#1 Reduce costs

Due to high operating costs, biofeedback therapy is not popular. The disposable electromyograph probe electrode “Inner Disposable Electrode” that we developed can solve this cost problem.

Traditional medical devices come with integrated cables and probes, which either need disposable replacements or demand disinfection and cleaning by specialized technicians after every use, driving up operational expenses and limiting widespread adoption.

Sofken’s “Inner Disposable Electrode” has a separate cable and probe, you don’t need to dispose of the cable, making it possible to provide a product with the same performance as conventional products cut the cost by 65%.

#2 Reduce waste

In Japan, the volume of medical waste has grown by roughly 1.5 times over the past decade, with projections indicating a continued increase in the years ahead. Furthermore, Japan’s recycling rate for general waste is notably low in comparison to that of Western countries.Recognizing the need for waste reduction and recycling at both individual and corporate levels, we need to be proactive to solve this problem.

With our “Inner Disposable Electrode”, the cable and the probe can be separated, so you don’t need to dispose of the cable, only the probe part, reducing the amount of waste generated.

#4 OEM Supply

In 2024, we begin our “Inner Disposable Electrode” on an OEM basis to medical device manufacturers in Japan.

We continue to supply “Inner Disposable Electrodes” on an OEM basis to the global market.

We are confident that our “Inner Disposable Electrode”, which boasts overwhelming cost performance, can be a product needed in medical settings around the world.
