The board of directors of Shanghai MicroPort MedBot (Group) Co., Ltd. announced that the Toumai four-arm laparoscopic surgical robot which is solely developed by the Group, applying to laparoscopic surgeries in departments of urinary surgery, general surgery, gynecologic surgery and thoracic surgery, has obtained approval for launch from the National Medical Products Administration of China. 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 by adopting a minimally invasive approach. The agility of robotic arms allows greater precision in operations, enhances the safety of surgery and reduces surgeon fatigue.

Sitting comfortably at the console, a surgeon views an immersive 3D HD 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.
