On March 7, 2024, Hubei Technology Exchange organized experts to evaluate the scientific and technological achievements of the “Application of Radio Frequency Ultrasonic Tools and Equipment” independently developed by our company. The participating expert groups carefully reviewed the evaluation materials and listened to the results report. After questioning and discussing the project’s technological maturity, technological innovation, and technological advancement, Wuhan Half the Sky’s “Application of Radio Frequency Ultrasonic Tools and Equipment” project officially passed the scientific and technological achievement appraisal, and overall reached the international advanced level.
The expert group attending the meeting unanimously believed that the “Application of Radio Frequency Ultrasonic Tools and Equipment” project has a number of innovative achievements, reaching the highest level 9 in terms of technological maturity, the highest level 4 in technological innovation, and the highest level 6 in technological advancement (the highest level 7), and the overall level has reached the international advanced level!
1. The maximum blood vessel diameter that can be closed is 7mm.
We have developed and produced a new type of minimally invasive surgical instrument that integrates radio frequency and ultrasound. It can achieve the simultaneous output of two types of energy, complete the closing and cutting effects of tissues and blood vessels during surgery, greatly enhance the coagulation effect of surgical wounds, improve cutting efficiency, and can achieve the closure of blood vessels with a maximum diameter of 7mm.
2. Radio frequency ultrasound can be output simultaneously
The innovative and comprehensive use of photoelectric isolation, electromagnetic shielding and other technologies solves the problem of mutual interference of radiofrequency ultrasound signals, allowing two radiofrequency ultrasound energies to be output at the same time, improving surgical efficiency and ensuring the stability and safety of cutting during surgery.
3. One host and one cutter head
Developed and produced a new type of integrated host system that combines simultaneous output functions of radio frequency and ultrasound.
At present, the results have been successfully applied in many medical units across the country, including Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Jiangsu Cancer Hospital, and have achieved good economic and social benefits.
Wuhan Half the Sky is one of the earliest high-tech medical device companies in China engaged in independent research and development of ultrasonic scalpels. It has long been committed to the research, development and innovation of ultrasonic scalpel technology, actively promotes domestic substitution of high-end medical devices, and realizes the localization of high-value medical consumables.
At the end of 2023, Half the Sky successfully developed my country’s first 7mm high-frequency ultrasound dual-output surgical system (BT-RUS-T200), and obtained the national Class III medical device registration certificate, breaking the long-standing 5mm bottleneck of domestic ultrasonic scalpel technology. This equipment makes up for the limitations of the existing single ultrasonic scalpel technology and achieves a technological breakthrough of “one host machine and one blade, cutting and coagulating at the same time, closing large blood vessels up to 7mm”, making doctors’ operations more efficient and safer.
Qiu Xuewen, general manager of Wuhan Half the Sky, said that this appraisal of scientific and technological achievements is an affirmation of Wuhan Half the Sky’s long-term persistence in independent innovation. The Kukashow BT-RUS-T200 ultrasonic radio frequency surgical system will soon participate in the centralized procurement in many provinces across the country. Half the Sky hopes to bring tangible benefits to hospitals, doctors and patients at a more affordable price, promote China’s independently developed advanced radio frequency ultrasonic scalpel technology to the international stage, and make the mission of “Healthy Half the Sky Benefit All Humanity” come true!
In the future, Wuhan Half the Sky will continue to adhere to the concept of innovation-led development and continue to develop more high-quality and advanced medical device products. We are willing to join hands with all partners to contribute more to the progress and development of China’s medical device industry.
