HealthTextiles, a company specializing in multi-use surgical clothing, announces the recruitment of the legendary surgeon and associate professor Lennart Hovelius to their Advisory Board. Hovelius, who served as the team doctor for Tre Kronor during the 2006 Olympic gold and four World Championship golds in ice hockey, will bring both medical and athletic expertise to HealthTextiles.
”The recruitment of Lennart Hovelius to our Advisory Board is a significant impact for HealthTextiles,” says Tomas Persson, chairman of HealthTextiles. ”With Hovelius’ extensive experience as a surgeon and national team doctor for Sweden in ice hockey, he will strengthen the company’s medical and athletic expertise in the new niche of multi-use surgical clothing.”
Hovelius was elected to the HealthTextiles Advisory Board by the board in April and, like the company, is based in Gävle. The Advisory Board plays a central role for HealthTextiles by providing expert advice to the board in various areas.
The relationship between Hovelius and the founding family dates back to the 1980s when Torgny Persson, a board member of Brynäs and later the tournament manager for the Junior World Championships in 1992 and the Ice Hockey World Championships in 1995 in Gävle, first met Hovelius. Persson wanted Hovelius as the tournament doctor for both events, which indeed happened.
Torgny Persson emphasizes the importance of having medical expertise in healthcare for HealthTextiles and their customers.
”There is no one better than Lennart Hovelius with his extensive experience as an associate professor, Swedish national team doctor, surgeon, and orthopedic surgeon. Hovelius will bring the immense medical and athletic expertise that HealthTextiles needs.”
HealthTextiles aims to specifically target surgeons as a customer group and is aware of the importance of understanding their needs and preferences. Knowledge of the customer and an understanding of healthcare are crucial for HealthTextiles as they venture into multi-use surgical clothing. Therefore, the company needs to strengthen the medical expertise within the Advisory Board and enhance its understanding of healthcare.
”Customers are undergoing a transformation process post-pandemic, transitioning from single-use garments to multi-use garments for surgical clothing. This has already happened in Region Skåne, and we anticipate a similar trend in the market,” says Tomas Persson.
