The 29-province electrosurgery VBP alliance has opened secondary protocol volume confirmation under Document Xiang Yibao Zhao Cai Han [2026] No. 61—reshaping two years of market share allocation.
Three decisive rules
Non-selected brands: all reported volume voided. Revived selections: retain only 50% base volume. Price-corrected selections: lose incremental allocation eligibility.
Incremental pool mechanics
Unallocated volume equals all voided non-selected volume plus 50% released from revived brands. Hospitals must fully assign increments within each bid group among compliant selected products; price-corrected items are excluded.
Brand outcomes
Normal selected brands without price correction lock 80% base volume and compete for all increments. Revived brands keep half their base. Non-selected and price-corrected brands face severe share loss.
Twocan dual-energy system as a compliant benchmark
Twocan was normally selected without price correction—retaining full base volume rights and incremental eligibility—while offering low-temperature performance, minimal smoke, and broad specialty coverage from needles to hooks and forceps.
Hospitals and distributors should complete confirmation during the May 18–26 window and prioritize stable, compliant, clinically proven products.
