One such company is Runyes. Founded in 2000, Runyes is focused on the development and production of high-tech medical devices.Products include almost all devices, instruments, and equipment that are utilized in modern oral health practices. 

During our recent trip to IDS 2023, we spoke to Jane Li, Global Sales Director at Runyes Group to see what the company has been up to, and all the details on their newest intraoral scanner - the Runyes 3.0.
