In December 2024, I had the honor of joining a business delegation to Sendai, Japan—a country at the forefront of medical technology and innovation. As both a practicing physician and founder of Ebnet Medical, I gained powerful insights into Japan’s booming MedTech market, engaged in inspiring exchanges with global experts, and shared our mission to revolutionize vascular access. This journey reinforced the value of international collaboration in advancing patient safety and delivering smarter healthcare solutions worldwide.

Peripheral Intravenous Catheter (PIVC) insertion to get access to the vascular system is a critical step in life-saving infusion therapy. PIVC application is one of the most common invasive procedures in medicine with PIVCs being sold billion times per year worldwide. Despite highest standards in modern medicine, conventional PIVCs often cause pain and fear with PIVC failure and complication rates being high. Children and vulnerable patients are particularly affected and technical innovation is urgently needed.
