Königsee Implantate is a good partner with regard to the handicraft production of medical implants. First ideas for cooperating projects have been collected and they are manifold. Already in a few weeks the first project-idea is to be implemented.

Colleagues run for a good cause
10.06.2011

After last years participation Königsee Implantate fulfilled its announcement to join the next time with a larger group. The Company Run took place for the 3rd time. Among the 260 starting teams from various institutions and companies Königsee joint with 34 colleagues for the 5km-run through the city of Erfurt. This means we could spark interest from 11 more persons for this team challenge.
Frank Orschler, CEO of Königsee Implantate, ran this year   in the front group and is happy that such a big group of engaged colleagues joint the run. As last year he   motivated his employees to join the run with a donation   of € 20,-- per each of them for a good cause – chosen by the participants.
"Daily our team works hard to get medical implants in time to patients world wide. We do know that we are lucky to be able to move, work and take care of our families. Unfortunately this is not always the case for all people.

[f. l. t. r.] happily on their way to finish.
Knowing this I was very happy to take part with such a large group. For one: The charitable institution profits from the participation. For two: Health and fitness of the colleagues is improved. The training for the next year has started."
       The enthusiasm of a few sparked the interest of more colleagues. Now, a tradition appears to begin. After the survived 5-km-run everyone was excited and proud to have overthrown the inner resistance of tiring running.
After a short break the training for the next year will start.
Great interest in Königsee-Workshops
29.03.2011
Already for the third time Königsee Implantate organized a workshop for distributors and doctors from various countries. Again, all available places were taken. This time the participants could focus on surgical accesses at the upper and lower extremity.

In the dissecting room of the Anatomical Institut of the University in Jena		 Dr. Rosemarie Fröber, senior physician and part of the team in the Anatomical Institute of the Friedrich-Schiller-University in Jena, provided her great knowledge about bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and vessels last week not only with medical students. Altogether over 30 participants from Columbia, Costa Rica, Poland, Russia, Lebanon, China, CzechRepublic, Italy and Estonia came to Jena to test the operative use of the implants from the Thuringian forest. The participants were instructed and taken care of during the operational phases by Dr. Iris Trompler, head of the department traumatology and orthopaedics in Schwabach and by Erik Erlekampf, head surgeon traumatology in Fulda.
The workshop was approved by the municipal doctors association as further training course. All participants received certification and training points which they can also use in their respective countries – thanks to the EU. Now standardized, the workshop-offer for Königsee customers will be extendet and continued.
Internship abroad – 4 weeks in Sweden
30.11.2010
Victoria Schubanova, trainee for office manager at Königsee Implatate, is already back in Germany. She used the unique opportunity to get to know a slightly different office life. And this she did in October in Linköping, Sweden. "Many things were different there. Especially the friendly and warm welcome in the 'Swedish office family' at the beginning, the high technical standard (there was a surgery simulator!), and large simulated operating rooms, in which 4 workshops can take place simultaneously, have really impressed me."
Due to an intensive English course it was very easy to communicate with the Swedes because: "The Swedes are all very good in English." Victoria was immediately integrated into the everyday work and supported the team in preparing the workshops. She was responsible for providing the implants, instruments and information material and even assisted during the workshop, because the implants she knew already from Germany. Besides the daily office duties, she represented Königsee at Swedish hospitals, processed customer orders as in Germany and was able to get to know the other side of sales. Namely, the side of the Swedish customer who orders the Königsee products. Overall, for the company, our distribution partner and of course for Victoria it was a new kind of communication. Her conclusion:
Part of the team in Linköping: Victoria [5th f. r.]
"Each trainee should use the opportunity for an internship abroad!" Such Internships are encouraged by the educational and service institution Gera supported with resources from the European Social Fund.
