Background of B. Braun Hospicare
Today B. Braun Hospicare is the Center of Excellence for acute and chronic wound care dressings within the B. Braun Group but how did it all begin?
Hospicare was founded in 1984 and developed as a production site for B. Braun Wound Care products.
Hospicare was a subsidiary of Biotrol which was acquired by Merck Clevenot in 1992. Merck kept the diagnostic activity of Biotrol but sold the medical department (including stoma, wound) to B. Braun.
B. Braun acquired this new know-how to support the development of OPM needs in non hospital markets, especially home care patients with chronic wound conditions.
The thought was to expand Biotrol on an international level and selectively address some market and production needs.
Step by step we invested in our own product development. It all started with chronic wound care, there were some basic post-op and hydrocolloid dressings but most of the production at that time was for stoma bags for the UK market.
Today, we produce 24 different product lines and on the whole 380 SKU’S. The vast majority are developed by B. Braun.
