Microline PENTAX launches rebranded website and new company logo

Microline PENTAX, Inc., a leading manufacturer of reposable instruments for minimally invasive surgery, announced today that it has completed the change of its corporate name to Microline Surgical, Inc. The company will also issue a new logo and launch a rebranded website (www.microlinesurgical.com).

According to Dr. Jean-Luc Boulnois, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Microline, the new name offers a more accurate representation of the company’s core business and market position.

“Our tremendous growth, organically and through the acquisition of Starion Instruments earlier this year, has expanded our offerings and broadened our reach into the surgical marketplace,” said Dr. Boulnois. “While the PENTAX name represented our past, the Microline Surgical name reflects our current leadership position in the field of laparoscopy and our future goals as we expand into other surgical specialties, such as gynecology, urology, otolaryngology, and cardiac, particularly with innovative minimally invasive instrumentation.”

Microline designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of minimally invasive reposable surgical instruments that offer high quality and precision, combined with ease of use and cost effectiveness. Microline attained the PENTAX name when PENTAX acquired Microline in December 2004. PENTAX was subsequently acquired by HOYA Corporation of Tokyo, Japan in July 2007, making Microline a wholly owned subsidiary of HOYA.
