Welcome to PENTAX Medical

Last week we attended the EBUS Training Programme in Amsterdam.

What made it special? We supported physicians in advancing their EBUS skills with a dedicated hands-on workstation featuring our EBUS system and the EB19-J10U ultrasound bronchoscope.

Led by Prof. Jouke Annema and an outstanding local and international faculty, the programme focused on both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of endobronchial ultrasound.

We look forward to welcoming you at future EBUS trainings. In the meantime, explore our full EBUS portfolio: https://lnkd.in/dBfyZaz2.

As part of the African Voices project, streamed during Endoscopy on Air 2025, we are proud to share a short interview with Dr. Nada El-Domiaty,Msc,MD,PhD.

Dr. El-Domiaty highlights the critical need for structured training and education in endoscopy – especially in EUS – across Africa. It’s not just about teaching techniques; it’s about empowering healthcare professionals to deliver impactful care in resource-limited settings.

At PENTAX Medical, we are honored to support this mission and help strengthen clinical capabilities across the African continent.

Watch the trailer below to hear how education is shaping the future of endoscopy in Africa.

Mastering EUS starts with state-of-the-art equipment, and reaches its full potential through expert-led, hands-on training.

That is why we are proud to have supported last week's ITEC course at Institute of Image-Guided Surgery (IHU Strasbourg). This advanced 3-day program offered immersive training in over 10 key procedures, using the latest generation of PENTAX Medical EUS equipment – including the EG38-J10UT therapeutic linear scope, designed for advanced therapeutic procedures with a 4mm working channel.

Participating physicians gained practical experience to take their Therapeutic Endoscopic Ultrasound (TEUS) skills to the next level.

At PENTAX Medical, we believe that education is the cornerstone of better patient outcomes. That is why we are proud to support IRCAD and IRCAD Africa in launching their endoscopy courses to empower endoscopists around the world, with a special focus on underserved regions like Africa.

The efficacy and safety of procedures depend not only on the technologies used but also on the expertise of endoscopists. This growing need highlights the importance of increased training and education. Together with leading experts in the field such as Dr. Marc Giovannini, Prof. Guido Costamagna, and Prof. MD Horst Neuhaus, IRCAD training programs combine theory and practice to equip physicians with the skills to improve patient care.

We are committed to supporting IRCAD in the development of additional courses. Check out the teaser below and watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/ekFQza6v.

As we celebrate International Men’s Health Week, we encourage healthcare professionals to prioritize conversations around GI health.
Men face a higher risk of developing conditions such as Barrett’s esophagus and colorectal cancer, conditions that often go undetected due to delayed or missed screening opportunities.

Why does screening matter?
For men aged 50 and older, colonoscopy and other endoscopic screenings are crucial for the early detection of conditions like colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. Early identification allows for timely intervention and can significantly improve outcomes.

What can you do?
As a clinician, you play a vital role in promoting preventive care. Use this awareness month to emphasize the importance of GI screenings and guide patients in making informed decisions about their long-term health.

#MensHealth #Prevention #Screening #GI #Endoscopy

On this #WorldEnvironmentDay, we reaffirm our commitment to sustainability because every step matters.

After ESGE Days 2025, and thanks to your engagement, we have planted 400 trees in reforestation projects through our partner Impact Hero. These efforts restore ecosystems, support local communities, and reflect our broader mission to protect both people and the planet.

We also proudly support the Togo reforestation project to fully offset the carbon footprint of our PlasmaBAGTM ECO endoscope storage bags, making them carbon neutral.

These are small steps, but meaningful ones. Let’s keep moving forward, together!

For years, physicians have learned endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) techniques on their own, without structured training or expert guidance. Now, that is changing.

Mentorship is key to mastering EUS, as Dr. Matteo Tacelli, Gastroenterologist at San Raffaele Hospital, emphasizes the value of learning directly from experienced physicians.

That’s why we are proud to work closely with and engage physicians through our PENTAX Medical Forward AcademyTM trainings. Our EUS masterclass helps physicians gain insight into real cases, understand how to manage complications, and build confidence through practice.
