About Us
Innovation - Application – Precision
We have created an organization focused on quality that has achieved the highest international recognition, being awarded CE and ISO 13485 Certification from TÜV SÜD Products Service in Munich, and the ISO 9001:2008 award for its management systems from TÜV SÜD America – remarkable achievements.
Manufacturing
Our manufacturing facilities are constructed and managed to international standards. Full clean room facilities, from 10,000 to 100,000 reflect the highest standards of care and commitment to total quality management. This has earned us an enviable reputation backed by global certification and accreditation by leading regulatory bodies around the world; including TUV SUD Munich, ANVISA, Korean FDA, US FDA, SFDA and CE.
Research and Development
Since our inception in 2003, we have invested much time and effort into Research and Development which has led to more than 50 domestic and international patents and applications granted. We have also formed partnerships with leading academic and scientific institutions focused on improving core products and developing new technology. Key areas of research include: Laparoscopic Stapling Devices, Novel Anastomotic Techniques, Visualisation Technologies, and Energy Based Devices.
Our Mission
At Frankenman it is our mission to create an organisation that is valued, respected and successful in the global medical device marketplace by an ongoing process of inspection, innovation and overall improvement.
We strive to create an organisation that is committed to total quality in our manufacturing process and one that engages only in ethical selling.
Above all else, we are working to create an organization that provides high quality, yet cost effective medical devices that restore health and improve the quality of life for patients worldwide.
Our Commitment To You
When you put patients' health first, remarkable things follow. Like quality design for example – and since we're putting health first – we test that design as strenuously as possible. We test it ourselves and have others test it, and then go back if necessary, to incorporate what we've learned into the manufacturing process.
At Frankenman, we devote all of your energy into all the key aspects of our trade. From research and development, to product quality assurance, to end-user cost reduction and much more.
We're not just in the business of making instruments, we also want to make surgeries more successful. We listen to doctors who have put our instruments to use – we read their reports. We invite them to talk with us, to think with us, to brainstorm.
For us, continual improvement and innovation are not buzzwords, but a practice. Put simply, in this business you have two choices; you can put the manufacturing needs in front of the patient, or the patients' needs in front of the manufacturing process – we choose the latter.
Our Vision
We have always operated under the notion that when you put health first, you test everything as strenuously as possible. You test it yourself and have others test it for you. You ask questions, you go back if necessary, and you incorporate what you’ve learned into the process, from start to finish.
Our vision, and that of our ever-growing distributor network, relies heavily on this notion. We also strongly believe in the idea of responsiveness and willingness to listen to our customers and understand the needs of the market to continually improve upon our product offering.
All of our work is done with this clear, concise vision in mind. By doing so, we hope to create products that meet, and exceed, the demands of an increasingly complex worldwide marketplace while also keeping true to ourselves by continuing to put health first.
History
Frankenman’s range of surgical staplers is the culmination of many years of hard work, dedication and commitment by a very talented team of international engineers and clinicians with experience and expertise in many different areas of their discipline.
Through the ongoing efforts of our technicians, our expert sales and marketing staff and our team of educated product specialists, Frankenman has been able to deliver quality products to the market through a highly sophisticated and ever-growing global network of specialized distributors.
Frankenman Firsts
Since Frankenman was established in 2003, we have developed a long standing, and trusted reputation in a very competitive market, historically dominated by a “duopoly”.
The platform which allowed us to establish Frankenman as the 3rd largest supplier of Surgical Staplers on the planet, was one of “Innovation”.
We are proud to have been the “First” with many initiatives over the years. Creativity and Innovation are the cornerstones of our philosophy.
Frankenman has also been first to market, with many innovations to existing, long standing technologies. Most of these innovations were developed by working in close partnership with an advisory panel of world class surgeons from around the globe. The rationale for each of these developments was a fundamental desire to improve clinical outcomes for our patients.
We believe that these innovative initiatives, devices and adaptations (some of which are detailed below) have lead to significantly improved patient outcomes, and increased patient safety in many surgical areas.
