Interventional Robot Of WeMed Medical Ranked in The Industrial List
The "2021 Medical Robot Enterprise Ranking List" was released by the "Internet Weekly" under the supervision of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Deben Consulting, and eNet Research Institute. WeMed Medical is on the list with its fully self-developed vascular interventional robot---ETcath, which is the only vascular interventional surgery robot on the list. Since 2014, WeMed Medical a Chinese brand that provides full series of complete interventional treatment solutions and realized the industrialization of Digital X-Ray Angiography System, Mobile Cath Lab system, Mobile C Arm X-Ray Machine, and Interventional Robot.
The Evaluation Standards
The ranking of medical robot companies is evaluated by iPower, iFuture, and iBrand.
iPower: the status and influence of the enterprise, which refers to the operating strength since the establishment of the enterprise.
iFuture: examines the future development of the enterprise.
iBrand: evaluates word-of-mouth, especially in the industry, mainly by industrial experts and professionals to carry out the corresponding evaluation and scoring of the enterprise.
About The Interventional Robot---ETcath
Adhering to the concept of "Innovation for Health" for creating brand new domestic products. It is worth mentioning that in the field of vascular interventional surgery robots, WeMed Medical has achieved many technological breakthroughs. The ETcath vascular intervention robot is completely domestically developed and self-developed. It has obtained more than 100 international and domestic patents.
In 2021, the first PCI operation was completed with ETcath by Professor Zhou Yujie’s team. The ETcath is the first domestic self-developed vascular interventional surgery robot that supports multiple types of catheters. It was the first clinical case of balloon dilatation and coronary stent implantation by using the domestic vascular interventional robot---ETcath.
As Professor Zhou said, assisted by ETcath, It can not only make the surgery more precise and reduce the complications of patients, but also avoid the damage of X-ray radiation. During the whole process, guidewire manipulation, balloon delivery, stent delivery, and IVUS catheter push were all completed by ETcath.
The Future of Vascular Interventional Robot
In today's development of innovation-driven, along with the progress of science and technology, the medical device industry is also gradually changing. In the field of interventional vascular medicine, the significance and value of vascular interventional robots are becoming more and more significant.
Firstly, it can lower the threshold of interventional surgery, and solve practical problems for more patients. Secondly, it can effectively reduce the learning cost of interventional surgery doctors and promote the optimization of medical resources. Thirdly, the interventional robot can solve the pain points of doctors. Compared with traditional interventional procedures, the use of robots can significantly improve the surgical environment and greatly reduce physical harm for interventional doctors.
The development of robotic technology for vascular interventional surgery may break the status quo of unbalanced medical resources. With the help of 5G technology, surgery can be completed remotely. Moreover, it is also expected to self-learn through AI, It will make interventional surgery safer and more efficient soon.
