What Aimedic MMT does

Aimedic MMT Co., Ltd. (株式会社Aimedic MMT) is a Japan-based orthopedic medical device manufacturer formed in 2016 from the merger of Aimedic Co., Ltd. and M.M.T. Co., Ltd., with predecessor activity dating to 1986/1987. It designs, manufactures, and sells surgical implants and instruments — including internal fixation cable systems (AI-Wiring System stainless and titanium), bone fixation plates (SCORPION NEO), artificial ligaments (Telos, in clinical use since 1998, and the Takumi series of TAPE, LIGAFIT, and LIGALOOP), arthroscopic instruments (Takumi BLACK LINE, staples, buttons, ligament-reconstruction instruments), an artificial hip joint (HIPFORTRESS-ND), bone regeneration materials (e=Bone, NeoBone/NeoBoneX, Lobator sd-2 bone disinfection), diagnostic tools (telos Stress Device, AT Measurer), and rehabilitation/biomedical measurement devices (ResMo telemetry, C-STRETCH MEASURE, B4S swallowing monitor, SWISS DOLORCLAST shockwave). Technology inputs include Aimedic's own braiding and multi-filament cable manufacturing know-how and proprietary technologies licensed from parent Bando Chemical, notably the C-STRETCH stretchable sensor used in rehabilitation products. Since 2019 the company has operated as a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of Bando Chemical Industries (バンドー化学株式会社), a diversified chemicals and materials group.

Aimedic MMT generates revenue through direct hardware sales of orthopedic implants, instruments, and rehabilitation devices to hospitals, orthopedic clinics, and rehabilitation centers in Japan. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through a Tokyo headquarters and a network of regional sales offices covering Tokyo, Osaka, Sendai, Sapporo, Saitama, Yokohama, Nagoya, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka, supplemented by participation in Japanese orthopedic and sports-medicine medical conferences, a healthcare-professional member portal with technical documentation and pricing access, and an outbound sales motion to surgeons (quotation requests, demonstrations, online briefings, and inquiry forms). Specific product pricing is not publicly disclosed; healthcare providers and distributors obtain pricing through direct engagement. The primary customer segment is orthopedic healthcare providers (hospitals and clinics specializing in orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, and rehabilitation); a channel partnership with Air Water Medical also extends reach into home medical care. Geographic footprint is entirely domestic — Japan only — with no global footprint claimed. Operations are headquartered at Shinagawa Seaside Terrace in Minato-ku, Tokyo, with a logistics center in Ota-ku, Tokyo. Registered capital is 90 million yen and headcount is reported in the 11-50 range.
