About heckel medizintechnik
heckel medizintechnik GmbH, based in Esslingen am Neckar, develops and distributes medical hyperthermia devices for use in oncology and naturopathy. The company is a strategic partner of Hydrosun Medizintechnik GmbH from Müllheim, the manufacturer of the heckel-HT3000 and hydrosun®TWH1500 systems. The devices work with water-filtered infrared A (wIRA), a non-contact method for delivering thermal energy into human tissue: in sealed water-filled cuvettes, those wavelengths that would be absorbed in the topmost skin layers are filtered out, thereby achieving greater penetration depth and energy input. The product range includes whole-body hyperthermia systems as well as systems for superficial hyperthermia for irresectable superficial tumors. In oncology, hyperthermia can act as a sensitizer for radio-, chemo- and immunotherapy. The website and publications are available in German and English; the company also supplies clinics internationally, most recently in Azerbaijan.
