Medical robot startup Medintech announced on July 23 that it has completed the supply and installation of the flexible robot endoscope ‘Intion S’ at the National Fire Hospital. This marks the first time that Medintech has supplied equipment to a public hospital in Korea.


Intion S assists medical professionals in operating endoscopes through precise robotic control powered by motorization technology. With a precise motor-driven control system and a user-friendly interface, it is designed to reduce the fatigue of healthcare providers during procedures and provide a stable procedural environment.

Intion S demonstrated its clinical effectiveness in trials conducted at leading general hospitals in Korea, including Seoul National University Hospital, in 2024 and 2025. Medintech emphasized that this is particularly meaningful because Intion S is a domestically developed robotic system that has secured original robotic technology, in a Korean endoscope market otherwise dominated by foreign equipment.


Intion S has been installed in the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Center at the National Fire Hospital, where it will be used for the examination and diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases. Medintech plans to expand its supply to other key medical institutions in Korea, including additional public hospitals, starting with this installation at the National Fire Hospital.



Lee Chi-won, CEO of Medintech, commented, “This supply to the National Fire Hospital is a significant milestone as it represents the first case of Medintech’s flexible robot endoscope being adopted in a public hospital setting. We will continue to demonstrate the excellent performance and clinical utility of flexible robot endoscopes in Korean medical institutions.”
