In Přelouč, patient health is a top priority for us. We manufacture innovative all-in-one tube systems for minimally invasive medicine.

These connect patients to insufflators or pumps – medical technology devices also manufactured by Novanta – to enable medical gases and liquids to flow smoothly during a surgical procedure. All tube systems are developed by us in conjunction with doctors.

We manufacture them in our own cleanroom and pack them carefully – a fascinating process laden with responsibility. Maybe one day soon, we’ll be able to count on your help.
