Studies and
publications

On solid foundation

Our realization of new developments and improvements of medical devices is also being made possible by longterm relationships with medical, biological, technical and scientifical institutions and related research projects.

In the following you will find a listing of scientific studies as well as a few scientific publications about hydrodissection and water-jet assisted harvesting, processing and grafting (WAL).

If you are interested in reading one or more of the listed scientific studies, please contact us via our contact form. We offer a password protected login-area for expert groups.
