Drive Systems for Medical and Laboratory Equipment

SPONSORED BY:

Patients usually are not aware of it, but drive systems are always at their side: in prophylaxis when dentist’s use handtools with ultra-low vibrations, in diagnostics systems where medical imaging provides ultra-sharp images, in robot assisted incisions supporting surgeons, personally in rehabilitation devices or prosthetics. Whatever your medical application needs may be, our broad portfolio of drive system and accessories is always the right prescription.
