CORTRONIK GmbH from Rostock-Warnemünde has revolutionised cardiology. On the one hand, its medical stent for expanding blood vessels shows the best clinical data worldwide, and on the other hand, the company developed a magnesium stent that does not remain in the body but is broken down within a number of months. Both administer dosed medication using a special coating, which additionally promotes the healing process of the artery. CORTRONIK cooperates very closely with the University of Rostock, and research is an important element of the company’s activities.

Recuperative and spa forest

Our health demonstrably benefits from time spent in the forest. The forest air is low in dust and allergens, which means it has a positive effect especially for people with respiratory, cardiac and circulatory diseases. At the same time, the peacefulness and beauty of nature can help support the treatment of orthopaedic illnesses and psychosomatic illnesses such as depression.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is a pioneer in the therapeutic use of forests. In 2017, Europe’s first recuperative and spa forest was opened at the Heringsdorf Baltic resort on the island of Usedom, and Germany’s first recuperative forest for children followed suit there in 2021. There are now five official recuperative and spa forests in the state, which are certified according to strict criteria. Additional such forests are being planned and implemented.
