Swedish MedTech Production in Focus as Vulnerability Increases.
Recent global disruptions have clearly shown how vulnerable supply chains can be. For us, local production in Sweden is therefore not just a choice, it’s a strategic necessity.
MDR and Traceability
– What Does It Mean for You as a Buyer?? Medical devices are subject to one of the most comprehensive regulatory frameworks in the EU: the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). For buyers, procurement professionals and healthcare managers, this means both new requirements and increased assurance. What is MDR? MDR (EU 2017/745) is the EU regulation […]

CETRO® Cordring
Healthcare’s Journey from Improvisation to, A Thoughtfully Designed Solution for Safe and Gentle Umbilical Cord Occlusion
Speculum, an indispensable tool with historical roots and modern possibilities
Today’s pelvic examination has its origins in a rather dramatic moment in medical history. According to legend, a surgeon in the 1800s bent a spoon to gain better visibility during a gynecological exam and thus laid the foundation for what would become the vaginal speculum.
Pessary Rings
Pelvic organ prolapse, also known as prolapse, is a common condition that can affect women of all ages, especially after pregnancy, childbirth, or during menopause. Symptoms vary from a feeling of heaviness in the pelvic area to visible prolapse and impact on bladder or bowel function. Today, pessary rings are an effective, gentle, and non-surgical aid that can significantly relieve symptoms and in some cases, eliminate the need for surgery altogether.
Why Head Circumference Is Measured in Newborns
Measuring a newborn’s head circumference is one of the most basic, yet most important, routines performed in maternity wards, delivery rooms, and pediatric units. It provides early and valuable information about a child’s neurological development and is used worldwide as a standard metric in newborn care.
A Safer Start in Life
Just a few decades ago, childbirth and early neonatal care looked very different from today. Many procedures that are now performed with precision and with the help of advanced, purpose-built products were once handled with simpler, often improvised solutions. This was especially true when it came to umbilical cord care, a detail that plays a crucial role in a baby’s first moments of life.
Amniotomy
Breaking the amniotic sac, known as amniotomy or artificial rupture of membranes (AROM), is one of the most frequently performed interventions during labor. The procedure involves making a small opening in the amniotic membranes to release the fluid, which can help to accelerate or facilitate labor. Despite its widespread use, the practice has been questioned, by researchers and midwives alike.
