Responding to the needs of the medical field as a surgical suture manufacturer

Our NESCOSUTURE® is manufactured according to international standards and is supported by healthcare professionals in digestive, cardiovascular, and plastic surgery departments of hospitals and core medical facilities around the country. We offer a rich product lineup of approximately 2,000 items, including synthetic absorbable sutures (e.g., MONODIOX® and OPEPOLYX® ) and synthetic non-absorbable sutures (e.g., NESPYLEN® , MONOFLEN® , and NESPOLEN® ). We also meet the needs of the medical field by developing and supplying products with superior usability, such as black suture needles.

Development of surgical equipment with one-of-a-kind technology developed over many years

Alfresa Pharma is the first domestic manufacturer of microwave surgical equipment: the MICROTAZE® —a microwave endometrial ablation device used for menorrhagia that is being recognized for reducing the burden on the patient.

Providing surgical materials and instruments that enhance intraoperative and postoperative safety

The NESPLON® Cable System, a cable system for intracorporeal fixation, is widely used in orthopedic and thoracic surgery departments as a wiring material for bone fixation, contributing to intraoperative and postoperative safety.
We have also developed the “TIGHTING GUN,” a specialized surgical instrument required for fastening, contributing to safe and appropriate surgery.

Medical devices from Japan that expand the possibilities of radiotherapy

NESKEEP® is an absorbable tissue spacer for radiotherapy, made from the same material used in absorbable sutures. Radiotherapy has traditionally been difficult for patients whose malignant tumors are located close to organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, but the introduction of NESKEEP® has made such treatments possible. We will continue to propose surgical instruments and materials leveraging our proprietary technologies and thereby contribute to the advancement of medical practice.
