A fortnight ago, LIME went to Münster to attend the Hand Congress of the German Society for Hand Surgery (DGH) and the German Working Group for Hand Therapy (DAHTH). As the most important innovation in the development of our AnyHand, we were able to report the approval as a medical product granted in May. The CE certification now allows the application on patients' hands. The AnyHand is now ready for distribution and the congress was therefore an important event in our schedule.

Tanzyna Our highlight was to speak on stage in Münster in front of numerous members of the DGH and DAHTH about the application of AnyHand in therapeutic practice. It was a great benefit that in the past few months four test positions could already be carried out at various hand therapy practices. In this way, numerous patients with different indications have already been able to test the AnyHand. These examples of use are not only an excellent opportunity to show the areas of application, but also an important source of feedback from the therapist's and patient's point of view.

The presence of two experienced LIME representatives made it possible to have many interesting conversations with the visitors. We were particularly pleased to see many familiar faces that we already knew from other trade congresses. We had updated our stand especially for the Hand Congress and equipped it with a new illuminated wall: it now shows the AnyHand with the patient's hand inserted.
Pascal and Detlef at our new exhibition stand Due to the Corona pandemic, many trade fairs and congresses understandably had to be cancelled this year. We were therefore very pleased that the congress in Münster could take place under the necessary hygiene measures. "The number of visitors was lower than last year - that was to be expected. Nevertheless, the event was a very important date for LIME, especially because we are in the middle of the market entry phase," summarises founder Pascal.
In this sense, we look back on a successful congress and are very happy about the newly established and refreshed contacts. Finally, we hope that next year's Hand Congress can take place again under the usual conditions.
