What Micro-Tech UK does

Micro-Tech UK (legal entity Micro-Tech (U.K.) Ltd) is a private medical-technology company that distributes therapeutic endoscopy medical devices to NHS and private hospitals across the United Kingdom. The company is headquartered in York, England, and operates as a UK distribution subsidiary of Micro-Tech Nanjing, from which it sources the vast majority of its products. Its portfolio spans biliary, biopsy, dilation, EUS, haemostasis, resection, retrieval, decontamination and endoluminal interventional categories, with flagship owned brands including VacStent GI (including the 80mm XL variant for large oesophageal leaks and a colon variant), DiLumen Endoluminal Interventional Platform (dual-balloon platform for advanced colonic polypectomy, EMR and ESD), Lockado haemostasis clips (ten-tooth compression design), SureFire Multiple Band Ligator Set, and the DAT Closure Device for 3-5cm gastrointestinal defects. The company also positions secondary offerings such as EyeMAX and injection needles as part of its therapeutic endoscopy accessories.

The business model is straightforward hardware sales to enterprise healthcare buyers. Products are sold directly to NHS and private hospitals via Product Specialists, and core products are also available through NHS England Supply Chain, which provides a streamlined procurement channel for NHS trusts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; purchasing is facilitated through direct contact forms, product trial requests, and call-back requests, with 48-hour standard delivery and 24-hour urgent fulfilment available. No subscription, SaaS, or service-based revenue streams are present. Pricing is not model-tiered in the public materials and is described as 'Other' (transactional/negotiated).

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales combined with event-driven clinical education. Product Specialists provide ongoing guidance and support, and the company runs training events such as the Endoluminal Surgery Training Masterclass at King's College London, combining expert-led lectures, hands-on simulation stations, and live case transmissions. The company also partners with Mentix Ltd for live teleproctoring and remote mentorship of clinicians performing their first independent DiLumen cases after training. The customer base is concentrated in NHS England (primary) and UK private hospitals (secondary), with no disclosed geographic expansion beyond the United Kingdom. The company has publicly committed to Carbon Neutral by 2030, aligning with NHS England's Net Zero procurement priorities.
