What Micro-Tech Endoscopy does

Micro-Tech Endoscopy develops and supplies disposable endoscopic medical devices used by gastroenterologists in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Founded in 2000 in Nanjing, China, the company operates from a global headquarters and primary manufacturing facility in Nanjing with US headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan (established 2015) and additional offices in Düsseldorf, Germany and Breda, Netherlands, supported by wholly owned subsidiaries MICRO-TECH Europe GmbH, MICRO-TECH Nederland, and Canyon Medical Inc.

The product portfolio spans the full procedural spectrum of gastrointestinal endoscopy, organized into categories including biliary access devices (Hydro-Slide Guidewire, Sphincterotome, Stone Retrieval Balloon, Guide Wire Locking Device), biopsy tools (single-wire, twin-wire, hot biopsy forceps, cytology brushes, and the acquired Precisor EXL line), cholangioscopy systems (eyeMAX single-use cholangioscopes in 3.9mm and 3.2mm formats, Walz EHL Lithotron, extraction baskets), dilation balloons (multi-stage and single-stage), advanced resection and EMR/ESD instruments (DAT Closure Device, SureTrac Traction System, LesionHunter Cold Snare, GoldKnife electrosurgical knives, BlueBoost submucosal injection, EnSure Coagulation Forceps, EdgeHog Hot Snare), EUS needles (Trident FNB, Areus FNA in CoCr and Nitinol variants), hemostasis clips (Lockado, SureClip, and acquired DuraClip), multi-band ligators (Endoscopic Multi-Band and In-Sight devices), and infection prevention consumables. Technology differentiators are mechanical in nature — CAM jaw forceps architecture, patent-pending short-wire/long-wire sphincterotome mechanism, hydrophilic Nitinol-core guidewire, single-use digital cholangioscope with 120-degree field of view — rather than algorithmic.

The company makes money by selling these single-use, quote-priced disposable devices directly to hospitals, endoscopy centers, and gastroenterology practices across more than 90 countries via an enterprise field sales motion, complemented by website ordering, customer service (877-552-4027), a 30-day payment cycle, a 90-day refund policy, and a free product evaluation program. Go-to-market relies on conference presence at DDW, ACG, and ASGE, clinician testimonial-led marketing by named advanced endoscopists, the INSPIRE.YOU physician education initiative, and hands-on training workshops covering cholangioscopy, third-space endoscopy, and ESD. The March 2026 acquisition of Duraclip, Precisor, and Optibite product line distribution rights from CONMED reinforces a strategy of consolidating share in the GI endoscopy consumables segment through both organic product development and selective line acquisitions.
