Medico's Hirata Inc. Medical Corporation is a manufacturing company from the sale of medical equipment. We hold regular seminars to conferences.

Medico's Hirata's number one objective is "safety and reassurance". We work to offer medical institutions low-invasive devices to minimize burdens on patients.

It has been a while since the importance of QOL (Quality of life) has been raised and we are now in a time when quality of medical services is being sought after.

This means delivering information and products needed by medical institutions, in order to achieve better medical care. 

For these purposes, information gathering, negotiation with the manufacturers, regulatory approval, quality control, and taking safety measures are vital.

What could we do as a distributor of medical devices, to improve medical care? We found the answer in the field of state-of-the-art healthcare.

There are many cutting-edge medical devices around the globe that are yet to be introduced to Japan.

 

We hope that by bringing these products to the market and having them used safely and appropriately in Japan would prove to be beneficial to healthcare professionals and patients.

However, finding medical devices abroad and introducing them to Japan alone won’t mean that we have contributed to the development of healthcare.

We need to have abundant information on relevant techniques and cases, and depending on the situation, we need to deliver the information with added value.

This would build trust from healthcare professionals, and would further lead to benefitting patients.

We deliver high-caliber technologies and products to medical care forefronts and promote their proper use.

Lots of new and innovative medical devices have been released one after another in other countries. However, many of them are not approved in Japan or take time for approval.

All medical devices needs approval, certification or notification by Japanese regulatory authority prior to release in Japan, even if they have been already FDA or CE approved.

We seek to reduce device lag and to make the introduction of cutting-edge devices from overseas a smoother one. We do this by going through a careful but prompt approval process which involves verifying the product's safety and efficacy, gathering trial data from overseas as well as performing trials in Japan. We have got various innovative devices to the Japanese market fast, such as IVC filters, coronary stents, esophageal stents, biliary stents, embolization coils, endovascular stent grafts, etc.

In order to fulfill this process more smoothly, we builds an excellent network for close communication with healthcare professionals, relevant authorities, and manufacturers around the world.
