YANGZHOU, China, Feb. 15,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Meihua International Medical
Technologies Co., Ltd. ("MHUA" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MHUA), a
reputable manufacturer and provider of Class I, II and III
disposable medical devices with operating subsidiaries in
China, today announced the Company
has built up a team to lead the research and development of a
robotic surgical system and efforts to apply for approval for
production launch. The Company plans to engage in the design of a
surgical robotic assisted surgery ("RAS") system and the
integration of related software and hardware.
An RAS system generally consists of one or more arms that are
controlled by the surgeon, a master controller or console, and
which use a sensory system providing feedback to the user. RAS
enables remote surgery that combines elements of robotics and
telecommunications such as high-speed data connections and elements
of management information systems. Most domestic robotics companies
are in the midstream, designing their own robotic systems,
integrating hardware and software, often buying core components
from abroad.
The Company sees great market potential for RAS systems in
China. With a huge and aging
population but limited medical resources that are allocated
unevenly across the country, the significant gap in medical
resources in different areas gives rise to a pressing need for
medical RAS systems that could potentially help in completing
complex surgical operations in a more intelligent, safe and
efficient manner while reducing the uneven distribution of medical
resources and help medical staff more easily to master operation
skills to alleviate their workload.
Mr. Xin Wang, CEO of the Company,
commented: "We are excited to announce our plan regarding the
robotic assisted surgical system. Our new team is also working on
the early-stage planning of production capacity as we believe
market demand for such a system will be strong in China given the rapid development of relevant
technologies. With continuing advances in communication
technologies, the availability of greater bandwidth and more
powerful computers, the ease and cost-effectiveness of deploying
remote surgery units is likely to increase rapidly. Chinese
government policy supports innovative medical equipment, has a
green channel in place to speed up the approval process and our
Company will use this special policy in an effort to speed the path
to market and obtain the relevant license and clearance. The
Company has the potential and will endeavor to grasp this market
opportunities in order to drive and sustain meaningful growth well
into the future."
Currently 85% of surgeries in China are traditionally practiced, compared to
53% in the US. In the US, 68% of surgical procedures could have
been performed with robotic assistance, but only 4% were. According
to Precedence Research, the global surgical robotics market is set
to hit $21.3 billion by 2030 and
growing at a CAGR of 16.6% from 2022 to 2030. China presently has a low base of RAS usage
and availability and PWC forecasts that RAS usage in China will grow at a faster rate than in much
of the world. Meanwhile The Chinese government has also been a
strong advocate of medical robotics systems in its Healthy China
2030 plan, emphasizing that innovation and informatization are
critical factors for public health and that using medical robotic
systems could address the major gap between the supply of and
demand for medical resources, indicating the strength and market
potential of robotic assisted surgical systems in China.
