Eyeless Products (Suture Needles: Eyeless・Eyed)

This segment includes R&D, manufacture, and distribution activities for the following suture needles:

Example products
  • Suture needles

    Cutting type Curved triangular pyramid needle with sharp cutting blade

    Taper type Curved conic needle with smooth penetrating taper

    Trapezoid type Curved spatula needle for ophthalmic use with superb cutting ability

In this area, we research, develop, and sell mainly surgical suture needles.
An eyeless needle is a component of a surgical suture, which requires further processing such as suture attaching and sterilization to be marketed, at customer’s premises. On the other hand, an eyed needle has a through-hole. Threading a needle is conducted at operation site before use by scrub persons.
MANI is the world’s first company that have started using austenite stainless steel to make suture needles. Our suture needles are well accepted for their high ductility, corrosion-resistance, and superior sharpness. We offer a wide range of needles, with more than 10,000 combination of specifications depending on the intended use and operator’s preference, in order to closely respond to doctors’ needs.

Dental Products (dental therapeutic instruments)

This segment includes R&D, manufacture, and distribution activities for the following dental medical devices:

Example products
  • Dental instruments

    Root canal treatment instruments

    Endodontic rotary cutting instruments

    Endodontic accessories

We expect increased demand for disposable dental instruments in the context of GDP growth in developing countries and aim to expand our market share further with excellent products such as our reamer files and diamond burs. Specifically in the area of dental root canal treatment instruments, the results of research based on intended use have led us to produce 2,000 types of instrument. We emphasize product development that meets the needs of dental treatment.
