Academicians straight domestic medical device lacks high-end short of universal

As the tools to heal the sick, the medical equipment of price and quality has always been a topic of concern to patients, is also a fellow of focused topics.

Fellow of the Center Shanghai "held the day before yesterday to promote scientific and technological innovation, assist enterprises to develop" thematic salon, academicians points directly to the current Shanghai medical device industry's "missing".

The first "missing" is the lack of domestic high-end products.

Last year, the Shanghai medical device industry output value of about $ 12 billion, an increase of 17.4%, are facing a lack of product innovation, excessive dependence on imported products, primary health care sector equipment behind. Shanghai medical instruments Association Pan Ming long introduction, in medical device one, two, three categories of products, more high-end three products (such as implantable body of instruments), only two percent. Nine National Chiao Tung University affiliated hospital Orthopedic Physician Dyke inch Rong Fellows said, using artificial joints are non-local products, the industry has not yet formed a landmark products, core competitiveness and internationalization of the brand, "only cotton gauze may at the international level has its own brand". In fact, the domestic export structure of medical devices, surgical towels, massage apparatus, etc. is still the traditional projects.

High-end appliances home can significantly reduce health care costs, which in some high-tech enterprise in proof.

Minimally invasive medical devices (Shanghai) co., Ltd. after 10 years of innovation, research and development of the cardiovascular stent products. When the hospital almost all United States Johnson products, each bracket 3 million Yuan, has surgery to three, the patients to bear. Today, minimally invasive bracket for more than half the cost reduction, enabling a substantial reduction in foreign countries also to 1 million Yuan.

The second "missing" is the lack of new popular products.

Fudan University, Institute of biomedical instrumentation party Professor Sze, foreign-aid medical field of cardiopulmonary resuscitation apparatus has rendered popular trends. He said that after cardiovascular disease emergencies, such as 10 minutes after an adequate rescue measures mortality almost 100%. Because the United States has a large number of equipment is available for public to action "foolproof" cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment, patients in the hospital, where the success rate from past 1.4% to 31%. Last year the mass popularity of Japan first aid equipment, every 5000 community is equipped with a desk, and the density of the fire hydrants.

Party Sze, Fudan has also carried out research in this area, but there is no development of Shanghai enterprises join, only a field of industry leaders made a prototype.

Shanghai Jiaotong University life medical instrument Institute-Zhuhai Chen, academician believes that Shanghai medical device industry, universities and research institutes lack-in existence, but also the lack of a strategic vision of leading enterprises, "scientists in the hands of a good technique, but the opportunity, technology waste." Experts believe that the combination of community and aging trends, research and development of rehabilitation and health medical devices should be a general direction.

Promote the medical device industry independent development, the have specific industrial policy.

Chen Chu said, medical device technology achievement requires at least three transformation phase, there is no input or output in baked goods, this requires departments to policy-based finance, and other ways to contribute to help promising enterprises to go through the whole process. Fudan University, academician, zuxiang government procurement guidance on the promotion of local medical device industry development is important, as the new health reform programme, to replace imported products in the domestic medical insurance coverage, to foster the industry enterprises have a role.
