Popularity of Parker Flex-Tip tubes surges in Japan

After introduction of the Parker tubes in Japan in November, 2008, sales have grown at a phenomenal rate. At the invitation of prominent Japanese physicians and the sponsorship of Parker Medical’s Japanese distributor, Kobayashi Medical Co., Ltd., Dr. Parker has completed six successful speaking tours in Japan. He has lectured to anesthesia faculties and met with leading professors at major university and public hospitals throughout Japan (most recently in May, 2011). Parker Medical’s products have been featured by Kobayashi at major professional meetings, including the Japan Society for Clinical Anesthesia and the Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists. At these meetings, other American and Japanese physicians also gave lectures and presentations of their own research and experiences regarding superior performance of the Parker Flex-Tip tubes in comparison to conventional tubes.
