About
Recurrent pleural effusions and ascites caused by malignant tumors, liver cirrhosis, or heart failure severely limit patients' quality of life. Every week brings new symptoms: shortness of breath, pain, and exhaustion. Patients need repeated hospital visits for invasive puncture procedures. ewimed exists to change this. For over 30 years, the company has developed and manufactured specialized catheter drainage systems that allow patients to drain fluid safely at home, without hospitals and without pain. The ewimed supply concept includes personal training by specialized staff, ensuring patients and caregivers can use the systems confidently. This approach restores independence and dignity to people managing serious chronic conditions. With 437 employees across six European countries, ewimed combines medical expertise with genuine compassion. The company's culture is built on respect, empathy, ambition, and sustainability. Every drainage system represents more than technology - it's a pathway to self-determined living.
