About KreativbüroHipp
KreativbüroHipp is a sole proprietorship founded in 1990 by Lothar Hipp and based in Tuttlingen, Baden-Württemberg, in the heart of the German medical technology industry. The company supports customers from the initial idea through design to series production. The portfolio includes surgical instruments manufactured using classical instrument-making methods combined with modern CNC technology, functionally designed implants, and containers for the protection, transport, storage, cleaning and sterilization of instruments and implants. In addition, the company offers 3D-printed samples of implants, instruments and containers, 3D visualizations for product documentation, apparatus and equipment construction, automation technology, jig and fixture building, as well as the creation and digitization of drawings. Another focus is the preparation of MDR- and FDA-compliant development documentation including Design History Files, as well as project management. In 2020, Lothar Hipp also founded the company Riptide.
