Dr. Sennewald Medizintechnik GmbH

Dr. Sennewald Medizintechnik GmbH

was founded in 1985 by Dr. Gerhard Sennewald in Munich with the goal of discovering trendsetting electro-medical systems and that provided innovative and beneficial medical treatments and introducing them in Europe. From the beginning, cancer therapy was in the forefront of the company, with a focus on regional and local hyperthermia. Hyperthermia is a clinically researched and gentle treatment that is used to destroy tumor cells through targeted heating of the tumor. In 1985, our company installed the first deep hyperthermia system in the radiotherapy department of Essen University Hospital. Since that initial installation, hyperthermia systems have been installed in twelve renowned German hospitals, as well as in additional eight prestigious hyperthermia centers in the rest of Europe, including the Munich-Großhadern University Hospital, Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, the Erlangen University Hospital, the Heinrich-Heine University Hospital in Düsseldorf and the Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam.

The success of Dr. Sennewald Medizintechnik GmbH is based mainly on continuity. All of Dr. Sennewald‘s entrepreneurial decisions, both internal and external, are based on long-term careful analysis of the market and business trends and dedication to his customers and his business. In that spirit, his long-term employees shape the company and management decisions throughout the different departments using their high level of qualification and motivation, and a clear perspective.

Product management

Martin Wadepohl provides product management as an interface between the clinical application and the technology of the hyperthermia systems. Due to his many years of experience with hospitals, researchers and developers, he knows the clinical requirements of customers and the precise technical specifications of all the systems. Product management supports the decentralized resident sales force in all technical concerns and is also responsible for the medical-scientific support. In addition, product management coordinates the software developments and adherence to legal directives.

Vision and communication

Monica Sennewald is managing and producing the corporate communication channels (company brochures, websites, and congresses) and is also responsible for the publicity work of the company, in direct coordination with the business management.

Engineering

Providing expert customer service, including installation and maintenance of the hyperthermia systems, is an important part of the company strategy. This service area is decentrally organized to be as close to customers as possible. Engineer Günter Futschik and his highly specialized team of service engineers and technicians are available at short notice for maintenance, service and repairs. In addition, the engineering customer support includes planning, installation and set-up of the therapy systems. Our specialists from engineering and product management also provide thorough application training and are available to address all questions regarding the application of the systems.

Long-term cooperation models with sales and service partners shape our corporate strategy. With this in mind, a highly respected partner was found in the market leader, BSD Medical Corporation from the USA. We have been selling their systems with great success throughout Europe since 1985.
