Company Profile

“Improving the skills of medical professionals and reducing the burden on patients” – this is the unwavering policy of the Sakamoto Models that are in product development. For this reason, we always place importance on visiting the front lines of medical care and listening to various opinions.

For example, the joints of New Tomoko and the epidermis of injection models such as Kekkan-kun. We strive to achieve two opposing things every day: flexibility same as that of the human body and the strength to withstand practical training as educational materials. The development process begins with developing the most suitable material for the target area. Next is the design of a prototype, which undergoes durability tests using injection needles and UV tests to simulate storage conditions for school materials.Based on the results, multiple improvements over the course of several times will be made.

In addition to flexibility and durability, Sakamoto Models also values ​​the overall beauty of the final product. For example, the facial expressions and naming of the doll models, which are not directly related to the practical training are thoroughly considered. By giving them a rich range of expressions and giving them familiar product names. The aim is to evoke the emotions needed when interacting with actual patients, rather than just using them as teaching materials. Sakamoto Models hopes to realize medical education that goes beyond technique and “nurtures the heart of a medical professional who is sympathetic to the feelings of patients.”
