To answer the big demand on protective facial wear in the current time of COVID-19 pandemic, we are meeting your expectations with our newest product: Protective Face Mask.

Due to the World Health Organizations' recommendation to limit the risk of exportation or importation of the Novel coronavirus (Covid-19), we are unfortunately forced to cancel the March edition of the Shanghai Uniportal VATS Training that we organize in collaboration with the Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital. All participants, who registered for this edition are welcomed to take part in the additional training that has been scheduled for December 7 - 19th, 2020.

At the end of January we had the pleasure to accompany the ever so busy Dr. Diego Gonzales Rivas during his trip to Africa, where he visited the Mulago NAtional Specialised Hospital in Kampala, Uganda to perform operations and teach masterclass. Grena provided the materials needed for the operations and masterclass: our polymer ligating clips, articulating endoscopic clip appliers and our prototype articulating endoscopic scissors.

We are happy to inform that in 2020 we will continue our cooperation with the Fundació Puigvert and support the Surgical Immersions Workshop in Barcelona, Spain.

We are happy to inform that in 2020 we continue our cooperation with the Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital and support the Uniportal VATS Training Course.

During last weeks' European Pool Championships organized by the CMAS in Istanbul, Turkey our sponsored freediver Matt Malina proved the impossible once again.

Last week on June 11th and 12th, 2019 we had the pleasure to host some of our international distributors at our office in Nottingham for a Product Training.

We are pleased to inform that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has published a new patent for our product Click'aV Plus on 23 April 2019.

The patent is valid for the area of the United Stated for now, but we also started an international procedure to patent this product in other countries.

If you have ever wondered how a day in the life of top Uniportal VATS surgeon Diego Gonzalez Rivas looks like, Mandeo Records produced a short movie to take a glimpse at it, while in Shanghai, China.

Last November we celebrated the five-year anniversary of the Uniportal VATS training at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, that is being held at the high-volume hospital in Shanghai, China. Participants usually are able to see up to 50-60 VATS surgeries every day in the OR (14 operation rooms). Dr Diego Gonzalez Rivas performes 4-5 uniportal VATS major resections per day during this course. Watch the video about the training!

Congratulations to Prof Gening Jiang and Diego Gonzalez Rivas for receiving the National Chinese Medical Award with the Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital team.
