June 11, 2025 \u2013 Pars Medal, a\nparticipant at the Iran Health Exhibition, manufactures a wide range of general\nand specialized surgical instruments as well as various types of anesthesia\nlaryngoscopes. The company, based in Hall 41 of the Iran International\nExhibition, has prioritized meeting domestic demand before considering export\nopportunities.<\/span><\/p>

According to CEO Mehdi Parsafard,\nsevere restrictions on importing raw materials have made it increasingly\ndifficult to supply the country\u2019s needs. One of the major challenges is\nsecuring the necessary foreign currency for imports, and the company has never\nbenefited from the government\u2019s preferential exchange rate.<\/span><\/p>

Parsafard added that both a lack of\nadequate support for producers and persistent difficulties in importing\nessential raw materials have compounded the problem. Additionally,\nunderstaffing at the General Directorate of Medical Equipment has led to\nprolonged review processes, further slowing the supply chain.<\/span><\/p>

\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>

He noted that the most commonly used\nsurgical instruments in operating rooms number around 1,500, and these are\ncrucial for a wide range of surgeries. The ongoing challenges in sourcing\nmaterials and regulatory bottlenecks continue to threaten the timely and\nsufficient supply of essential surgical tools in Iran.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
