The Charitee has been around since 1984, the AlphaKlinik were implanting them in 1989.

19th of this month it was the 22nd anniversary of the first implantation of the first Charite'. Karin Buettner-Janz, the co-inventor of the Charite' was celebrating. Asked if her first patient was the man that we always see presented at the conferences... still playing tennis? She said, that "yes, he's the guy". She recently got an update from him with more tennis videos - 22 years post-op!!!
Best,
Alastair
