Domestic medical robots have entered a stage of rapid growth?

On February 17, at the Robotic Remote Surgery Center of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, doctors sent surgical instructions to the robotic arm in the operating room of Xinjiang Corps Alar Hospital thousands of miles away through the domestically developed minimally invasive surgical robot console, successfully A local patient underwent cholecystectomy, and the surgical robot operated on site is the first four-arm laparoscopic robot using 5G technology to achieve ultra-remote surgery in China. Produce.

Backed by new technology, "robot" doctors are smarter

Medical robots are a key application field of the robot industry. From 2014 to 2017, at least 100 medical robot start-up companies emerged in China, and more than 50 companies publicly disclosed financing. In recent years, many listed companies have also expanded their medical robot business, and some industrial robot companies or medical device companies have also launched medical robot business.

Tianzhihang, the first company in China to obtain a registration license for medical robots, launched the "Tianji II" orthopedic surgical robot on April 2, 2021. Adjust the positioning of the robotic arm under the monitoring of the robot to reduce the impact of slight displacement such as the patient's breathing on the nail placement, ensuring accurate and minimally invasive surgery.

On January 27, 2022, the Toumai endoscopic surgery robot independently developed by Minimally Invasive Medical Robotics was approved by the State Food and Drug Administration, becoming the only four-arm endoscopic surgery robot developed by a Chinese company and approved for marketing .

Although my country started late in the field of medical robots, affected by factors such as low penetration rate, long R&D cycle, and low domestic market share, it has developed rapidly recently. With the extensive and profound integration of medical robots with more disciplines, as well as 5G, big data, smart sensors, rapid gene sequencing, molecular diagnostics, micro-nano manufacturing, flexible and extendable electronic devices, wearable devices, artificial intelligence, absorbable With the application of new technologies such as biomaterials, medical robots are becoming more and more intelligent, understanding more and more what doctors want them to do, and even becoming a "robot" doctor in a certain professional field.
