The MedBot® robot, independently developed by MicroPort® Robotics, was approved by the National Medical Products Administration in January 2022 and received multi-department registration in September 2023. On May 7, 2024, the MedBot® laparoscopic surgical robot system received CE certification (MDR) from the European Union, applicable for urological, general surgical, thoracic, and gynecological endoscopic surgeries.


NO.3 Innovative Surgical Technique Developed with the Healinno Medical Waterjet Robot!

Beijing University First Hospital, as one of the main research institutions in Healinno Medical's® national multicenter registration clinical trials, recently made a significant breakthrough in the field of urology. Under the leadership of Deputy Dean Zhang Kai, Dr. Meng Yisen and Dr. Xiao Yunxiang jointly developed an innovative surgical technique using the metaFlow® waterjet surgical robot, providing new treatment options for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Through innovative trials, the urology team at Peking University Hospital continuously explores and optimizes surgical procedures, improving the safety and effectiveness of surgeries. The successful implementation of these surgeries not only provides more precise treatment options for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia but also lays a solid foundation for the future development of minimally invasive urological surgeries.


NO.4 Approved by NMPA! Naton Spine & Trauma Navigation System

On August 7, 2024, Naton Group's independently developed orthopedic surgical navigation system successfully obtained Class III registration certification from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).

Naton's orthopedic surgical navigation system is compatible with two types of surgeries: spinal pedicle screw insertion and trauma hollow screw implantation. Its navigation feature allows for the virtual visualization of the patient's bone structure and surgical tools, displaying the real-time relationship between the surgical tools and the patient's bone structure. This enables surgeries to be performed with smaller incisions, less bleeding, and lower intraoperative X-ray exposure, thus empowering clinical practice and advancing the digital diagnosis and treatment in orthopedics, ultimately benefiting patients more effectively.


NO.5 Soft Body Rehabilitation Robot Completes Pre-A Round

Recently, Sirrem Medical announced the completion of a multi-million yuan Pre-A financing round. The financing was co-invested by Ningbo Venture Capital Fund and Ningbo Angel Fund.

Targeting rehabilitation needs of patients with limb disabilities caused by neurological damages such as stroke, hand trauma, spinal cord injury, and burns, Sirrem Medical independently developed an innovative rehabilitation product—the hand function soft body rehabilitation robot. This product integrates passive rehabilitation, master-slave mirror rehabilitation, and brain-computer interface (BCI)-based movement imagination rehabilitation, alleviating finger joint edema and stiffness, enhancing hand muscle strength, promoting neural rehabilitation in the brain, and helping patients seize the "golden period" of rehabilitation.

Sirrem Medical's core competitive edge lies in its mastery of soft body robot core technology and advanced neural rehabilitation algorithms. The deep integration of software and hardware creates a bionic soft body robot structure, not only enhancing flexibility and universality but also significantly reducing the risk of secondary injuries associated with traditional rigid robots, ensuring safe and effective rehabilitation.

Moreover, the multi-sensor fusion control algorithm ensures precise and visualized rehabilitation training, constructing a comprehensive rehabilitation pathway from stimulating limbs to monitoring progress, accelerating the rehabilitation process, and enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Its modular design and assembly shorten the production cycle, with a compact and user-friendly machine design.


NO.6 Installed in Multiple Hospitals! YakeBot's New Generation Orthopedic Robot

Recently, YakeBot Technology has been making significant strides, successfully entering several private clinics, including Baoding Zhongbei Dental Hospital, Ordos Aochi Dental, Minquan Xinxing Dental, and Shanxi Yongmei Dental.

Founded in September 2017, YakeBot is a "hard tech" company specializing in the research, development, production, and technical services of medical surgical robots. The company has independently developed a dental implant robot capable of high-precision intraoral positioning and autonomous surgical operations. It has pioneered the world's first autonomous robotic dental implant surgery, and its technologies are considered industry-leading. The company is committed to revitalizing China's medical robot industry and strives to break the monopoly of imported products.

The company's products, including the "YakeBot Oral Surgical Robot" and the "DentalNavi Digital Implant Design Software," have been launched in the market. With nearly 1,000 clinical surgeries performed, they have been recognized by over a hundred Grade-A hospitals and private clinics. Patients who have undergone implant procedures with the YakeBot Oral Surgical Robot report comfortable and pain-free experiences during surgery, time-saving immediate restorations, and excellent postoperative recovery.
