Our new experience in Stuttgart - a successful direct sale

Dear business partners,

today I would like to take the opportunity to give you a little insight into our last few weeks.

First, I am excited to share with you the highlights from our recent attendance at the 30th Stuttgart Advanced Course for Rhinoplasty in April. The congress had a special significance as it celebrated its 30th anniversary and gave us the opportunity to resume direct sales in Germany. We have had very good experiences with this in the past and believe that this approach could also be beneficial in your market.
You can read more about our detailed experience in the following section.

There were also some general updates regarding the MDR Regulation. I would like to give you a brief insight into the current status and what this means for us as a medical technology provider.

I wish you a pleasant time and hope to meet you in person again soon if the opportunity arises.

Michaela KnörrGlobal Business Unit Director SURGICAL

A successful anniversary -
30th Advanced Course for Rhinoplasty

The Advanced Course for Rhinoplasty is a very important congress for us and we have been attending it for many years. The opportunity for direct sales has come up over the years and we are very honoured to have the privileg of beeing the only company with an on-site sale in Stuttgart.
As many other occasions in the past have shown, a direct sale experience has always been a valuable addition to our presence at a congress. Although we have previously managed direct sales ourselves, we have also found great success through collaboration with our distributors. Building on this successful collaboration, we have made a small change this year by merging direct sales with our long-time specialist distributor Karsten Wegmann from Germany.

Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and limited trade fair appearances in the past, we were pleased to witness a strong reception for our prodcuts in Stuttgart. Right from the first day of the congress, we experienced significant interest and sales.
Since we have been doing direct sales on site for many years now and many visitors already know about it, this has certainly helped the success even more. However, as in the past experienced, the opportunity to buy the products directly on site is well-received by visitors in general.

Our Plastic Surgery Program, as always in Stuttgart, received a exceptional feedback from the participants. The lectures and live operations conducted by Dr. Sebastian Haack and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Gubisch provided valuable insights and further heightened the interest in our Rhinoplastic products.

We are proud of the successful outcome of the 30th Stuttgart Advanced Course for Rhinoplasty and for the cooperation with Karsten Wegmann. We are already looking forward to our next direct sale, which will take place at the IMRHIS Congress in Berlin at the end of this month.

Extension of the MDR and its significance for Medicon eG

The MDR (Medical Device Regulation) has affected us as a medical technology company for several years now. This regulation, passed by the European Parliament and the Council in 2017, aims to enhance the legal framework for medical devices and in-vitro diagnostics.The implementation of these regulations will apply from May 2021 and from May 2024 for medical devices certified under the old legal regime.

Due to several serious events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, disruptions in global supply chains and other events, there is a risk of shortages of life-saving medical devices. To address this concern, in January of this year, the EU Commission proposed an extension of the MDR implementation deadline.

This request for an extension has now been granted. The duration of the extension depends on the risk class of the medical device and can apply until December 2028 at the latest.

You can find more information on the applicable transition periods here:

We, as Medicon eG, are grateful for these transition periods as they provide us with additional time to comply with the new regulations. Nevertheless, we remain committed to adapting our product range promptly and ensuring clarity for our partners and customers regarding the products that will continue to be available in our portfolio.
