The original bidding price of up to 30,000 yuan, the latest bidding price has been reduced to less than 10,000; the original arrogant, price-cutting giants like toothpaste, in the latest tender, the surgical equipment will be reduced by 30%...
In the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park in Shanghai, there is a national biomedical science and technology industry base, where a group of innovative enterprises in the field of biomedicine and domestic medical devices are gathered, so it is known as “Zhangjiang Medicine Valleyâ€. In the field of medical devices, with the cost-effective products, these “Made in Shanghai†speed up “import substitution†in a number of sub-sectors, bringing new evangelism to the health of domestic residents.

"Huawei" dream in the field of medical devices
In a tumor surgery, at the final suture stage, the doctor took out a device that resembled a "pistol" and gently pulled the trigger. The patient's wound was sewed with a row of neat titanium nails. Compared with previous manual sutures, the new surgical instruments achieve a stronger bite force and the bleeding point is greatly reduced.
Yisi Medical: large angle multi-function mirror cutting stapler
"This minimally invasive surgical instrument for tumor surgery is the "endoscopic stapler" developed by Shanghai Yisi Medical Technology Co., Ltd." In the surgical operation, the stapler is called 'gun' and the ultrasonic knife is called 'knife'. According to the size of the instrument, there are long guns and short knives. “Nie Honglin, founder and chief scientist of Yisi Medical, said that the work of Yisi Medical is to provide doctors in the frontline of clinical surgery with “Shenzhen Gunsâ€.

"High-quality products, Yi Si contends" - using the phrase in the "Pawns Preface" of the Southern and Northern Dynasties to name the enterprise, clearly conveys the ambition of Yi Si. "We want to be Huawei in the field of medical devices." Nie Honglin said.
Similar words, another joint medical equipment company in Shanghai has also expressed. Although the subdivisions are different, the goals of these medical device companies are the same: like Huawei, with independent research and development of cost-effective products, and international giants compete.
Judging from the current progress, Yisi Medical can say that the first battle is successful: the endoscopic stapler developed by the company has expanded the angle of bending from 42 degrees to 60 degrees, from two-hand operation to one-hand operation. Don't underestimate these changes. In some low rectal cancer operations, due to the limitation of the angle of the imported product, the doctor can only remove the entire tumor from the patient's tumor. Through continuous experimentation with doctors, the innovative technology of Essence Medical brings better choices for clinical treatment.
A 30% share of the provincial market in one year, allowing foreign giants to cut prices by 30% at a time
In the medical device bidding of a province last year, the first-time Yisi Medical, and the international giants Medtronic and Johnson and Johnson stood on the same bidding line. In the end, Yi Si won the bid, and the international giant's offer also dropped directly by 30%. Prior to this, the one-off decline of foreign-funded enterprises was only around 5%.
"This shows that in the field of minimally invasive surgical instruments, Chinese companies are gradually turning from running to running, and will become the leader in the future." Nie Honglin said.
The response from domestic hospitals illustrates this: Since the results of the provincial tenders were announced in February last year, the products of Yisi Medical have entered the top ten hospitals in Zhejiang in less than a year, with a market share of about 30%. This has caused the international giants to step up their collection of information and carry out a "fixed blow" to Yisi Medical.
The end result of import substitution is to benefit the majority of domestic patients. Nie Honglin said that an ultrasonic hemostatic knife developed by Yisi Medical has been reduced to one-fourth of imported disposable products due to its technical reusability. "After the price drops, the medical insurance can withstand, and the patient's coverage will increase by tens of times."
Minimally invasive fire eagle coronary rapamycin targeted eluting stent system RV4013
Such stories have been repeated in the field of medical devices in recent years. For example, cardiovascular stents, imported products have monopolized the Chinese market at a price of 30,000 yuan each. After the establishment of Shanghai MicroPort Medical Devices Group, it has developed the first domestic balloon dilatation catheter, the first coronary stent and the first A drug-eluting stent pulls the price of imported products down to 1/3. At the beginning of minimally invasive surgery, the amount of cardiac stent surgery in China was only 5,000 cases per year. After the price dropped sharply, the amount of surgery in 2016 has increased to 660,000 cases.
Good wind relies on strength to send me to Qingyun: regulatory innovation brings new impetus
From the initial scorpion gauze, to high-end surgical instruments, medical consumables, to large-scale CT, nuclear magnetic equipment, in the medical equipment, a multi-disciplinary high-tech industry covering life sciences, machinery, electronics, materials, etc., domestic enterprises step by step The heel and the sound of the charge are both benefited from their own efforts and cannot be driven by the supervision of the New Deal.
At the end of last year, the Shanghai Free Trade Zone took the lead in piloting the medical device registrant system. After the reform, qualified medical device companies can apply for a product registration certificate separately, and then entrust the manufacturing process to a qualified and capable production enterprise to realize the “relaxation†of product registration and production license, so that the innovation results are more easily available.
“Building a medical device production workshop requires at least 5 million yuan in construction costs and more than one year of review cycle,†said Tian Sheng, vice president of quality policy at Yisi Medical. Chen Wei, dean of the Zhangjiang Platform Economic Research Institute, said that the implementation of the registrant system and commissioned production, in addition to greatly speeding up the listing cycle of new products, can also avoid duplication of construction and waste of resources, and alleviate the problem of tight land resources in Shanghai.
According to statistics from the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration, 26 medical device products have entered the special approval process for innovative medical devices in Shanghai, which accounts for nearly one-fifth of the national total.
By deepening the country's reform and opening up, Yisi Medical's gaze is also aimed at a vast overseas market.
Nie Honglin said that Yisi Medical has participated in the establishment of the “One Belt and One Road†expert association for minimally invasive techniques for thoracic surgery. It will use the national “Belt and Road†initiative to promote China's minimally invasive surgical solutions to the world.
