About 75% of endoscopists suffer from endoscopy-related pain*.
 
Join Dr. Keith Siau and physiotherapist Stacy Markwell as they discuss how thoughtful endoscope design can reduce physical strain and support clinician wellbeing.
 
"If the endoscopists can avoid overextension by having a scope that is more flexible, that can reach the angles so that we don't have to manually do so, then that would be a great help to us.” – Dr. Keith Siau
 
Discover how ergonomics-focused innovation can support the long-term health of the endoscopy workforce, and learn how the PENTAX Medical i20c Endoscope Series was designed to help address these challenges.

HOYA's Endoscopy Business in Japan Transitions to PENTAX Medical Corporation

Effective August 1, HOYA's endoscopy business in Japan has officially transitioned to PENTAX Medical Corporation through a corporate split, marking an important milestone in the evolution of our global organization.
While HOYA's endoscopy business has long operated globally through approximately 20 dedicated entities, the business in Japan had previously been managed as the PENTAX Life Care Division of HOYA Corporation. With this transition, the Japanese endoscopy business will now operate as an independent company under the PENTAX Medical organization.
This new structure will enable more focused and agile decision-making across product development, sales and marketing, regulatory affairs, and other key functions. By aligning our operations more closely with the unique demands of the healthcare industry, we are strengthening our ability to deliver innovation, create value for our customers, and support sustainable long-term growth.
We look forward to this exciting new chapter as we continue advancing endoscopic technologies and solutions that help improve patient care around the world.

What do you rely on most to confirm needle position during EBUS?

Recent clinical literature and case-based evidence highlight that successful EBUS-guided sampling depends not only on anatomical reach, but critically on the quality of real-time visualization during needle placement.
 
Visualization that supports:
・ Clear orientation
・ Precise needle control
・ Confident, real-time decision-making
 
is increasingly central to achieving consistent and reliable tissue acquisition.

At the point of sampling, even incremental improvements in image clarity can meaningfully influence procedural decisions and execution. Ultimately, diagnostic confidence is driven by what can be clearly visualized in real time.

Bronchiectasis is no longer a rare disease—it is a growing, still underrecognized burden in respiratory care.

Characterized by permanent airway dilation, impaired mucus clearance, and recurrent infections, it significantly impacts patient quality of life and long-term outcomes.

However, delays in diagnosis and variability in management remain key challenges, underscoring the need for a more coordinated approach:

✓ Earlier recognition through optimized diagnostic pathways
✓ Consistent, evidence-based care
✓ Targeted strategies for mucus clearance and infection control

At PENTAX Medical, we are committed to advancing bronchiectasis care by empowering pulmonologists with enhanced visualization tools to enable more confident diagnosis, timely intervention, and ultimately, improved patient outcomes.

What if a simple design change could significantly reduce contamination risk in endoscopy?
 
Recent findings published in JAMA* underscore the impact of design innovation on patient safety. The study demonstrates that disposable duodenoscope elevator caps reduce persisten post‑reprocessing microbial contamination risk by 66% compared with standard designs following High-level Disinfection—addressing one of the most persistent challenges in endoscopy.

For healthcare leaders, the implications are clear:
・ Risk reduction through smarter design
・ Operational consistency
・ Strengthened infection prevention strategy

Single‑use components can play a meaningful role in advancing safety, quality outcomes, and confidence in complex procedures.

Advancing Care for Voice-Dependent Professionals

“Suara mampu menyentuh jiwa manusia” (Voice has the power to touch the human soul) A powerful reminder of how vital our voice is—yet how often we take it for granted until challenges arise. For many professionals, the voice is more than a means of communication; it is a critical tool for their work, leadership, and service to the community. 

In May 2026, PENTAX Medical, together with our valued partner Easmed, hosted the Mobile Voice Clinic 2026 at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), our Centre of Excellence in Kuala Lumpur, in conjunction with World Voice Day.

The initiative featured expert-led discussions, clinical demonstrations, and on-site voice screenings—reinforcing the importance of early detection and preventive care in voice and swallowing health. During the event, PENTAX Medical introduced—for the first time in Malaysia—our latest stroboscopy platform, powered by the 9500 LED light source.

We extend our sincere thanks to UKM, Prof. Dato Dr Marina Mat Baki and team, as well as all experts, participants, and partners who contributed to the success of this meaningful initiative.

Detect early. Reduce risk.

In Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month, raising awareness about early detection is more important than ever.

According to Prof. Zuo Xiuli (Qilu Hospital, Shandong University), certain individuals face a higher risk, including:
• Long-term smoking or alcohol use 
• Frequent consumption of very hot foods or beverages 
• Family history of cancer
• Persistent esophageal discomfort

"Timely, targeted screening is essential to reducing risk and protecting digestive health."

Early detection can significantly improve outcomes.

Let’s encourage proactive health check-ups and greater awareness.

Could one endoscope change the way you manage challenging EUS cases?

In a prospective study* of 2,000 EUS patients, the slim linear echoendoscope (SLE) changed clinical management in 95.6% of cases where standard echoendoscopes failed by enabling a new diagnosis or altering the treatment plan. It was only 1.15% of patients, but for each one, the impact was critical.

The PENTAX Medical Slim Linear Echoendoscope is designed for those moments.

A 10% slimmer distal tip improves access in challenging anatomy, while the 2.8 mm working channel still supports 7Fr accessories for FNA, FNB, and drainage**.

When standard tools reach their limits, having a slimmer, capable alternative can make a meaningful difference.
