R&D Policy

Monozukuri (manufacturing) strategy:
The DNA of being number one in the world.

Medical technology is rapidly evolving, driven by integrated efforts that enhance innovation. We focus on therapeutic innovation and improving treatment environments by creating unique functions, exploring new materials, refining existing capabilities, and developing peripheral devices.

Research and Development Policy

01

We do not deal with products other than medical devices.

In 1961, we created the first stainless steel surgical needles, achieving "rust-free sutures" in medical devices. Since then, we have specialized in durable, small medical instruments, focusing on advanced wire processing to deliver world-class quality and succeed in niche markets globally.

02

We focus on niche markets.

To maximize our resources, we focus on niche markets where our unique technology leads, avoiding competition with larger corporations. By prioritizing high-value products and patenting our innovations, we aim to secure both immediate and long-term profits.

03

We do not produce products with a short market trend.

By focusing on essential, long-lasting medical devices, we continuously improve quality and lower costs, developing unique technologies that meet specific medical demands. Our own production and quality evaluation systems further enhance these proprietary innovations.

04

We are committed to providing the best quality in the world.

MANI’s principle, "THE BEST QUALITY IN THE WORLD, TO THE WORLD," guides our team. To meet this, we hold a "World-Class Quality Conference" twice a year to ensure our products meet the highest global standards. By continuously improving, we bring high-quality products to global markets, benefiting patients and stakeholders alike.
