Our focus is people.
For all of us, retaining our mobility is essential. In many ways, it is key to leading an independent, active life. That’s why we at LINK are driven by
the goal of enabling people who need a joint prosthesis to live a normal life, free of pain.
As an owner-managed firm, based in the city of Hamburg, we set standards in primary and revision arthroplasty of major joints. Our extensive product range means that we are
able to offer the optimal solution for each specific case and personal requirements – with high-quality, innovative and bioharmonious prostheses.
Our objectives:
- Enhanced quality of life for patients, with improved, pain-free mobility
- Highly successful outcomes of sometimes very complex procedures
- Excellent patient and physician satisfaction ensured by outstanding long-term results

Quality at all levels.
Development, materials, production – there are many factors that contribute to the quality and durability of a prosthetic joint. We have them all firmly in focus.
- Training: At LINK, training is provided to the German standard, combining college attendance with working in the company. This means we can be sure of recruiting the next generation of skilled and qualified staff members.
- Development: Our constantly growing team of development specialists, known as DERU, is dedicated to developing new products and identifying areas where we find potential for improvement. They are the driving force behind innovation at our company.
- Production: Our strength lies in the combination of manufacturing expertise and seamless quality control throughout every stage of the production process. From investment casting of the raw prosthetic joints in our own VACUCAST foundry to finishing and packaging at our Norderstedt plant, the entire production process is in-house.
- German quality – worldwide: In addition to our manufacturing operations in Germany, we also aim to be local for our international customers. Here our production plant in Beijing has a major role to play. We are also planning to establish further international operations.
