| Medica Und Compamed 2006 The world's medical fair MEDICA plus ComPaMED, the international trade fair for upstream supplies in medical production, have impressively confirmed their position as the global hub in the medical sector. During fair runtime the organisers registered a total of 137, 500 trade visitors. Over the four days of the fair organisers registered a total of 137, 500 trade visitors including those attending the accompanying MEDICA Congress and the German Hospital Conference "Deutscher Krankenhaustag". Around 40% of visitors came from abroad with a rise in trade visitors particularly from the new EU states. The 38th World Forum for Medicine showcased the entire spectrum of new products, services and procedures for use in doctors' surgeries and clinics. Alongside the traditionally very popular fields of medical technology and electro medicine, this time physiotherapeutic procedures and medical IT were also in greater demand. MEDICA also once again justified its reputation as a sectoral event for decision-makers. Зerformance-related insights – specifically also from German research and development in the field of medical technology – were already conveyed in MEDICA's opening event during which German Federal Minister for Research Dr. Annette Schaven awarded this year's prize-winners of the "Innovation Competition for the Promotion of Medical Technology". Winners, for instance, included projects from Duisburg-Essen University (high-resolution full-body scans), Bochum University (photo-acoustic imaging for the early diagnosis of breast cancer), the Medical Clinic Berlin (a special filter system for removing antibodies from the blood) and TemplaTech GmbH Darmstadt (treatment of bladder infections with silver ion implants). write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Exhibition News :: home page |
