New, natural ways in joint disorders and sports injuries

Together with Klaus Wehling and the biologist Dr. Julio Reinecke, Professor Dr. med. Peter Wehling founded the company ORTHOGEN in 1993. This was inspired by his research for American universities, where the world-renowned osteoarthritis specialist was looking for a gentle, joint-preserving alternative to the traditional surgical methods. ORTHOGEN Lab Services GmbH is a subsidiary of ORTHOGEN AG. Since 2002, ORTHOGEN Lab Services GmbH has been globally distributing a patented medical device – the EOT®II syringe. This device is typically used by office-based physicians for preparing autologous conditioned serum (ACS). The ORTHOGEN Group conducts its research and development as well as its manufacturing in Germany. And in the future? The makers have big plans.
In addition to Professor Dr. med. Peter Wehling, Dr. rer. nat. Julio Reinecke (Head of Research and Development of ORTHOGEN AG), Dr. med. Tanju Kaptan (Medical Director of ORTHOGEN AG) and Dr. rer. nat. Hendrik Rönsch (Managing Director of ORTHOGEN Lab Services GmbH) are the masterminds of the ORTHOGEN-Gruppe.
