Welcome to PENTAX Medical
At PENTAX Medical we truly care about the challenges of healthcare professionals. That is why we have evolved from a manufacturer with over 100 years of experience into a trusted partner in endoscopy, delivering advanced technologies that support clinical excellence around the world.





Service
Endoscopic equipment is among the most advanced medical technologies. The devices can only achieve optimal results when maintained properly. A flawless hygiene and original functionality of each device are critical to patient safety.
Innovation
At PENTAX Medical, innovation goes beyond merely advancing technology and developing new products. Our primary goal in everything we do is to enhance the standard of patient care and elevate the quality of healthcare, in alignment with our corporate mission.
MSA
Our Medical Scientific Affairs (MSA) department is dedicated to closing the gap between clinical research and pioneering endoscopic technology. We collaborate closely with healthcare professionals, conduct thorough scientific studies, and provide extensive medical education.
Over the last two days, we welcomed dedicated physicians specializing in EUS to Hamburg for the PENTAX Medical Forward Academy™ EUS Masterclass, a deep dive into advanced endoscopic ultrasound techniques.
Led by renowned experts Dr. Marc Giovannini, Dr. Raffaele Manta, Dr. Katarzyna Monika Pawlak, Dr. Jan-Werner Poley, and Prof. Schalk Van Der Merwe, participants explored the fundamentals that elevate every EUS procedure and transformed theory into practice through hands-on simulation sessions.
These sessions stood out not only for the high-quality training but also for the shared commitment to advancing endoscopic care. A sincere thank-you to our mentors and all participants for contributing to such an inspiring program.
#ForwardAcademy #EUS #MedicalEducation
We are looking forward to bringing the endoscopy community together for a session on the current state of hygiene, sustainability and ergonomics in endoscope reprocessing.

Last week, we welcomed a group of medical device engineering students from Hamburg University of Applied Sciences to our PENTAX Medical Training Center in Hamburg for a student workshop. The day was designed to bridge theory with real experience. By building their own endoscopy cart, practicing with our latest systems, and exploring the full pathway from clinical use to service and reprocessing, students gained a deeper understanding of what it means to develop technology that supports high-quality patient care.
For us, this workshop is more than an introduction to endoscopy; it is an investment in the future of our field. At PENTAX Medical, we strive to share our knowledge, empower new talent and foster the next generation of endoscopy experts, whether they choose a clinical or industry path.
A big thank you to all students for their curiosity and enthusiasm. Your passion is what drives endoscopic innovation forward.
