5,000 masks were handed over at the Marburg site on 19.05.2021 – these are the high-quality, medically safe FFP2 masks “GL001A” with headbands, which are preferred in particular by doctors and nursing staff at the university hospital.
Prof. Dr. Renz (Medical Director of the University Hospital Marburg) and Dr. Sylvia Heinis (Commercial Director of the University Hospital Marburg) received the donation.
“We are delighted to make a contribution to the protection of hospital staff in these extraordinary, challenging times with our donation,” says Joachim Heller, Managing Director of HELLER MEDIZINTECHNIK GmbH & Co KG and Senator for European Business. For this reason, HELLER MEDIZINTECHNIK will also donate 5,000 FFP2 masks to the Giessen site.
The company also supports citizens in the Lahn-Dill region with three COVID-19 test centers in Braunfels (Haus des Gastes, Fürst-Ferdinand-Str. 4, 35619 Braunfels), Schöffengrund-Schwalbach (Sport- und Kulturhalle, Jahnstr. 2, 35641 Schöffengrund-Schwalbach) and Lahnau (Gemeinschaftshaus Dorlar, Wetzlarer Str. 14-20, 35633 Lahnau).
In addition, a mobile test center carries out tests in daycare centers or companies on request. “We sometimes test more than 200 people a day at each center,” says Joachim Heller. “We see the widespread implementation of free rapid antigen tests as an important element in positively influencing the pandemic.”
Walking is something that most people take for granted – but if you have weak foot dorsiflexion, every step can become a real challenge. Those affected have difficulty lifting the forefoot during the swing phase. The foot drags on the ground, the gait becomes unsteady and the risk of tripping or falling increases significantly.
Foot drop fundamentally changes the way you walk. Every step requires concentration and the risk of tripping and falling is high. Particularly in the home environment and when climbing stairs, it becomes clear just how restricted the mobility of those affected is.
As the days get shorter, freezing temperatures set in and we spend more time indoors, many people start to feel pain again. Especially in winter, those affected complain more often about back, joint or muscle pain. The good news is that with the right combination of exercise, small everyday measures and modern medical technology, aches and pains can be alleviated even in the cold season.
Every year, the Christmas season invites us to pause for a moment, take a deep breath and reflect on the essentials.
For us, this means above all saying thank you.
MEDICA 2025 has once again shown where the future of medicine is heading: digitalization, AI and robotics are shaping the next steps in healthcare. With thousands of exhibitors and trade visitors from all over the world, the trade fair offered a unique look at the technologies of tomorrow – and we were right in the middle of it all.
Pain in the back, joints or due to tension impairs mobility and quality of life. Many people are therefore looking for an effective method with few side effects. TENS and EMS devices can help here. They use electrical impulses to relieve pain, strengthen the muscles and promote well-being.
HELLER MEDIZINTECHNIK GmbH & Co. KG has been a certified medical technology company for over 25 years and has many years of experience in designing solutions in the field of electrical nerve and muscle stimulation.
