With the slogan “Innovations in medical technology” Parliamentary Secretaries of State, Ernst Burgbacher (German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology), Thomas Ilka (German Federal Ministry of Health) and Dr. Georg Schuette (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research), visited the MEDICA medical show in Duesseldorf this year. Managing Director Bert Sutter welcomed the three secretaries of state at the booth of Sutter Medizintechnik on the opening day of the MEDICA and presented the Sutter company to them. They stayed on for constructive discussions about “regulatory obstacles in an international setting” and the promotion of innovations for small and medium-sized medical device companies.
