Sumai Medical Technology

What Sumai Medical Technology does

Sumai Medical Technology (Beijing Sumai Medical Technology Co., Ltd. / 北京速迈医疗科技有限公司) is a privately held Chinese medical-device company founded in July 2007 as a spin-off of Tsinghua University's Ultrasonic Medical Instrument Research Center, which had been executing the national 'Ninth Five-Year' key research project on ultrasonic surgical instruments since 1996. Headquartered in Tsinghua University Science Park (Haidian District, Beijing), the company designs, manufactures, and sells high-energy ultrasonic surgical medical equipment built on proprietary IP that originated in the university's research center. Its core offering is the USI-series modular ultrasonic surgical platform, which consolidates interchangeable functional modules — ultrasonic bone scalpel, ultrasonic drill, ultrasonic aspirator (USI1003), ultrasonic hemostatic scalpel (UCHP series), and ultrasonic debridement blade (USI1001) — on a single console to serve orthopedic, neurosurgery, oncology surgery, hepatobiliary, ENT/maxillofacial, and wound/burn departments.

The company's products address a defined clinical problem set: traditional bone chisels and hammers deliver imprecise cuts and risk damage to surrounding soft tissue, vessels, and nerves, while tumor resection and complex wound debridement require precise tissue selectivity. Sumai's ultrasonic bone scalpel uses 40kHz longitudinal oscillation to cut bone without damaging soft tissue; the aspirator emulsifies and removes diseased tissue under negative pressure while protecting vessels and nerves; the hemostatic scalpel achieves simultaneous cutting and coagulation via protein hydrogen-bond denaturation; and the debridement blade uses cavitation, emulsification, and hemostatic effects for wound cleaning. The company sells five categories and eight types of equipment, holds authorized invention patents and software copyrights, and has been recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise.

Sumai monetizes via one-time hardware sales of the modular USI console and individual module systems, recurring revenue from single-use blades and reusable heads/handles, and tailored system-solution customization for specific clinical requirements. Pricing follows unit pricing on hardware and pay-as-you-go on consumables, with multi-year contracts for system configurations. GTM combines a direct sales force recruiting regional sales managers across provincial capitals with a nationwide channel/distributor recruitment program; products are deployed in 100+ hospitals across 30+ Chinese provinces, anchored by marquee tertiary accounts such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, PLA General Hospital, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, West China Hospital, and Second Xiangya Hospital. Marketing relies on industry exhibitions (COA, China International SME Fair, International Medical Instruments Expo), CCTV-1 coverage, and '医工结合' medical-engineering clinical collaboration with over 100 physicians, with cumulative clinical experience exceeding 100,000 surgical procedures.

Core offering

Sumai Medical Technology researches, develops, manufactures, and sells high-energy ultrasonic surgical equipment, including a modular USI Series surgical platform that integrates ultrasonic bone scalpels, ultrasonic drills, ultrasonic aspirators, ultrasonic debridement blades, and ultrasonic hemostatic scalpels. The company also supplies related consumables such as disposable blades and reusable blade heads/handles, and provides customized system solutions tailored to individual hospital clinical requirements.

Product overview

Sumai Medical Technology (北京速迈医疗科技有限公司) offers a modular ultrasonic surgical system (USI Series) that serves as an integrated surgical platform. The system combines multiple functional modules: Ultrasonic Bone Scalpel for bone cutting/grinding, Ultrasonic Aspirator for tumor and tissue removal, Ultrasonic Debridement Blade for wound treatment, Ultrasonic Hemostatic Scalpel for soft tissue coagulation, and Ultrasonic Drill. These modules can be swapped within the same platform, enabling multi-functional use across departments including orthopedics, neurosurgery, hepatobiliary surgery, and more.

Products and services

• Ultrasonic Surgical System (USI Series) A modular integrated ultrasonic surgical platform that combines multiple functional modules — ultrasonic bone scalpel, ultrasonic drill, ultrasonic aspirator, ultrasonic debridement blade, and ultrasonic hemostatic scalpel — into one system for multi-departmental hospital use. Enables one machine to serve orthopedic, spinal surgery, neurosurgery, oncology surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, and burn/wound care procedures through swappable modules.
• Ultrasonic Bone Scalpel Converts electrical energy into mechanical energy with the blade vibrating at approximately 40,000 Hz high-frequency longitudinal oscillation for precise cutting and grinding of bone tissue. Features unique tissue selectivity that cuts bone without damaging or entangling surrounding soft tissue, used in spinal surgery laminectomy, orthopedic deformity correction, bone tumor resection, joint, and extremity procedures.
• Ultrasonic Aspirator (USI1003) Uses high-energy ultrasonic oscillation to pulverize tissue, emulsifies with irrigation fluid, and removes diseased tissue (such as tumors) through negative pressure aspiration. Designed to protect blood vessels and nerves while removing tumor tissue, shorten operative time, and lower postoperative recurrence. Used for bone tumors, meningiomas, and other precision tumor resection procedures.
• Ultrasonic Debridement Blade (USI1001) Utilizes ultrasonic cavitation, emulsification, and hemostatic effects to debride complex wounds. Enables efficient debridement while reducing damage to normal tissues, suitable for trauma, burn, and purulent wound cleaning, and alleviating patient discomfort during debridement.
• Ultrasonic Hemostatic Scalpel (UCHP Series) Converts electrical energy into mechanical energy through a transducer, causing protein hydrogen bonds in tissue to break and tissue to coagulate and cut under clamp pressure, achieving a combined cutting-and-coagulation effect with minimal thermal spread and reduced smoke and charring. Used in soft tissue surgical procedures requiring simultaneous cutting and hemostasis.
• Ultrasonic Surgical Consumables and Accessories Provides disposable surgical blades and reusable blade heads and handles as consumables supporting the company's ultrasonic surgical systems, addressing ongoing clinical surgical demand and reducing per-procedure cost through reusable components.
