Nipro to double output of dialysis filters in China

Japanese company anticipates steady rise in country's diabetics

Nipro will be able to produce 12 million dialyzers yearly in China.

OSAKA -- Medical equipment maker Nipro will boost production of filters used in dialysis treatments twofold in China, aiming to tap into the country's growing number of diabetes cases.
