spirit of excellence


Editorial / Contents<br />

Dear Business Friends,<br />

Fostering strong <strong>customer</strong> loyalty through strong<br />

<strong>customer</strong> integration is a top priority for Richard<br />

Wolf in times of global economic crisis and regions<br />

beset by uncertainty. The current economic challenges<br />

(financial and economic crisis) mean that all<br />

employees of Richard Wolf and our sales partners<br />

across the world need to intensify their commitment<br />

and impress our global <strong>customer</strong>s with the unparalleled<br />

quality of our products, our unique service,<br />

and our excellent <strong>customer</strong> focus. This approach is<br />

absolutely essential because successful companies<br />

create an "emotional" link with their <strong>customer</strong>s.<br />

Despite the uncertain forecasts about the willingness<br />

of the public healthcare sector to invest worldwide,<br />

we completed the first quarter of this year with<br />

an extremely gratifying result. This was particularly<br />

the case in the regions of Asia, Latin America, and<br />

with our subsidiaries, where we have been able to<br />

generate significant growth in orders booked.<br />

The remaining three quarters are still burdened with<br />

uncertainty, since the financial and economic crisis<br />

across the world has not generally come to an end<br />

yet.<br />

There’s nothing like success to generate success.<br />

We would like to take this opportunity to express<br />

our thanks to all our partners contributing to this<br />

success and to our employees for the outstanding<br />

first quarter. We hope that intensified and dedicated<br />

commitment of everyone will continue the initial<br />

success of the year 2010. After all, particularly in<br />

times of economic challenges, we need to do every<br />

thing in our power to further optimize <strong>customer</strong><br />

satisfaction through enhanced service commitment<br />

and place <strong>customer</strong> success at the focal point of<br />

our activities. This will enable us to achieve our projected<br />

objectives during the course of this year.<br />

We invite all our business friends, sales partners,<br />

and Wolf representatives to use our NEWS as a<br />

platform for interdisciplinary communication. We<br />

look forward receiving exciting and informative articles<br />

from you. I would like to wish you the best of<br />

luck for excellent cooperation between all the market<br />

players in a spirit of cooperation. We all need to<br />

focus on moving forward, providing mutual support<br />

and continuing to work together to achieve our<br />

goals for 2010.<br />

Yours,<br />

AORN<br />

This year, Denver in Colorado hosted the<br />

57th AORN Congress. RWMIC enthused<br />

congress participants with its impressive<br />

new booth concept and also impressed the<br />

competition. The new look communicated<br />

Richard Wolf’s Competence and<br />

Confidence to booth visitors, in line with the<br />

Motto "Yes, We Can". The AORN Congress<br />

was very well attended, with between<br />

Dr. Meredith, Spine Course, 2/27/2010<br />

4000 and 5000 Nurses registered. We<br />

collected a total of 159 quality leads.<br />

The featured products and services, and<br />

the continuing educational offerings, especially<br />

in the area of reprocessing, represented<br />

another outstanding success. Nurses in<br />

the US have to participate in continuing<br />

education and the AORN Congress offers<br />

the perfect platform for this. Richard Wolf<br />

On 21 January, the new Prima Vista<br />

Richard Wolf Academy hosted its first<br />

hands-on training course featuring<br />

Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEM).<br />

Surgeons from around the United States<br />

attended the course, consisting of a lecture<br />

and a hands-on wet lab, to learn about<br />

this revolutionary procedure.<br />

Featuring Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery,<br />

a minimally invasive approach<br />

for the removal of polyps and early stage<br />

rectal cancer, the patient is spared from<br />

undergoing a debilitating low anterior<br />

resection and the long recovery time and<br />

scarring that is characteristic of an open<br />

