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 />

Schön have put the Mission Medical<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 />

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 />
