Mika Medical

What Mika Medical does

Mika Medical Co. is a privately held Korean medical device manufacturer headquartered at 93 Noksansaneopjung-ro, Gangseo-gu, Busan, founded in 1995 and operating with 1-10 employees. The company runs a dual-product portfolio: an orthopedic line consisting of PHIL-CAST orthopedic casting tape and PHIL-SPLINT orthopedic easy splint, manufactured since 1995, and a needle-free injection platform marketed under the Comfort-in family, including the flagship Comfort-in device, the Comfort-M multi-injection variant, and the Comfort-in Derma dermatological variant. Comfort-in generates a high-speed fluid needle through a small nozzle orifice to deliver liquid drugs into the body without a hypodermic needle, addressing needle phobia, needle-stick injury risk, and self-administration needs; Mika Medical positions itself as Korea's first developer and manufacturer of needle-free injection systems. Mika Medical monetizes primarily through hardware sales of its medical devices and orthopedic consumables, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is built around B2B channel partners: a domestic Korean e-commerce shopping mall (needlefreejet.com) serves consumers, while a dedicated overseas sales division recruits international distributors via email ([email protected]), phone (+82-51-831-6040), and recurring participation in major medical exhibitions including MEDICA (Germany), Arab Health (UAE), and KIMES (Korea). The company serves two primary vertical segments: healthcare providers and medical facilities (hospitals, clinics, dental practices) using Comfort-in for needle-free drug delivery, and orthopedic practices using PHIL-CAST and PHIL-SPLINT for fracture management. No external funding, parent company, or institutional investors have been disclosed, and the company is independently operated out of a single Busan headquarters. Comfort-in received NECA (New Excellent Commodity Assessment) registration as a new medical technology in Korea in December 2023, and Mika Medical received the Minister's Award from the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2022.

Core offering

Mika Medical Co. manufactures and sells two categories of medical devices: (1) Comfort-in series needle-free injection systems that use high-pressure fluid dynamics to deliver liquid drugs through a small nozzle orifice without traditional hypodermic needles, and (2) orthopedic casting and splinting products (PHIL-CAST orthopedic casting tape and PHIL-SPLINT orthopedic easy splint) produced with casting/splinting expertise developed since 1995.

Product overview

Mika Medical Co. offers a dual-focus medical device portfolio consisting of needle-free injection systems (Comfort-in family including Comfort M and Comfort-in Derma variants) and orthopedic products (PHIL-CAST casting tape and PHIL-SPLINT easy splint). The company's flagship needle-free technology eliminates traditional hypodermic needles by generating a high-speed fluid jet to deliver medications intradermally, subcutaneously, or intramuscularly. The orthopedic line, manufactured since 1995, provides traditional casting and splinting solutions.
