Special Features for 2013 Medical Endoscope Business Potential
Copyright 2013 © HOYA CORPORATION
Global network
Minimally invasive medical treatment is designed to minimize pain, fever, bleeding, scar formation, and other
manifestations in the patient's body that are, associated with surgery or medical treatment. The benefits of this
method (such as reduced pain and shortening of hospital stays) have proved attractive not only to patients but
also to national governments seeking to restrain the growth of expenditures for medical care. The medical
endoscope is indispensable for minimally invasive medical treatment. Importantly, it facilitates early detection,
accurate diagnosis, and reduced ancillary effects of the treatment (and surgery) on the patient, playing a vital
role in all those processes.
HOYA has a global network of bases for R&D, sales and marketing, and customer service for its endoscope
business. Overseas group companies in 14 countries and R&D bases in Japan, the U.S., and Germany are
promoting development and use of products that match the needs of each local market.
