Endoscopy

During the last several years endoscopes (flexible and rigid) have become essential tools for medicine, useful for the diagnosis of illnesses in the lungs (pulmonary), bladder (urology) and blood vessels (arthroscopy), and in the digestive tract; including the throat, stomach, duodenum, intestines, pancreas and colon (gastroenterology). In addition, endoscopes are also used in the fields of ear, nose and throat (ENT), gynaecology and laparoscopic general surgery.

Minimally Invasive Surgery (endoscopic) procedures are expected to almost entirely replace conventional surgery procedures within the next 20 years. Endoscopic procedures provide better care for patients at lower overall costs, and with less utilization of scarce hospital beds and related resources.

Medi-Globe’s gastroenterology group is focused on the worldwide GI (Gastro Intestinal) endoscopy market. Within the wide field of GI Endoscopy, Medi Globe and its subsidiaries are manufacturers of flexible endoscopic instruments, equipment and supplies.