procedure. The second course held on 27<br />

February featured a lecture and a handson<br />

demonstration of endoscopic discectomy<br />

and endoscopic dorsal ramus rhizoto-<br />

Conventions / Training Courses<br />

provided additional value to the nurse attendees<br />

with its certified Continuing Education<br />

Classes carried out in the booth, and<br />

this exerts a positive effect on company<br />

interest.<br />

The Steris problems in the US meant that<br />

the focus was on the ASP Sterilization processes<br />

Sterrad NX and Sterrad 100NX.<br />

Currently, these processes are almost the<br />

only sterilization methods in the US for<br />

non-autoclavable instruments, such as<br />

fiberscopes.<br />

The new booth concept and all the booth<br />

staff contributed to the success of the show<br />

and left a positive impression on all potential<br />

<strong>customer</strong>s. The 58th AORN Congress<br />

will be held in Philadelphia, PA, in March<br />

2011.<br />

my using cadavers. By removing problematic<br />

spinal disc tissue through an endoscope,<br />

surgeons can reduce tissue damage<br />

and recovery times, providing a major<br />

benefit to patients. The success rates of<br />

both endoscopic discectomy and endoscopic<br />

dorsal ramus rhizotomy are high<br />

and provide long-term pain relief to<br />

patients suffering from back conditions.<br />

Having completed two successful training<br />

courses, Richard Wolf can now move forward<br />

with its goal of utilizing the Academy<br />

as a forum for education and the promotion<br />

of minimally invasive surgical procedures,<br />

while confident in the belief that<br />

they have delivered a truly state-of-the-art<br />

training facility.<br />

2nd Hip Arthroscopy Workshop in Leipzig<br />

German orthopedic surgeons train new operating techniques<br />

In cooperation with Dr. Miehlke and Dr.<br />

Sobau (ARCUS Sports Hospital), our 2nd<br />

training course of hip arthroscopy was held<br />

on 5 March in Leipzig. The delegates received<br />

all the theoretical background information<br />

for hip arthroscopy in the first part of the<br />

course. In the afternoon, the theory was then<br />

put into practice at the Institute of Anatomy<br />

The event was oversubscribed with some<br />

160 participants. This was how we came to<br />

enter the arena in rather a triumphalist<br />

mood. However, there were also doubters<br />

who believed that Da Vinci might steal the<br />

show.<br />

But they were very wide of the mark!<br />

Naturally, everyone was rather curious<br />

about the robot. We were quite relaxed and<br />

adopted a policy of live and let live. Yes, the<br />

of the University of Leipzig. All the delegates<br />

had the opportunity to learn about the<br />

operating method using hip arthroscopy on<br />

anatomical specimens.<br />

The technical possibilities and the new surgical<br />

techniques developed as a result<br />

mean, on the one hand, that it is necessary<br />

for surgeons to hone their skills before app-<br />

president enjoyed himself, and we waited<br />

patiently for our turn.<br />

And then things really got going. One thing<br />

after another, the PDD, saline, Greenlight,<br />

and THE COBRA enthusiasm with no end in<br />

sight. Then came Mega Pulse, Lahme and<br />

our laparoscopy came bimanually and<br />

cognitively into the arena.<br />

The demand for Cobra at the stand was<br />

awesome. We climbed the Urology Olympus<br />

lying the techniques to patients. On the other<br />

hand, carrying out workshops of this nature<br />

is an essential prerequisite for Richard Wolf<br />

to sell the systems.<br />

Since hip arthroscopy is going to become<br />

increasingly important at home and on the<br />

international stage over the coming years as<br />

a result of new indications, we will be offering<br />

an international training course for the<br />

first time this year. Our 1st international training<br />

course on hip arthroscopy will be held<br />

at Europe’s most advanced medical training<br />

center in Caceres, Spain, in cooperation with<br />

Dr. Miehlke and Dr. Sobau, ARCUS Sports<br />

Hospital, and Dr. Ribas, University Hospital<br />

Barcelona, from 14 – 15 May.<br />

The surgeons and the moderators have<br />

