Banqiu Medical, a BBT Medical subsidiary in Hunan, achieved a major colorectal surgery milestone: clinical results with its patented scissor-type bipolar ablation device (Likasharp) were published in Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery (2026, Issue 6), with operative video released concurrently.
As a leading core journal in gastrointestinal surgery, the publication reflects strong recognition of BBT’s proprietary anorectal minimally invasive technology.
Core breakthrough: original device plus dedicated technique
The study pairs two proprietary BBT patents—Likasharp and hemorrhoid bipolar RF ablation—into an integrated device-and-technique solution addressing limitations of conventional anorectal energy tools.
Patented Likasharp bipolar ablation scissors
Unlike conventional monopolar or single-pole RF tools, Likasharp offers low-temperature coagulation-cutting with minimal charring, simultaneous cutting and vessel sealing, and scissor-like ergonomics for a short learning curve.
Patented hemorrhoid bipolar RF ablation
The dedicated technique grasps hemorrhoid pedicle tissue with Likasharp and applies controlled bipolar RF ablation for precise, depth-controlled coagulation and shrinkage while preserving dentate line and anal skin function.
Original, feasible, and practical
The fully domestic, independently developed system requires no expensive staplers or complex platforms—suitable for routine ORs and outpatient settings and aligned with tiered care and day-surgery trends.
Industry-academia collaboration
The publication results from close collaboration between leading clinical teams and BBT engineers—from case enrollment and operative support to data analysis and manuscript preparation—demonstrating how domestic innovation and top clinical resources can produce academically validated solutions.
BBT Medical will continue advancing low-temperature bipolar RF technology to bring safe, efficient, and accessible Chinese minimally invasive solutions from journals to everyday practice.
