More than 130 French companies are set to showcase latest products from its medical equipment industry at an international trade show for medical systems in Dubai, UAE.

 

The Arab Health-Medlab will run from January 25 to 28 at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre.

 

Business France – the National Agency for the Internationalization of French Business, which has backed the firms, has reported record-high registration levels for this year's event, said a statement.

 

The French medical equipment industry has been powered by cutting-edge companies, 94 per cent of which are small and medium enterprises. 

 

French manufacturers are geared at diagnostic imaging tools, disposable systems, implants, prostheses and orthotics. Their innovative tools are used in two main growth markets: aging surgery and plastic surgery. 

 

On the international front, they are further borne by the French health system's positive image and leading authorities in medicine. This has brought about real co-operation between France's manufacturers and medical-surgical teams, both in R&D and in actual use of the devices produced. 

 

France's manufacturers have been generally positioned on high-technology niche markets (IVD and implants). They also meet every ethical and regulatory requirement on safety and quality.

 

The products will include orthopaedics (surgical implants for bone surgery, prosthetics, digestive surgery), diagnostics (biopsy tools, reactants and laboratory equipment, blood analysers), consumables and equipment for health-care establishments, air treatment (air decontamination and filtering), waste treatment, hospital supplies (medical equipment and furniture: beds, carts) and in-home care (home stay, patient transfer), said the statement.

 

With the help of regional partners such as Centreco, Lille Eurasanté, Biomédical Alliance and, for the first time, the Aquitaine Region, all on-site at the France Pavilion each with some ten companies of its own, France's latest in innovation will be center-stage at the 2016 Arab Health Show, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
