Combining the highest achievable standards
When developing a medical product, it is not merely about what function the product needs to serve. It is also about how product requirements and production options can best be combined. We need experts from various different disciplines. Experts such as Laura Blocquel and Grégory Vallé. She works as a Project Manager in Research and Development, and he is a Project Manager in Production.
Making good things even better
Working together in Nogent-Le-Rotrou, France, they develop new concepts for Actreen® catheters, which help people with continence problems to empty their bladder unaided. Furthermore, by making modifications to production facilities, Laura Blocquel and Grégory Vallé ensure that B. Braun is able to manufacture the required number of products.
Cooperation between all experts
During the manufacturing process, many factors need to be considered. Devices are installed and put into operation under cleanroom conditions. This is the only way to guarantee product sterility. B. Braun is able to fulfill this requirement through the close cooperation of all those involved. What motivates our employees above all is our informal atmosphere, where each employee is shown the importance of his or her personal contribution.
Making the day-to-day life of patients easier
In addition to peer-to-peer colleague recognition, there is actually a far greater motivation: seeing how patients are able to regain some quality of life through B. Braun products. Like David Drahonínský, for instance, who has been paralyzed since he was sixteen years old. This natural-born athlete has been in a wheelchair ever since that time, but he has not given up, dedicating himself to his studies. And he achieves ambitious goals: in 2008 he won gold in archery at the Paralympic games. He is achieving great things in a wheelchair also with the help of Actreen® catheters supplied by B. Braun.