Hospital right in the foreground of the urological<br />

landscape with this outstanding event.<br />

Yes – and our company chronicler can proudly<br />

record the birth of the COBRA and the<br />

success of this workshop.<br />

Our company can be proud of its products<br />

and successes, as we have just learnt in<br />

Würzburg. Naturally, our thanks go to the<br />

urologists Schön, Schiefelbein and the all<br />

the team at the hospital. The entire Wolf<br />

Team would like to express their thanks to<br />

Mr. Notheis who created the framework conditions<br />

that enabled us to bring this outstanding<br />

success in Würzburg to Knittlingen.<br />

During recent years, arthroscopy and<br />

arthroscopic surgery of the hips have<br />

attracted a great deal of attention across<br />

the world. The procedures for knee and<br />

shoulder arthroscopy established over a<br />

period of many years are now being deployed<br />

at specialist centers for visualization<br />

of the hip joint. Cartilage therapies,<br />

joint-capsule surgery and procedures for<br />

bone correction are now part of the standard<br />

tool kit of a hip-joint arthroscopist.<br />

Pain in the hip joint is not only suffered by<br />

athletes. Not all pain experienced in the<br />

area of the hips originates in the hip joint,<br />

but arthroscopy of the hip joint is only indicated<br />

for pain on medical grounds after<br />

appropriate clarification.<br />

The building blocks for establishing a<br />

secure diagnosis include taking a case<br />

history, clinical investigation and X-ray<br />

diagnosis. We also carry out MR arthro-<br />

graphy of the affected hip joint in order to<br />

provide a further diagnostic safeguard and<br />

establish the extent of the injury. Hip arthroscopy<br />

is indicated once the pathology<br />

has been definitively established and if<br />

there is resistance to conservative therapy.<br />

Surgical technique:<br />

Arthroscopy can be carried out in the dorsal<br />

or lateral position. When the dorsal<br />

position favored by us is adopted, the<br />

patient is placed on a standard extension<br />

table. The patient is extended over a well<br />

upholstered counter-traction rod so that an<br />

adequate opening of the joint cavity can<br />

be achieved. A camera and working instruments<br />

can then be introduced into the<br />

hip joint without injury to the interior structures<br />

of the joint under image-converter<br />

control. Specialist instruments are required<br />

for safe positioning of instruments and<br />

implementation of the planned surgical<br />

steps.<br />

Arthroscopic operation:<br />

Joint-capsule surgery and femoro-acetabular<br />

impingement are the most common<br />

indications for hip arthroscopy with hip<br />

conditions across the world. The procedure<br />

is technically demanding and complex.<br />

From an arthroscopic perspective, the hip<br />

joint is comprised of two parts: a central<br />

and a peripheral compartment. They are<br />

divided by the acetabular labrum (joint<br />

capsule), which like the labrum of the<br />

shoulder surrounds the edge of the acetabulum<br />

like a protective wall and delimits<br />

February in 2008. More than 250 surgeons<br />

come to ESTC/TUMS every year to make the<br />

most of our unique training courses. Every<br />

year many surgeons and gynecologists<br />

from various cities in Iran practice different<br />

aspects of laparoscopy at the center. This<br />

centre is also able to accept surgeons from<br />

other countries for training under the supervision<br />

of expert laparoscopic surgeons. It is<br />

well equipped with the most advanced and<br />

up-to-date technology and facilities.<br />

ESTC/TUMS offers twenty-two workstations<br />

for dry lab and six workstations in wet lab.<br />

Endoscopic Surgery Training Center in Tehran, Iran<br />

Tehran University of Medical Science<br />

Richard <strong>WOLF</strong> Academy in Iran<br />

The Endoscopic Surgery Training Center of<br />

Tehran University of Medical Science<br />

(ESTC/TUMS) is very beneficial for general<br />

surgeons, gynecologists, urologists, etc.,<br />

because of the rigorous scientific and technical<br />

qualities applied here. The new building<br />

