app provides access to detailed information on products, applications, and the Sutter media center.

We wish you all a peaceful and happy Christmas time
and a great start into the New Year.

Soziales Engagement gehört bei Sutter dazu. Seit jeher geben wir einen Teil unseres unternehmerischen Erfolgs an diejenigen zurück, die weniger glücklich waren. So zum Beispiel in Form unserer Kinderpatenschaften, über die Sie hier mehr lesen können. Aber auch privat engagieren sich einige unserer Mitarbeiter für soziale Projekte. Lesen Sie hier mehr über das Engagement von Isabell Steiner auf den Philippinen.

Listening to the ideas and needs of our customers is a big part of what makes Sutter succesful. Over time we had some requests from pediatric neurosurgeons to design a shorter, more compact version of our bipolar forceps Calvian endo-pen^®. We are happy to announce that this shorter version is available.

Social engagement is a matter truly dear to our hearts. With our child sponsorships, blood donor campaigns organized by our employees or material donations, we constantly try to make our contribution. This time we were happy to support a training project in Kigali, Rwanda.

Before the start signal, the team from Sutter Medizintechnik was again awarded for the fittest team in the group of small and medium-sized enterprises. With more than 50% of the employees we had a really great race and time together.

From May 24 to May 27, the German Society of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, met in Erfurt for their annual meeting. Together with our German distribution partner Neuwirth Medical Products, we were delighted to welcome many visitors at our booth in the exhibition area.

For the 7^th time, PD Dr. E. Oestreicher invited ENT doctors to his workshop on dermatosurgery and aesthetic procedures in Meppen, Germany that took place on March 31 and April 1, 2017. In different lectures given by PD Dr. E. Oestreicher and PD Dr. med. Scherer, participants learned about the many possibilities and advantages of the 4MHz radiofrequency technology in both dermatosurgical and aesthetic procedures. The workshop offered a great mix of theoretical knowledge, live surgeries, and practical exercises.

There has been a strong and unrelenting trend towards single-use instruments in hospitals and clinics worldwide. 
To respond to this demand, Sutter launched the RaVoR™ single-use probes for sleep-related breathing disorders and snoring treatment

On January 27, the 8th radiofrequency course of the department of otolaryngology of the University Hospital Munich (LMU, Director: Prof. Dr. med. A. Berghaus) took place on their Großhadern campus. Once again, we and our distributor partner Neuwirth Medical Products supported the course under the direction of Dr. med. M. Patscheider.

Our first event in 2017 was the Winter Days of Laryngology in Crans Montana, Switzerland. 
The event brought together reputable laryngologists from all around the world to discuss
the different issues of larynx surgery and also learn about the methods of their colleagues. 

With our last blog entry for 2016 we like to say 'thank you'.

Thank you for your support, your enthusiasm for our products, your attendance at our events and last but not least thank you for visiting us at our booths all over the world. All of this contributed to this successful year 2016.

For 10 years now, German welfare organizations such as Caritas, Diakonie and the Ministry for Economic Affairs, Employment and Housing of the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg have acknowledged social commitment by awarding a prize to small and medium-sized businesses.

In 2016 Sutter Medizintechnik received the prize for social commitment. 

Dr. Cameron McIntosh is a young ENT surgeon from South Africa who visited the Sutter factory and the sales and
marketing team in Freiburg at the beginning of the year. He subsequently purchased a CURIS® radiofrequency generator
with a full range of instruments and the 4RHINO for measurement of nasal airflow before and after nasal surgery in his patients.

We are very pleased that a newly founded Sutter branch doing now actively
business in the United States has been added to our subsidiary in Hong Kong.

This year, the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies met in Athens, Greece.
According to the motto “Neurosurgery: from the Classics to the future” the congress attracted
more than 1200 delegates and 50 companies from the medical industry into the Greek capital.

This year, Sutter Medizintechnik GmbH held its 6th International Sutter Distributor Conference
in the beautiful city of Stockholm. The event is popular with distributors from Europe and the
Asia-Pacific region as it combines fun events, learning situations and the exchange of ideas and market experience.

In July, despite the high summer temperatures, many of the Sutter employees joined the B2Run in Freiburg.
At 30 degrees the 6 km long stretch was a real challenge. But they got awarded.
