Collagen is a triple helical protein which can be considered as the bio-glue inside our body; in fact, animal glue can be obtained by boiling the animal skin. Collagen, a major component of connective tissues, exits in the extracellular space of these tissues which are the key reinforcing and bonding materials for all tissues and organs throughout our body, forming rigid structures as such bone, semi-rigid tissues such as cartilage, or soft tissues such as muscle, tendon, skin, ligaments, and cell membranes, etc. There are different forms (fibrillar and non- fibrillar) and types of collagens in the body; Type 1 being the major type constitutes over 90% in our body and is the major component in skin, tendon, vascular ligature, organs, bone (main component of the organic part of bone). Because collagen is an essential building material of all tissues and organs, it has many medical uses, such as in cardiac (hear) applications, cosmetic surgery, bone grafts, tissue regeneration, reconstructive surgical uses, and wound healing care.
Collagen is created inside fibroblast cells, and this process is needed to support the creation and repair of the body`s connective tissues. However, the biological process starts to breakdown when we are aging, normally after we reach the age of late 20s or early 30s. Because collagen from natural sources such as animal, fish scales or plant contain essentially the same amino acid compositions (glycine, proline, alanine, hydroxyproline, glutamic acid, arginine, aspartic acid, serine, lysine, leucine, valine, threonine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, etc.) as human collagen, supplement the body with the natural collagen, either by dermal application or through oral ingestion, can help rejuvenate collagen creation process to support the repairing of aging connective tissues in our body, particularly those in our skin, and to reverse or slow down the aging process for a more youthful appearance.

Minimally invasive surgery is one of the high-tech achievements in the medical world. Compared with surgery, the advantages of minimally invasive surgery are that it can greatly reduce the surgical wound area, avoid excessive exposure of tissues in the body, reduce the resulting infection, make patients recover faster, and shorten hospital stay and reduce medical expenses. Combined with advanced electronic imaging diagnostic techniques (such as CT, MRI, etc.), minimally invasive surgery minimizes the in vivo trauma caused by traditional surgery.
A representative of a minimally invasive surgical instrument is an endoscope. Through a keyhole-sized hole or a small incision, it can perform various surgical operations such as resection of the abdominal organ lesions, malformation correction, repair or reconstruction, and finally achieve therapeutic purposes. The minimally invasive intra-abdominal operation with laparoscopic surgery has a good prognosis, few sequelae, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy, partial resection of the liver and pancreas, gastrectomy, partial resection of the intestine, etc. surgery.
Automatic stapler:
Great market potential
Hanging equipment:
Fill the gynecological minimally invasive device blank disc surgical instruments:
The medical profession in China rarely implemented minimally invasive surgery ten years ago. The main reason was that there was no supporting minimally invasive surgical instruments in China. In 1998, after returning to China to establish the first minimally invasive surgical instrument company in China, MicroPort Medical Devices (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., China's minimally invasive device industry began to take off, and gradually developed a group of independent Domestic minimally invasive surgical instrument products with intellectual property rights. These products fill the gap in the domestic minimally invasive surgical equipment market, breaking the long-standing monopoly of large European and American companies on China's minimally invasive surgical equipment market.
Automatic stapler:
Great market potential
In recent years, a number of medical device companies in China have actively developed new products for minimally invasive surgical instruments. Beijing Ruiqi Surgical Instrument Co., Ltd. recently developed an "automatic suturing device under the endoscope".
According to reports, with this automatic suturing device, the doctor only needs to sit in front of the display screen to carefully monitor the surgical procedure, and the device can suture the surgical wound without having to do it yourself. This not only reduces human error, ensures surgical quality, shortens wound healing time (because the surgical incision is small), and greatly reduces the surgeon's work intensity. Industry experts believe that the new minimally invasive surgical instruments are expected to quickly occupy the domestic market.
Hanging equipment:
Filling gaps in gynecological minimally invasive devices
Hangzhou Guangdian Medical Devices Co., Ltd. has developed a new type of minimally invasive surgical instrument - a hanging type minimally invasive surgical instrument. The product is suitable for a variety of complex gynecological operations such as abortion, hysterectomy, tubal ligation, fallopian tube recanalization, ectopic pregnancy surgery, cervicitis surgery. The utility model has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation, and is suitable for township hospitals.
