In the hospital sector, we offer a broad product portfolio of medical equipment and consumables with a focus on anesthesia and intensive care medicine, internal medicine and pneumology, sleep medicine, neonatology and obstetrics, and emergency medicine. In the homecare sector, our focus is on sleep apnea therapy, oxygen supply, home ventilation, secretion mobilization and outpatient pain therapy.

Social Commitment
Platinum Partner of LICHT INS DUNKEL
LICHT INS DUNKEL is a unique aid campaign in Europe that has stood for social cohesion for 49 years. The focus of the non-profit organization is on supporting physically and intellectually impaired people as well as psychosocially disadvantaged families with children.
As a Platinum Partner of LICHT INS DUNKEL, we are pleased to be able to support families in need in Austria with our donation.
PULS - Association to combat sudden cardiac death
PULS is a non-profit association that is neutral and non-political in the fight against sudden cardiac death. Under the motto "call - press - shock", the aim is to raise awareness that all people can provide this first aid, because the time until professional help arrives can make the difference between life and death. This is ensured through training, public relations work (e.g. campaigns and projects to raise awareness among the population), studies and the expansion of the defibrillator network.
Partner of Hilfe im eigenen Land
Hilfe im eigenen Land is an Austria-wide aid organization that provides rapid and sustainable support to people in financial need. The one-off emergency financial aid goes directly to people whose income situation is changed by an accident, illness or other stroke of fate in such a way that they are unable to cope from one day to the next.
We are pleased to be able to support the organization with our donation. "The people to whom we are a support give us our footing in life." (Maria von Ebner-Eschenbach)
Partner of Wiener Hilfswerk
Wiener Hilfswerk provides support in the field of mobile care and social services, childcare and assistance for the homeless and refugees, and operates day centers and shared apartments for senior citizens, neighborhood centers, recreational facilities for people with and without disabilities, and social markets.
Through its dense network of facilities and services for young and old, the organization provides the assistance needed in different life situations. We are pleased to be able to support and make an important contribution with our donation.
Partner of the CliniClowns
For over 30 years, the CliniClowns Austria have been conjuring up magical moments with their visits to seriously ill children, adults and geriatric patients in hospitals, geriatric centers and nursing homes. They bring a zest for life to patients' bedsides, helping them to recover and giving them a break from pain and fear. With our donation, we are pleased to contribute to giving seriously ill children and adults moments of joy and light-heartedness and putting a smile on their faces. Those who laugh do not give up. It's more than a smile, it's hope!
Support group member of the Austrian Waking Coma Society
Around 150 people fall into a "vegetative state" every year in Austria. The "Österreichische Wachkoma Gesellschaft" was therefore founded on May 30, 2001 to improve the overall situation for people in a vegetative state in Austria. The ÖWG offers advice and support to care facilities and caring relatives in order to give those affected the chance to lead a self-determined life within the scope of their individual possibilities.
We are pleased to support the ÖWG in this endeavor.
