Fujifilm Healthcare Europe GmbH has announced a strategic partnership with R Zero for the exclusive distribution of mikoto, a state-of-the-art endoscopy simulation technology, throughout Europe. This collaboration aims at providing training solutions for endoscopy professionals across the region, to enhance their skills with the intention to improve patient outcomes.
As a first step in this partnership, Fujifilm Healthcare Europe will introduce the mikoto colon model to the European market.