Experts said that the advent of hanging minimally invasive surgical instruments has filled the gap in minimally invasive surgical instruments in domestic obstetrics and gynecology, which has brought good news to women patients.
Intervertebral disc surgical instruments:
Lock frontier technology
Disc herniation is a common multiple disease. Some patients are in bed because of frequent episodes, which is very painful. Shandong Jinan Guanlong Surgical Instrument Co., Ltd. independently developed a new minimally invasive surgical instrument product for the treatment of disc herniation.
According to reports, the working principle of the device is that under the surveillance of the imaging system, the doctor performs percutaneous puncture for the patient with disc herniation, directly reaches the intervertebral disc, and makes a small hole in the annulus to suck out the protein-like nucleus substance. In order to reduce the pressure in the disc, eliminate the compression of the cauda equina, and finally restore the patient's ability to move and walk.
According to industry insiders, the percutaneous discectomy system is a new type of minimally invasive surgical instruments specially developed in recent years for the treatment of disc herniation. It is not easy for Chinese enterprises to independently develop similar products.
Minimally invasive cosmetic equipment:
Demand is rising
With the improvement of the living standards of urban and rural residents in China, the demand for beauty and facelift has increased significantly. The cosmetic industry has now developed into a large industry with an annual output value of hundreds of billions of yuan.
The insiders know that if the surgery leaves an unsightly scar on the surgeon's face, it is a surgical failure. In this way, medical institutions may not only face huge claims, but also suffer huge losses in their reputation. Therefore, how to prevent scarring after cosmetic surgery has become a major issue in the cosmetic industry. According to foreign media reports, Korean doctors can achieve first-class level in plastic surgery technology, relying heavily on advanced minimally invasive surgical instruments.
In recent years, a number of new minimally invasive surgical instruments for cosmetic (cosmetic) have been developed and marketed in China. Among them, the "fiber mirror" with advanced technical performance can make only a small incision on the surgeon's skin, which can make the face wrinkle, fill Collagen, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, remove belly or buttock fat for the surgeon. A variety of cosmetic surgery. Some domestic companies have independently developed minimally invasive surgical suture needles and sutures for microscopic cosmetic surgery. The fineness of such a suture needle is so small that it is difficult to see with the naked eye. It can be used for suturing tiny blood vessels and tiny wounds on the skin of the face, leaving no unsightly scars after suturing.
Industry experts said that the cosmetic industry has become the most profitable industry in the medical industry, and China's cosmetic industry is still in its infancy. In the face of the rapid development of the plastic surgery industry, domestic enterprises should step up the development of advanced minimally invasive surgical equipment products suitable for the use of the cosmetic industry.
Medical laser:
R&D started earlier
In foreign countries, medical lasers have been classified as minimally invasive surgical instruments. At present, the annual sales of medical lasers on the international market are as high as tens of billions of dollars. China's research and development of medical lasers is no less than that of foreign countries. In the application of surgical lasers, some important progress has been made, such as the use of domestic ruby ​​lasers to remove facial spots, remove hair, dental surgery, correct eye diopter and Various minimally invasive surgery such as blood vessel dredging. Many domestic hospitals have been equipped with domestic medical lasers, such as CO2 laser scalpels.
It is understood that the minimally invasive surgical device (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., which is the earliest in the country to produce minimally invasive surgical instruments, has produced drug stents, coronary stent systems, balloon dilatation catheters, angiographic catheters, guiding catheters, abdominal aortic aneurysms, etc. Artificial vascular stents, as well as a variety of other types of lumen stents and stents, cardiothoracic retractors and cervical disc prostheses, and hundreds of different types of minimally invasive surgical instruments. These products have been put into use in hundreds of hospitals across the country, and some products have passed the certifications of the European Union, Japan and other countries, and have successfully entered the international market.
It is worth noting that the Ministry of Science and Technology of China has included high-end minimally invasive surgical instruments in the national “Eleventh Five-Year†development plan, including: high-end minimally invasive surgery robots listed as “865†plan; Speculum (ie fiberscope); the body can absorb micro-plywood, screws, etc.; ultra-fine absorbable suture. It is foreseeable that the new minimally invasive surgical instruments will become a promising medical device product in China, and its market space is huge. (China Medical News)
