Olympus recently established a new cross-functional dedicated organization, the Single-Use Endoscopy Unit, to accelerate efforts for developing the commercialization strategy and to inform a focused product portfolio roadmap. "With the launch of the H-SteriScopes, Olympus is entering the single-use endoscopy market and ushering in a new era in endoscopy where single-use and traditional scopes are seen together as part of a complete and complementary endoscopy portfolio," said Ken Daignault, Vice President of Strategy and Development of the Single-Use Endoscopy Unit at Olympus.
