Trivitron Medical Technologies Park to manufacture world class medical devices


A Medical Technology Park spread across an area of 25 acres has been inaugurated at Irungattukottai near Chennai for the indigenous manufacture of world class medical devices. Deputy chief minister of Tamil Nadu, MK Stalin inaugurated the Park, which is an initiative of Trivitron Healthcare Private Ltd, one of the leading medical technology companies in India.

The setting up of the park at Chennai is in line with the government of Tamil Nadu’s initiative of promoting Chennai as a manufacturing hub of medical and pharmaceutical products and equipment. The Trivitron Medical Technologies Park is designed to house 10 international medical technology manufacturers.

“It’s a proud moment for all of us. We are exhilarated that Trivitron has set up the first medical technology park in the region to manufacture an indigenous line of products designed specifically for Indian markets. This is yet another feather in the cap of Tamil Nadu’s healthcare system. Tamil Nadu, as you are all aware, is the leader in healthcare delivery in the country and is the choicest destination for international medical tourism,” said M K Stalin.

The park aims to bring cutting edge medical technology to medical professionals across the country at affordable costs. A range of products including ultrasound systems, colour dopplers, X–ray machines, C-arms , in-vitro diagnostic reagents and instruments, cardiology diagnostic instruments, critical care instruments, modular operating theatres, operating theatre lights and tables and implantable medical devices will be manufactured at the park. It is expected that the manufacture of world-class medical devices within the country will bring down the overall healthcare costs considerably.

The first of the several facilities to be set up at the park was also inaugurated on the same day. Trivitron Medical Technologies facility is a joint venture between Aloka, a Japan based company credited with pioneering the diagnostic ultrasound technology globally and Trivitron.
