Minimally invasive treatment is becoming a mainstream in the medical care across the world, as it leads to improved quality of life for patients. Medico's Hirata was one of the first companies to focus on catheter intervention and we have continued to grow as a specialized trading company by introducing state-of-the-art medical devices for minimally invasive treatment to the medical facilities in Japan. The past 100 years have fostered our pride and enthusiasm in advancing the Japanese medical industry.

In order to introduce a new medical device, it is essential to obtain regulatory approval which requires a complicated application procedure. We have established a solid in-house structure for regulatory work including the ability to conduct clinical trials. We have built up a significant track record, especially with the challenging work of Class IV devices. Our regulatory capabilities and deep understanding of the Japanese medical industry has enabled us to become a leading trading company in Japan. Futhermore, we have joint development partnerships with our manufacturers both at home and abroad, to bring even more optimized products to Japanese market.
We are also now starting to export our own high quality devices developed in-house to other international markets.

We take pride in always striving to innovate and learn how we can improve our practices. We believe that in order to supply safe, effective and advanced medical care, we must be constantly learning and striving to bring the latest and best technologies to the Japanese market. We are committed to taking on new challenges and evolving our business to advance minimally invasive medical care accross the globe.

We are living in a revolutionary age. Not only in the medical industry, but various other fields are entering a phase of major change. Living in a such transformative era, companies need to evolve at all times. Embracing such rapid change, Medico's Hirata wants to partner with visionary businesses, working actively and energetically to develop long-term relationships and help shape the future of the healthcare industry. After 100 years we are committed to keep on evolving and advancing forward with our entrepreneurial spirit that has been driving us since the day we were founded.
