Features
At HOGY MEDICAL, our mission is to prevent infections within medical facilities and to create an environment
where a greater number of surgical procedures can be performed safely and efficiently.
Three Innovations Originated
Through Observation and Research of Operating Rooms
We believe that on-site observation is the source of new product development. Roughly 60 years ago, our founder frequently visited medical facilities and recognized the critical need for sterilization of medical supplies. Observing that paper was commonly used in pharmaceutical packaging at the time, he hypothesized that it could be adapted for use in sterilization, and from this idea, the Mekkin Bag was created from the ground up. As the Mekkin Bag became widely adopted, new challenges emerged, leading to the development of non-woven fabric products, which subsequently evolved into kit products.
Ensuring the Highest Level of Safety
While Reducing Workload During Surgery
Our mainstay product, the “Premium Surgical Kit,” was developed through observation of the surgical material preparation process. It contributes significantly to reducing the workload of doctors and nurses while pursuing safer and more efficient surgery.
Preparation of medical supplies based on experience
- Supplies prepared based on individual experience
- Temporary suspension of surgery due to missing or insufficient supplies
Supplies are prepared one by one from the shelves in the surgical preparation room
Custom packages combining the materials required for each medical institution and each surgery
- Designed to meet the needs of each customer by selecting from among 20,000 components sourced from approximately 170 major domestic and international manufacturers
- Supplies can be packaged in accordance with the surgical procedure
The Premium Surgical Kit packages all materials required before, during, and after surgery in the order of use
Reduced from
approximately 69 minutes to roughly 10 minutes*
Strengths and Potential
Development Process That Begins with Observation and Research
Our product development begins with observation. We observe everything that affects our customers—from the overall medical environment to the smallest challenges faced on-site—and seek to understand what is truly needed. We customize our solutions accordingly and evolve our products in collaboration with partner companies, thereby supporting the medical frontline. By continuously repeating this process, our kit products have steadily evolved.
Future Growth Potential
Becoming an Indispensable Presence in Supporting Japan’s Healthcare Environment
Responding to the growing need for community-based care, and hospital bed reallocation driven by functional differentiation
Addressing the challenges faced by Japan’s severe aging society, which began in 2007
Reforming surgical preparation workflows to improve productivity and support workstyle reforms for healthcare professionals
In Japan, the severe ongoing aging of the population has led to rising demand for surgical care. At the same time, there is a shortage of doctors and nurses to support surgical procedures, a challenge that is particularly acute in rural areas. We aim to support surgical teams by responding to these staffing shortages and by providing products that are finely tuned to the needs of each clinical site. Through these efforts, we are working to create an environment in which even one more patient can undergo surgery early as possible. To that end, we remain committed to the development of better products.
