MDR Certification for Joline Spine Product Portfolio and Long Term Dialysis Catheters
Hechingen, March 2026 – Joline is delighted to announce the successful MDR certification of two central product areas: the Spine product portfolio as well as the Long Term Dialysis Catheters have fully met the requirements of the European Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR).
The cardiology portfolio received MDR certification already in 2020. In autumn 2025 the endomyocardial biopsy forceps KNIPSA500 was successfully re-certified under MDR, while the portfolio addition KNIPSA1100 was certified under the increased MDR requirements. This means that the KNIPSA biopsy forceps is now available in two lengths, each intended for different access routes.
These certifications confirm the safety and performance of the products in clinical use and ensure their continuous availability for daily patient care. This achievement highlights Joline’s strong commitment to patient safety, product quality, and compliance with the strictest European regulations.
MDR-Certified Spine Portfolio
The entire Joline Spine product portfolio meets the requirements of the MDR. The MDR certification confirms the continuous development of high‑quality solutions in the field of kyphoplasty and Quattroplasty® and provides both clinicians and patients with the assurance that they can continue to rely on Joline’s proven products in the long term.

MDR Certification for Long Term Dialysis Catheters
Joline’s Long Term Dialysis catheters have also successfully received MDR certification. These products have provided reliable solutions for dialysis care for many years. The MDR certification once again confirms the high manufacturing quality and consistent alignment with international safety and performance standards.
We expect MDR certification for the Joline short-term dialysis catheters by the first quarter of 2027 at the latest.
