The Prospects of Minimally Invasive Surgical Instruments

Published by sinowares July 04,2024

    Minimally invasive surgery is one of the clinical achievements of high-tech surgery in the century. Minimally invasive surgical instruments are represented by endoscopes. Such as the use of a keyhole size of the hole or small incision, can be intraperitoneal organ resection, deformity correction, repair or reconstruction and other surgical procedures, and ultimately achieve the purpose of recovery. Minimally invasive surgery is different from the surgery of the last century is that the former can reduce the surgical wound area, to avoid the body caused by a substantial exposure to infection, and can make the patient faster recovery, shorten the hospital stay and costs. Minimally invasive surgery in developed countries is very popular, coupled with advanced electronic imaging diagnostic techniques (such as CT, MRI, etc.), minimally invasive surgical instruments can be caused by traditional surgical procedures to reduce the degree of injury to the light. Therefore, foreign medical researchers believe that minimally invasive surgery is a "cross-century milestone." Such as the use of laparoscopy can not only remove the lesion gallbladder, but also for liver, pancreatic partial resection, gastrectomy, partial resection and other complex surgery, and the use of laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery in patients with mostly good prognosis, few sequelae. Now a new type of endoscope (also known as TV laparoscopy), which is directly connected to an electronic imaging system, has been developed, making it possible for many intraperitoneal operations such as gynecological surgery, intracardiac surgery, and ophthalmic microsurgery.

Industry Start

    China's clinical medicine industry in 10 years ago, rarely do minimally invasive surgery, the main reason is subject to the lack of supporting the domestic minimally invasive surgical instruments products. Since 1998, a returned overseas student in Shanghai, China minimally invasive surgical equipment company - minimally invasive medical equipment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., China's minimally invasive equipment industry began to start, and finally with independent intellectual property rights of domestic minimally invasive Surgical instruments. Domestic minimally invasive equipment products not only fill the gaps in the market, but also broke the European and American companies for a long time on China's minimally invasive surgical instrument market monopoly situation. China's earliest operation of the Shanghai minimally invasive surgical instruments company has been able to produce several series, hundreds of specifications of the minimally invasive device products, including: drug stent, coronary stent system, balloon dilatation catheter, angiography catheter, Catheters, abdominal cavity and other artificial vascular stent, a variety of luminal stent and stent placement device, cardiothoracic surgery retractor and cervical disc prosthesis and other minimally invasive surgical instruments. These products not only in the country hundreds of hospitals put into use, but also through the EU and Japan and other countries of the certification, and successfully enter the Western market.

Depth Development

    Over the past few years, many Chinese medical equipment companies began to develop their own minimally invasive new products. According to the domestic media reports, Beijing Ricky Surgery Instruments recently developed a "endoscopic automatic suture device" new products. The product can greatly reduce the intensity of the surgeon's work, the doctor just sit in front of the display carefully observed intra-abdominal surgery process, without their own hands, you can sew the wound good. In this way, not only can reduce the artificial error, to ensure the quality of surgery, but also to shorten the wound healing time (because the surgical incision is smaller). Ricky's new product of this minimally invasive device will quickly occupy the domestic hospital market. Hangzhou Light Code minimally invasive equipment company listed last year, a new type of minimally invasive surgical instruments - hanging minimally invasive surgical instruments. The product is suitable for a variety of gynecological surgery, including hysterectomy, tubal ligation (or fallopian tube rehabilitation), gynecological surgery and other complex surgery. Its structure is simple, easy to operate, especially suitable for use in township hospitals. "Hanging minimally invasive surgical instruments" come out to fill the gaps in the domestic obstetric minimally invasive surgical instruments, so as to bring the gospel for the majority of women.

    Intervertebral disc pain is a common clinical multiple disease. Patients often frequent illness and bedridden, very painful. Shandong Jinan Guanlong Surgical Instruments has independently developed a new minimally invasive surgical instrument that can treat intervertebral pain. The working principle is that under the supervision of the imaging system, the doctor performs percutaneous puncture for the intervertebral disc, Within the fiber ring to play a small hole, which protein class "nucleus material" suck out, reduce the pressure inside the disc to eliminate the oppression of the cauda equina, the patient can eventually restore the activities and walking ability. Percutaneous puncture intervertebral disc surgery system is developed in recent years, a set of recently developed specifically for intervertebral pain in the new minimally invasive surgical device products, Chinese enterprises can independently develop similar products is not easy, which shows that China's medical equipment industry After 30 years of reform and opening up, has made great progress in the development of new medical equipment and foreign advanced level gap has been greatly reduced.

    In recent years, a number of special cosmetic minimally invasive surgical instruments of new products have been listed in China. After entering the 21st century, with the rapid improvement of the living standards of urban and rural residents in China, the demand for beauty has also risen sharply. The beauty industry has become a wide range of social needs, and more and more people are required to enter the hospital. There is no doubt that China's beauty industry has become a year to create 100 million yuan output value of large industries. The industry is aware that if the cosmetic  China's Ministry of Science and Technology a few years ago, high-end minimally invasive surgical instruments have been included in the national "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", including: 865 plan high-end minimally invasive surgical robots; 1mm following surgical endoscopy (ie fiber mirror); Can absorb micro-plywood, screws, etc .; ultra-fine absorption suture. These products will become an important tool for minimally invasive surgery in domestic hospitals. Is expected in the next few years, minimally invasive surgical instruments will become a better domestic development prospects of new medical equipment products, the market development space is very large rgery after the patient left the ugly scar that is a failed operation, not only faced with the huge claims of patients, but also affect the reputation of the hospital. So how to prevent the cosmetic surgery after the completion of the scar to become a major problem in the beauty industry. In recent years, the technical performance of advanced "fiber endoscopy" can be done on the skin only to open a very small incision, and then for the patient facial wrinkles or fill the collagen, rhinoplasty, remove the abdomen or buttocks fat and other conventional beauty surgery. With this match, the domestic enterprises have independently developed for microsurgical use of minimally invasive surgical suture needle and suture, needle fineness small to the naked eye simply can not see. It can not only stitched small blood vessels, but also for the facial skin minor wound suture, which will not leave ugly scar. Really after surgery "seamless". According to foreign media reports, Korean doctors is the use of advanced imports of minimally invasive surgical instruments, beauty technology in Asia and even world-class level. At present, the beauty industry has become a better income industry in the medical profession, and China has just started in the beauty industry, the ancients said well, "good work, we must first of its profits." The key is that domestic enterprises should increase the development of suitable for the beauty industry to use advanced micro-invasive equipment new products. I believe that as more and more companies to join the ranks of the development of new minimally invasive surgical instruments, the future of China will develop more suitable for cosmetic surgery minimally invasive new products.

    Medical lasers are also part of a minimally invasive surgical instrument product. Over the past 30 years, China has made significant progress in the application of laser applications. The use of domestic ruby lasers laser can be carried out, including the removal of facial spots, to hair sweat, dental surgery (tooth drilling), correct eyeball curvature (myopia surgery) and vascular stasis and other minimally invasive surgery. In foreign countries, medical lasers have been classified as minimally invasive surgical instruments. At present, the international market, medical laser sales of up to tens of billions of dollars. China's medical lasers in the research and development is not much behind the number of foreign. Now the basic hospital equipped with domestic medical lasers, such as CO2 laser scalpel in the domestic application has been very common.
