What Hugemed does

HugeMed (Shenzhen HugeMed Medical Technical Development Co., Ltd.) is a Shenzhen-based medical device manufacturer founded in 2014 that designs, produces, and distributes medical endoscopes globally. Its product portfolio spans four categories: (1) airway management video laryngoscopes in blade, flexible, and stylet configurations; (2) single-use endoscopes across urology (6.3Fr, 5Fr, 4Fr, and 7.5Fr ureterorenoscopes, cystoscopes, access sheaths), pulmonology (bronchoscopes), gastroenterology (duodenoscopes, choledochoscopes, biliary pancreaticobiliary scopes), gynecology (hysteroscopes), and E.N.T. (rhinolaryngoscopes); (3) reusable endoscopes for urology and E.N.T.; and (4) medical image processors (MS-8, VLM-02/03, HUV-01/02). Technical differentiators include the ultra-slim 6.3Fr single-use ureteroscope with 1:1 torque ratio, IPX8-rated reusable blades, and the Red Dot Award-winning MS-8 FHD touchscreen processor. EAU2026 introduced an integrated endourology system bundling controllable pump ureteroscopes, pressure-measuring scopes, smart irrigation-suction pumps, and accessories.

The company operates a global go-to-market through direct hospital engagement, regional distributor networks in MEA, APAC, and Europe, a European office established in July 2020, and KOL-anchored clinical training centers in Cambridge, Singapore, and Turkey. It sells to hospitals, healthcare systems, and specialty departments (anesthesiology, pulmonology, urology, ENT, gynecology, gastroenterology), generating revenue primarily through hardware sales with single-use disposables driving recurring consumption demand. It reports 600+ employees, 60,000+ m² of production and office space, 50,000+ monthly production units, an installed base of 10,000+ medical institutions across 100+ countries, and validation from WHO (repeat orders for 100 video laryngoscopes), Cambridge University Hospitals, UCLH, and global KOLs.

Regulatory credentials include the distinction of being the first manufacturer globally to receive EU MDR approval for a single-use ureteroscope (March 2022) and FDA certification (April 2023). The company has raised institutional capital from Qiming Venture Partners (Series B Dec 2023; Series C ~$22.5M Sept 2025) and a consortium including Harvest Capital, Sunshine Insurance Group, and Xiamen C&D Corporation (Series C March 2026). Reported momentum metrics include 80%+ YoY growth, 32% growth in European hospital installations, 49 new global product registrations, and a 53% increase in team size.

Direct peers

• Ambu: Ambu is the global pioneer in single-use endoscopes (aScope bronchoscopes, cystoscopes, and other single-use visualization devices), directly competing with HugeMed across pulmonology, urology, and ENT with a similar single-use, infection-control-focused value proposition.
• Boston Scientific: Boston Scientific's LithoVue single-use flexible ureteroscope is the most direct competitor to HugeMed's flagship HU30M 6.3Fr ureteroscope, and the company is also expanding into adjacent single-use urology devices.
• Verathon: Verathon's GlideScope is the market-leading video laryngoscope globally, directly competing with HugeMed's VL-series blade, flexible, and stylet video laryngoscopes in anesthesia, emergency, and ICU airway management.
