Monarch Molding Inc, based in Council Grove, KS, was known for providing high-quality disposable anoscopes, particularly the 1891C slotted anoscope, to physicians and clinics for several decades. Unfortunately, they have closed, leaving a significant void in the healthcare market for practitioners who relied on their products. After receiving only a brief email stating, 'we are closed, the molds are gone, have a nice day,' we decided to take action. We are currently working to fill that gap with a near-identical product, incorporating some enhancements.
Redfield, a name that is synonymous with the infrared coagulation treatment of hemorrhoids, was closing its doors after four decades. We stepped in, taking over operations in Oct of 2025. The sterile disposable sheaths were back in production by the end of October. Orders are now fulfilled same day. Lightguides are again available, and handsets will be back in stock by mid-June 2026. Complete units, including an upgraded base unit will be available by mid-August 2026.
Partnering up with the team that kept Redfield operational, we organized and registered our LLC in Missouri, which is also Redfield's location. Our engineering team has successfully completed their tasks, and a mold for the R 1891C disposable anoscopes has been produced. We made some design improvements. The scope can be oriented externally as the small tab (same size as the original) is centered on the slot and the tab opposite the slot has been widened. UPDATE We have scopes available for shipment the first week of September.
At this time, we have, back in production, a near identical 1891C slotted anoscope, which we believe is a necessary tool for our partners at Redfield and the practitioners who utilize their IRC machines. This focus on the 1891C slotted anoscope is our main priority. Other products may follow as the need is identified.
We understand the challenges faced by professionals in the healthcare industry, especially when dealing with products like the 1891c and disposable anoscopes. Reimbursement rates have not kept pace with inflation for over two decades, making it more important than ever to keep your costs low. While we do not have current pricing available for our anoscope but are committed to targeting a price point similar to what you paid in the past. Additionally, discounts will be available for larger quantities. As healthcare providers, you encounter enough challenges, and the rising costs of essential items for your practice, such as anoscopes, shouldn't add to that burden.
