This year, Sutter Medizintechnik GmbH held its 6th International Sutter Distributor Conference in the beautiful city of Stockholm. The event is popular with distributors from Europe and the Asia-Pacific region as it combines fun events, learning situations and the exchange of ideas and market experience.

This year the focus was on the introduction of new Sutter products such as the 4RHINO relaunch with new software and the single-use bipolar RaVoR™ probes. 

A highlight of the event was the presentation by Dr. Clemens Heiser where he emphasized the clinical benefits of radiofrequency and the CURIS® for head & neck tumors. In his opinion there is ‘no better technology for oral, throat and supraglottic larynx tumors’. The expensive laser that they have in their department is no longer used for these tumors because the CURIS® is faster in the application and better in the outcomes. 

Dr. Elmar Oestreicher was similarly enthusiastic when talking about facial plastic applications. Besides the beauty of the CURIS® for the resection of basal cell carcinoma and performing blepharoplasties, he demonstrated with videos how he can remove facial fibromas within seconds. He performs this simple and privately paid application more than 100 times per year. And the patients are surprised at how easy and painless the procedure is. This was valuable food for thought for the Sutter Med distributors as it highlights the wide range of indications for the CURIS.

The feedback from the participants was once again very positive: the SDC is a valuable and enjoyable event. We thank all speakers and the attendees for a successful and valuable conference.
