About LOSCH Medical
LOSCH Medical GmbH is a owner-managed medical technology company specializing in cementation technology for orthopedics and trauma surgery. Since 2019, the company has been developing and manufacturing practical solutions for all areas of cementation technology – from cleansing of the implant site and vacuum mixing to the application of bone cement. The portfolio includes the reusable, mains-powered pulse lavage system NEPTUNUS eMotion, the NEPTUN Mix cement mixing systems, the high-viscosity, gentamicin-containing bone cement NEPTUN Fix, the resorbable cement stopper NEPTUN Plug, aluminum sterilization trays, and surgical instruments such as saw blades, drill pins, and MIS burrs. Production takes place in Germany; irrigation attachments and flexible components are phthalate-free, PVC-free, and latex-free. Products are developed in close collaboration with practitioners and are complemented by workshops, training courses, and a digital master data service. Since 2022, LOSCH Medical together with INTERATIO-MediTec Deutschland und Österreich GmbH has formed the LOSCH healthcare Group, rooted at the Steinach near Straubing site in Lower Bavaria.

Materials & Processes
Aluminum
Used, for example, in the one-piece, resterilizable handpiece housing of the NEPTUNUS eMotion system as well as in transport and sterilization trays (NEPTUN Tray).
Bone cement (high-viscosity, with gentamicin)
NEPTUN Fix high-viscosity bone cement with gentamicin for cemented endoprosthetics.
Phthalate-free, PVC-free and latex-free plastics
Flexible components of the irrigation sets with the "Phthalate Free" seal for patient safety and environmental compatibility.
Resorbable material
NEPTUN Plug cement stopper prevents the bone cement from migrating deeper and ensures even distribution.
