In the exhibition hall of Xinhua Surgical Instruments, a 3D fluorescence endoscopic image processing system is placed in a prominent position, which carries the fruit of the enterprise's innovation and shoulders the important task of breaking the monopoly of the industry. ‘This is our latest research and development results, will soon complete the product registration, and then listed for sale, is expected to break the situation of similar high-end medical equipment is monopolised by imported products, to accelerate the process of localisation substitution.’ Wang Zhengfa introduced.


This product combines three innovative technologies: the domestic leading 3D+4K+fluorescence 3-in-1 fusion imaging technology, which makes the surgical field of view clearer and more three-dimensional; the enterprise's original full-focus auto-focusing technology, which ensures that the picture is always accurately in focus during the surgical process; and the province's efforts to promote the AI AI+5G cutting-edge technology, which provides a guarantee of surgical safety and the sharing of medical resources. Among them, 4K ultra-high-definition imaging technology provides accurate observation with high resolution, making tiny blood vessels and fascial tissues invisible; special fluorescence imaging technology breaks through the limitations of traditional white-light imaging, detecting lesion tissues that are difficult to identify under white-light imaging, helping to accurately identify the boundary of the tumour and reducing the risk of post-operative recurrence; and 3D stereoscopic imaging function enhances the surgeon's perception of the space and location, improving surgical operation precision of surgical operation.

Of particular concern is that AI artificial intelligence technology is the first time applied in this type of products, not only can identify and track gauze, instruments and nerve tissue, guiding the doctor to avoid surgical risks, but also has the ‘self-learning ability’ to fit the doctor's personalised needs. The 5G video technology closely connects the camera system, digital operating room, teaching centre and remote consultation to achieve intelligent, networked and real-time management and expand the accessibility of medical resources. The scientific and technological achievements of the product were assessed as ‘domestic leading’ level by the expert group of the provincial industry association, and selected as ‘2024 Shandong Province Enterprise Science and Technology Innovation Project’ plan by the provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, and also successively won the ‘Shandong Province Medical Device Industry Association Science and Technology Award’. It has also won the first prize of ‘Shandong Medical Device Industry Association Science and Technology Award’, the second prize of ‘Shandong Science and Technology Association Eighth Innovation Competition for Science and Technology Workers’ and many other honours, and its strength is highly recognized.
