Sumitomo Bakelite Company Limited <4203> is rebounding for the first time in three days. The company announced today that it will expand production capacity at Akita Sumitomo Bakelite in response to growing demand for steering microcatheters used in intravascular treatment. This appears to be providing buying support.

The product is a new type of microcatheter that allows arbitrary control of the tip direction through hand-held operation, leading to shorter procedure times. The company plans to begin preparations for equipment installation this month and commence operations in February 2027.
