UEGW 2015

UEGW is one of the most important events in the endoscopy calendar with 13,200 delegates attending from 114 countries. The PENTAX Medical booth focused on ‘Endoscopic Imaging guiding Therapy’. There was lots of interest in how our latest imaging technology is supporting doctors with diagnosis and therapeutic solutions. The PENTAX Medical team as always, welcomed the opportunity to talk with our customers and share the latest product and industry news. To continue the congress experience, we would like to share some specially selected scientific videos with you.