for the ESTC/TUMS was built in<br />

January 2007. The center was created from<br />

the combined synergy of the Tehran University<br />

of Medical Science, and Aryan<br />

Tandorost Company (the agent of Richard<br />

<strong>WOLF</strong> in Iran). The modern high-quality<br />

instruments for laparoscopy are installed by<br />

Aryan Tandorost.<br />

The first advanced course working on animals<br />

in the animal lab was held from 7-19<br />

the central compartment with respect to<br />

the peripheral compartment. Cartilage<br />

smoothing, micro-fracturation or abrasion<br />

arthroplasty can also be carried out as<br />

necessary, as can labrum debridement,<br />

partial resection or refixation of the labrum<br />

Bony protuberance (osteophyte) in the peripheral compartment<br />

using thread anchors to stabilize the labrum.<br />

After carrying out these key surgical<br />

steps, the leg is repositioned from the<br />

extension to the flexion position. Creating<br />

new specific accesses allows the peripheral<br />

compartment to be visualized and surgical<br />

interventions to be carried out. The<br />

bony protuberances requiring therapy in<br />

the context of FAI (see Fig.) are generally<br />

found here and they can then be removed<br />

using special microsurgical instruments. A<br />

function check can be immediately carried<br />

out on the remedy for the mechanical<br />

obstacle between surgical interventions<br />

using arthroscopic visualization and X-ray<br />

control.<br />

Norwegian Laryngology Meeting<br />

The Norwegian Laryngology Association<br />

held its annual meeting from 22 – 25<br />

March at Harahorn. The Harahorn Hotel is<br />

situated 1100 m above sea level with a<br />

wonderful view over the valley. The hotel is<br />

located in Hemsedal, one of Norway’s largest<br />

ski resorts in the Scandinavian Alps.<br />

DIDR. MEHN-ANDERSEN AS was a part of<br />

this event, and we were privileged to get Dr.<br />

Roland Rydell from the University Hospital<br />

in Lund, Sweden to join us for some lectures<br />

on phoniatry and laryngology.<br />

Dr. Rydell has been working with the HRES<br />

for some years now and uses it on a daily<br />

basis in his work with patients and famous<br />

singers in Sweden.<br />

After Dr. Rydell gave his lectures, we got<br />

some hands-on demonstrations with HRES<br />

and the stroboscope.<br />

We brought one HRES and two stroboscopes<br />

to the meeting to provide hands-on<br />

experience and this enabled the physicians<br />

to get to know a little bit more about the<br />

system and its use. The Norwegian Laryngology<br />

association aims to have these<br />

meetings once a year and the meeting<br />

always take place at this wonderful location.<br />

The delegates at the meeting are physicians<br />

specializing in laryngology, with most of<br />

them coming from various hospitals in<br />

and transfer of advances between Europe,<br />

the USA, and the Middle East, as well as<br />

providing appropriate training courses for<br />

Endoscopic Gynecology. A full range of<br />

activities is being planned and the program<br />

will be announced in the near future.<br />

Dr. Adel Mallwany<br />

Norway, although some are from private<br />

practices.<br />

This is the meeting where all the major<br />

laryngologists from Norway gather for 2<br />

days to gather new academic inputs and to<br />

mix socially.<br />

I would thank Dr. Rydell on behalf of <strong>WOLF</strong><br />

and DIDR. MEHN-ANDERSEN AS for his<br />

insights and participation at the event. Our<br />

thanks also to KeboMed, Denmark, for helping<br />

out during this event. It was a great<br />

meeting with a lot of interesting lectures. We<br />

are already looking forward to the next meeting.<br />

Prof. Dr. Doddy M. Soebadi:<br />

"I love Richard Wolf Piezolith<br />

since 1989"<br />

A big, loyal fan of the Richard Wolf "Piezolith<br />

Product Range" has come forward in<br />

Indonesia. Professor Doddy M. Soebadi,<br />

MD, PhD from Darmo Hospital Surabaya in<br />

Indonesia has been working with Richard<br />

Wolf PiezoLith Systems since they were first<br />

installed in 1989. He initially worked with<br />

the PiezoLith 2300, before going on to<br />

work with each of the follow-up systems,<br />

