Rebirth started in 2004

Chapter 553 Localization of Medical Equipment

Chen Chen of Daai Medical has been engaged in the research and development of artificial hearts for 30 years. In 2011, he developed my country's first magnetic levitation heart.

The magnetic levitation heart is the third generation of artificial heart, so it goes without saying that it is advanced.

After the achievements of Daai Medical, Hengtong Investment increased its investment to support the R&D team to carry out R&D work with peace of mind.

After the establishment of Hengtong Hospital, Daai Medical began to cooperate with Hengtong Hospital in clinical trials.

Hengtong Hospital conducts quite a few clinical trials every year, so naturally it not only cooperates with Daai Medical, but also cooperates with many medical companies.

For some patients, the risk of participating in clinical medical trials must be quite high.

But there is no hope, so I will die as a living horse doctor.

A large number of clinical medical trials have also allowed Hengtong Hospital to make rapid progress in medical technology.

The most important reason is that Hengtong Hospital has a strong ability to make money. The money will not be handed over to Hengtong Group, but will be used for medical research.

Even Hengtong Hospital not only sees medical laboratories by itself, but also invests in some medical research and development enterprises.

Chen Wei smiled and shook hands with everyone: "I don't know much about maglev artificial hearts, please introduce them to me."

Chen Wei never denied his ignorance!
There is too much knowledge in this world, and the knowledge that a poor person can master in his entire life is very little.

A drop in the bucket is exaggerated.

So admitting your ignorance is not a shameful thing.

On the contrary, those people who think they know everything about heaven and earth, tsk tsk, stay away from such people.

"The full magnetic levitation artificial heart is the third-generation artificial heart, with a diameter of 50 mm, a thickness of 26 mm, and a weight of less than 180 grams. We have developed a full magnetic levitation artificial heart, which is the most advanced in the world. Our artificial heart The heart is also all made in China.”

In order to achieve national production, it took a lot of effort.

Just for the control chip in the full magnetic levitation artificial heart, imported chips from abroad were originally used, but after Daai Medical took out the prototype, the foreign company actually started to block Daai Medical.

The reason is simple, and there are studies in this area abroad.

If Huaguo's products came out first, wouldn't it be a disaster for them.

"Now we have conducted hundreds of clinical trials, and the performance of the patients is very good, and they are even able to do physical exercise."

Globally, the most famous person to install an artificial heart should be former Manchester United coach Ferguson.

I heard that his family was very worried that he would be excited as the head coach, so he stopped the artificial heart directly.

In fact, during the research and development, the problem of artificial heart shutdown was taken into consideration.

Before being installed on the human body, countless experiments have been done to ensure the safety of the artificial heart.

Anyway, a person with an artificial heart cannot do strenuous exercise, such as sports, of course it is not allowed.

Because of these activities, the heart will accelerate blood supply.

For the previous two generations of artificial hearts, there was no solution.

The third-generation full magnetic levitation artificial heart has solved this problem.

"That is, can you live like a normal person?"

"Yes!"

Chen Wei is thinking about a question, whether in the future, human beings can realize that, except for the brain, all other body parts can be replaced by artificial organs.

The scenes in science fiction movies seem to be becoming reality little by little.

Even the brain was discarded...

Well, first of all, one thing must be determined, how does a person produce self-existence!
That is "soul".

It is too far to think about these.

"It seems that the official listing is not far away!"

"It is estimated that it will take two or three years if it is fast, and four or five years if it is slow."

There are good things but they cannot be listed, and if they are not listed, they cannot be given to those who need them.

Don't worry, there are humanitarian aid technologies.

The ultimate goal of the development of medicine is to make human life longer.

Some patients have to rely on an artificial heart to continue their life, so they can apply for it.

In Hengtong hospitals across the country, operations such as heart transplants can basically be performed.

In addition to looking at the artificial heart, Chen Wei also cares about another thing, ECMO.

ECMO extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, commonly known as artificial lung, is essentially an artificial heart-lung machine.

Chen Wei naturally knows how important ECMO is.

He has no way to prevent some things from happening, but he can make sufficient preparations to deal with something happening.

Over the years, Chen Wei has also thought clearly that as long as the technology is strong enough, he can meet any challenge.

The localization of medical equipment is what Hengtong Hospital has been doing.

Compared with other hospitals that prefer to purchase foreign medical equipment, when purchasing medical equipment, Hengtong Hospital will give priority to purchasing domestic medical equipment for similar products as long as domestic medical equipment can meet the demand.

Now domestic medical equipment is not a decade ago, lagging far behind foreign countries in technology.

Many domestic medical equipment are not bad in terms of various technical indicators.Compared with foreign medical equipment, it even exceeds.

However, some hospitals still prefer to purchase foreign ones rather than domestic ones.

The reasons for this are worth pondering.

For the localization of ECMO, one technology is particularly important: the oxygenated membrane polymethylpentene membrane, also known as PMP membrane.

The PMP film was developed by the Materials Research Institute under the Xingkong Research Institute, and industrialized production has been realized.

"The clinical trials of domestic ECMO have almost been completed, and the next step is to officially apply for listing. After listing, our domestic emergency level will be greatly improved. More hospitals will be able to carry out ECMO support medical services."

Now ECMO costs 2000 yuan to start up for the first time, and the daily use cost is about 10 yuan. Basically, an artificial lung can be used for three weeks, costing [-] yuan.

After the domestic ECMO goes on the market, the cost will drop sharply.

For patients, it will be able to save a considerable amount of treatment costs.

For many families, besides the house, the biggest expense of the family is medical care.

Once there is a patient in the family, and it is still a chronic disease, the burden on the family will be quite serious.

As an ordinary person, the greatest luck is that the family is safe and healthy, free from disease and disaster.

Chen Wei didn't say anything either. If he wanted to go public, he would naturally have to meet the national standards.

After looking at the research and development and clinical trials, Chen Wei went to see the daily medical services of Hengtong Hospital.

As a hospital, the most important thing is to see a doctor and save lives.

Everything is done around this purpose, and everything that violates or endangers the purpose must be resolutely stopped.
