The company develops and manufactures intelligent minimally invasive surgical solutions, with a core product portfolio centered on surgical staplers — endoscopic, smart, and open variants — and energy-based surgical devices, including ultrasonic scalpels. Adjacent product lines span hernia repair fixation devices, polymer clips, trocars, and the Panther Ultraseal sealing platform, with the Ultrasonic Surgical System (generator plus HP1 transducer) extending the company into energy-based cutting and coagulation. The company also markets and distributes third-party manufactured sutures, hernia meshes, and blood vessel titanium clips as part of integrated procedure solutions, and manufactures certain products for OEM customers.

Panther serves hospitals, surgical centers, and clinical professionals across multiple surgical specialties — gastrointestinal, gynecologic, thoracic, bariatric (sleeve gastrectomy), and hernia repair. The business model is hardware sales executed primarily through an international distributor network: products are exported to over 80 countries and regions, with dedicated distributor offices in Turkey, Mexico, India, Canada, and the United States, and additional sales offices in Brazil and Suzhou, China. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set via distributor contracts and institutional procurement. The company supplements commercial activity with the Panther Surgical Academy, which runs master classes, clinical immersions, and product trainings to build surgeon relationships and drive adoption.

Manufacturing is anchored by two plants in Changping totaling approximately 6,000 square meters, equipped with Class 10,000 cleanrooms (managed to Class 100,000), an ISO 11135-certified ethylene oxide sterilization center, and an in-house biological laboratory. Panther is a subsidiary of ITG Health Technology, controlled by Xiamen ITG Group Corp., Ltd. (Shanghai-listed, stock code 600755), part of the Fortune Global 500 Xiamen ITG Holding Group. The company is itself publicly listed on China's National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ) board under code 835879.
