The family-owned business was founded in 2011 and offers state-of-the-art instruments. Their sterile, disposable, single-use instruments for dermatological use are developed and produced in Germany.
1. Biopsy punch: cylindric cutting edge with handle for taking skin biopsies. Available in 6 diameters (2-8 mm), protection cap, plate on the rear end for standing up.
2. Curette: ring scalpel for removing skin abnormalities, like warts, seborrheic warts, molluscae etc. Available in 2 diameters (4 and 7mm) with extremely sharp round blade of hardened stainless steel.
