STORZ MEDICAL AG has been nominated together with the Berlinger Group and Sensirion AG for this year's Export Award. Every year, the prize of Switzerland Global Enterprise (S-GE) honours a company, that has developed a market development strategy tailored to its target markets, that has a clear unique selling point for its own products in international business and that is agile in dealing with export hurdles.

In February 2020, STORZ MEDICAL has received the CE approval for the MAGNETOLITH® system, which is the successor of the CELLACTOR® MT1. Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT®) with the MAGNETOLITH® opens up new possibilities in regeneration and rehabilitation. The areas of application include diseases of the musculoskeletal system such as lower back pain and tendinopathies of the rotator cuff or Achilles tendon. The non-invasive, outpatient therapy is virtually free of side effects.

40 years ago, on 7 February 1980, the first treatment of a kidney stone patient with shock waves was performed at the Department of Urology of Munich University Hospital based at the Grosshardern campus. Several STORZ MEDICAL employees from the company’s research, development and marketing departments were present to witness the historic event, which ushered in a new era in medical technology: the era of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).

For years, STORZ MEDICAL has been teaming up with medical specialists to pioneer the development of radial shock wave transmitters, which are used to treat myofascial conditions. One of the challenges that medical professionals face every day when using shock waves is ensuring that treatment of particularly sensitive and deep-lying trigger points and myofascial imbalances is gentle, effective and virtually pain-free.

For the very first time, STORZ MEDICAL will be presenting the new semi-stationary solution for SWL and endourology at the 73rd Congress of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Urologie (DGU, German Society of Urology) in Stuttgart. It consists of the MODULITH® SLK »inline« and the flat-panel detector C-arc STORZ MEDICAL X-FP-S.
