About Mizuho

Precision. Innovation. Trust in Neurosurgery.

Since 1919, Mizuho has been at the forefront of surgical innovation, creating world-class medical devices that empower surgeons and improve patient outcomes. With over a century of craftsmanship and technological advancement, Mizuho has become a trusted name in neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery, and operating room solutions worldwide.

Mizuho’s legacy is rooted in collaboration with leading surgeons and researchers to address real clinical needs. In 1973, the company partnered with renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Kenichiro Sugita to develop the first generation of aneurysm clips. This breakthrough set new standards for safety and precision in vascular neurosurgery, and the Sugita Clip remains one of the most widely recognised and trusted aneurysm clips used around the world today.

Every product bearing the Mizuho name reflects the fusion of Japanese craftsmanship and cutting-edge engineering. At the company’s Gosen Factory in Niigata, Japan, each aneurysm clip is meticulously handcrafted and finished to exacting standards, ensuring consistency, reliability, and uncompromising quality. This dedication to precision has made Mizuho instruments a symbol of trust for generations of neurosurgeons.

Today, Mizuho is recognised globally as a leader in neurosurgical solutions. Its portfolio spans aneurysm, AVM and anastomosis clips, head-holding and cranial stabilisation systems, operating tables, Doppler flow devices, and microsurgical instruments. Each innovation is designed to give surgeons greater control, accuracy, and confidence in the operating room, while supporting better outcomes for patients.

Mizuho’s commitment to safety and progress extends beyond product design. Many of its devices, including the Sugita T2 and TII clips, are proven to be MRI conditional up to 3 Tesla, ensuring compatibility with modern imaging standards and reinforcing the brand’s focus on patient safety. As surgical practice continues to evolve, Mizuho remains dedicated to advancing technology that meets the complex demands of modern neurosurgery.
