Biomedical Instruments for Treatment/Therapy

Manufacturers and distributors of Biomedical instruments

While subsidies and support during the Covid-19 crisis helped hospitals improve their revenue balance, the hospital-related market is declining, as hospital revenues have deteriorated again after the pandemic period, due to rising various costs and the weaker yen, despite an increasing number of operation cases.  Under these circumstances, a new version of Community Health Care Vision is being considered and new functions for medical institutions are in the spotlight.

1. Noteworthy Markets
   1) Leader-follower (formerly known as master-slave) surgical-assistant robots
2. Environment of Therapeutic Biomedical Instruments:

• The financial balance of hospitals improved, thanks to subsidies during the pandemic. However, soaring expenses and a weaker yen, despite an increase in the number of surgical cases, have worsened the hospital revenues. In such a situation, a new "Community Health Care Vision" is being considered, and new functions of medical institutions are in the spotlight.
