Mohs Society Europe

Society for promotion of Mohs Surgery and outpatient dermatosurgery

 

Suppliers for Mohs Surgery and outpatient dermatosurgery

Mohs Society Europe aims to promote Mohs surgery, its processes and techniques as well as dermatosurgery in an outpatient setting in Austria and Europe.

In order to be able to implement Mohs surgery, a specific dermatosurgical setting is required, which is determined by three essential aspects:

  1. Dermatosurgical procedures are executed on a high qualitative level, with regular performance of complex defect reconstructions such as flaps and grafts.
  2. Performance of the entire Mohs surgery in an outpatient setting within a few hours. Depending on the size of the defect and the associated reconstruction and due to hygienic requirements, the surgeries are performed in an invasive treatment room, a procedure room or rarely in a operating room.
  3. Implementation of intraoperative frozen section diagnosis of the histological specimen using the cryostat and on-site microscopic examination.

The above-mentioned requirements of Mohs surgery thus necessitate specific equipment, instruments, surgical consumables, laboratory supplies for frozen section diagnostics, information technology and software.

For this reason, Mohs Society Europe has started to form product groups and aims to provide an overview of international suppliers and products that are suitable for use in Mohs surgery. It is planed to prepare comparative information and carry out product tests of devices, instruments, surgical consumables, laboratory supplies, information technology and software.

Manufacturers / general importers who provide devices, instruments and surgical consumables for use in Mohs surgery and frozen section diagnostics are welcome to be included in the manufacturer and product lists if they are interested. It is also possible to expand the product groups in a meaningful way.

Doctors and staff in the field of Mohs surgery will be supplied with the information provided by the manufacturers / general importers if they are interested.

Mohs Society Europe distinguishes itself at this point as an independent promotion organization, which only passes on non-binding information in the context of promoting Mohs surgery and outpatient dermatosurgery in the private practice sector.

Any purchases are processes directly between medical doctors and manufacturers / general importers.
Mid-term goal is to provide members of the Mohs Society Europe and interested parties discounted purchasing conditions directly from the manufacturers / general importers.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.
