About Achim Schulz-Lauterbach
Achim Schulz-Lauterbach Vertrieb medizinischer Produkte GmbH, headquartered in Iserlohn, was founded in 1984 as a distribution company and has been supplying hospitals in the fields of nephrology, intensive care, vascular surgery and cardiology for over 40 years. The portfolio includes short- and long-term vascular access devices for extracorporeal blood purification – including dialysis catheters made of thermosensitive polyurethane, silicone and Carbothane with nitinol guidewires – as well as stainless-steel endomyocardial biopsy forceps and accessories such as tubing clamps, tubing and dilators. The products are developed and manufactured in Germany by the parent company Joline GmbH & Co. KG; the production materials are biocompatible plastics and stainless steel. Thanks to central warehousing, hospitals are supplied on the next working day. A single subsidiary in Vienna serves the Austrian market. Individual training sessions for medical staff on catheter implantation and care complete the offering.
