The board of directors of the Shanghai Microport Medbot (Group) Co., Ltd. announced that the Toumai laparoscopic surgical robot solely developed by the Group has obtained a registration certificate for launching by the National Medical Products Administration of China, and has become the first and the only four-arm laparoscopic surgical robot developed by a domestic corporation and approved for launching as of the date of this announcement. Toumai, a core product of the Company, is a laparoscopic surgical robot designed and developed by the Group for a wide range of surgical procedures, which enables complex surgeries to adopt a minimally invasive approach. The agility of robotic arms allows greater precision in operations, enhances the safety of surgery and reduces surgeon fatigue.

Seated comfortably at the console, a surgeon views an immersive 3DHD image of the surgical field and manipulates the surgical instruments inside the patient's body by controlling the robotic arms. Toumai provides surgeons with a range of motions analogous to those of human wrists, while filtering out the tremors inherent in human hands.
