SOMETECH (CEO Yang Hee-bong) has set its sights on the global market with its 3D 4K video surgical microscope. The company recently showcased its technology at the 2024 ESCRS (European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery) held in Barcelona, Spain, on the 20th.

ESCRS is the world’s largest ophthalmology conference. Every year, ophthalmologists from various countries who perform cataract and refractive surgeries gather to share the latest research and surgical techniques. It also provides an opportunity to examine the latest trends in ophthalmic equipment. SOMETECH presented its 3D 4K video surgical microscope 'VOMS-400' at this conference. The VOMS-400 is a product with 4K resolution for clear image quality and features vertical and horizontal motorized adjustments. Through the wide-field lens holder system 'Ret-On', it can perform not only cataract surgery but also retinal surgeries, offering a wide field of view and deep depth.

A company representative stated, “We are receiving attention in the 3D surgical microscope market with competitive quality and pricing compared to global companies,” and “At this conference, we had in-depth discussions with existing clients and new buyers.”

SOMETECH plans to focus on four key business strategies to lead the 3D medical device market: expanding sales of 3D medical devices through existing distributors, building and strengthening local supply chains in various countries, leveraging differentiated optical technology, and enhancing system integration (SI) capabilities.

The company will also participate in the 2024 AAO (American Academy of Ophthalmology) in mid-October and the world's largest medical device exhibition, MEDICA 2024, in Düsseldorf, Germany, in November. At MEDICA, SOMETECH will showcase not only its 3D 4K video surgical microscope but also 3D laparoscopes and endoscopes. The company will participate jointly with the Health Industry Promotion Agency, and a seminar on surgical microscopes by Professor Woo Se-jun of Seoul National University Bundang Hospital is also planned at their booth.