which have proved to be reliable, effective<br />

and extremely successful in clinical use for<br />

treating and disintegrating stones to this<br />

day.<br />

The latest configuration of the Richard Wolf<br />

Piezolith 3000 is currently being used very<br />

WellWave Surfs in San Diego<br />

From 18 – 20 February, Richard Wolf Medical<br />

Instruments Corporation (RWMIC)<br />

exhibited the WellWave ESWT (extra-corporeal<br />

shockwave therapy) device for the<br />

first time in the United States at the American<br />

Physical Therapist Association (APTA)<br />

convention. This convention was attended<br />

Ed Troike & Ron Haselhorst, San Diego, APTA Convention<br />

by over 6,000 physical therapists, PT assistants,<br />

academics and students. Many<br />

of the delegates to the convention had<br />

their first exposure to Richard Wolf and<br />

our products.<br />

The convention provided Director of Marketing,<br />

Ed Troike, General Manager, Niels<br />

Schmidt, and Quality Assurance / Regulatory<br />

Affairs Manager, Ron Haselhorst,<br />

with an opportunity to demonstrate the<br />

WellWave and promote its many benefits<br />

to this professional group. Physical<br />

Therapists are often closely associated<br />

with hospitals and orthopedic surgeons.<br />

They work closely with patients recovering<br />

successfully in the Darmo Hospital Surabaya.<br />

The PiezoLith 3000 from Richard<br />

Wolf is being used extremely effectively and<br />

efficiently in clinical settings to destroy kidney<br />

and ureteral stones.<br />

The three-way focus permits the PiezoLith<br />

3000 to be individually switchable for successful<br />

stone fragmentation with minimal<br />

effect on surrounding tissue.<br />

The objective of Professor Doddy M. Soebadi<br />

is to pass on his extremely positive<br />

experiences with the "PiezoLith" to his colleagues<br />

in the country.<br />

There are approximately 30 lithotriptors in<br />

clinical use in Indonesia. 15 of these sys-<br />

from surgeries and patients who are rehabilitating<br />

from injuries that may or may<br />

not have involved surgery. These practitioners<br />

often see patients that are suffering<br />

from chronic and repetitive stress injuries.<br />

The WellWave is a proprietary Richard<br />

Wolf product that uses piezo-electric ge-<br />

nerated acoustic shockwaves to simulate<br />

the action of a focused manual massage<br />

or a deep tissue massage. The obvious<br />

advantage that the WellWave provides to<br />

this convention group is an effective alternative<br />

to the physical effort necessary to<br />

treat their patient group and the ability to<br />

treat more patients during a normal work<br />

day.<br />

Many of the attendees stopped to ask<br />

questions on how the WellWave might be<br />

used in their practice. Mr. Troike and Mr.<br />

Haselhorst took time to demonstrate the<br />

simplicity of WellWave operation and<br />

gave a basic, hands-on trial to a few wil-<br />

Conferences / Technology<br />

Prof. Dr. Doddy M. Soebadi<br />

tems were installed as Richard Wolf<br />

PiezoLith Systems, equivalent to a market<br />

share of 50%.<br />

At Richard Wolf, we are very pleased to<br />

have such a loyal client in Indonesia who<br />

has proved such a passionate supporter of<br />

our Piezolith 3000 System in his work.<br />

Peter Vallon<br />

ling therapists who wanted to experience<br />

what an acoustic shockwave feels like.<br />

Many of the academics and students<br />

attending the convention were familiar<br />

with the terminology and the theory of<br />

shockwave therapy. They were interested<br />

in learning more and possibly including<br />

the WellWave in their research. Mr. Troike,<br />

Mr. Schmidt, and Mr. Haselhorst were<br />

pleased with the interest in the WellWave<br />

and hope that they were successful in<br />

encouraging this important group of <strong>customer</strong>s<br />

to consider the WellWave ESWT<br />

device as they start or expand their practice.<br />

Overall, the APTA convention provided<br />

RWMIC with a template to effectively<br />

display and demonstrate the WellWave at<br />

future shows and exposed the participants<br />

to the Richard Wolf brand and the<br />

WellWave unit.<br />
