On July 30, 2026, our disposable endoscope designed specifically for gastric cancer screening was featured in Nikkei Medical, a professional medical publication.
The article introduced the prototype unveiled at our press conference on July 1, highlighting its lightweight design of approximately 100 g, ultra-slim scope with an outer diameter of approximately 4.2 mm, and our target cost of approximately JPY 6,000 per unit.
The article also highlighted the potential of the disposable design to eliminate cleaning and disinfection processes, improve examination efficiency, and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
We will continue to advance technological development to address the challenges of gastric cancer screening and contribute to creating an environment in which more people can undergo endoscopic screening with confidence.
