Our business has grown alongside the development of our flagship product, the lancet (small volume blood collection device), which holds a significant share of the Japanese and international markets.
We began full-scale production in the late 1980s in Japan and have continued to steadily develop products that meet medical device regulations and quality standards. In the 2000s, we began developing our own proprietary products based on the experience we had accumulated, and we have been releasing new products since 2008.
In the process, we have acquired the know-how to control quality across development, validation and manufacturing, and to handle the fabrication, maintenance and repair of molds ourselves, thereby ensuring continuous and stable mass production. We will continue to grow and develop reliable medical devices that meet the quality standards of all the different countries where we do business.
Stress relief for diabetics
Lancets have been continuously evolving since they were first used in the medical field. However, using needles daily is still a stressful experience for the patients and Asahi Polyslider aims to offer lancets that cause less pain and less stress. We have been striving to reduce the pain from needle punctures by reducing the needle diameter and minimizing vibrations.
Sought-after Value
The medical world moves forward every day. This is also true of the lancets we supply, where there is a demand for products that are safe, easy to use, and cause less pain. We constantly strive to develop new products. Our engineering team, manufacturing team, and sales team work together as one across all processes, from planning and design to mass production, and the combined and comprehensive strength of our organization enables us to create high-value-added products.
Quality
We internally manage all aspects of quality control, from development and manufacturing to validation, and even handle mold production and maintenance in-house. This enables us to maintain a stable capability for mass production. Furthermore, we adhere to quality standards in various countries, ensuring the ongoing development and supply of reliable medical devices.
Research and Development
Our Engineering Division supports customers from development through manufacturing. We consider the appropriate product design and manufacturing methods in-house and responds in a timely manner. Besides existing technologies, it is also working on development using new materials and the introduction of new manufacturing processes.
