The old man watched Dr. He catch the capsule gastroscope and throw it into the cleaning bucket. The whole movement was as smooth and freehand as a flowing cloud.
Everyone was shocked immediately, and he couldn't hold back a word for a while.
"Awesome!"
"Okay, the inspection is over. Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Dr. He chuckled and asked casually.
Some enzymatic disinfectant had been poured into the cleaning bucket. He rubbed the mucus off the outer shell, took off his gloves and ignored it.
These enzymatic disinfectants can dissolve the protein solids attached to the shell and kill bacteria. They can be reused as long as they are left for a while, then taken out and replaced with a clean capsule shell.
It is very simple and convenient. Unlike the previous electronic gastroscope, it was very troublesome to clean it every time.
The gastroscopy tube is a precision optical and mechanical instrument that can be used repeatedly and is not a disposable consumable. After each gastroscopy, it must be placed in the cleaning tank and vigorously scrubbed for comprehensive cleaning and disinfection, and then dried before putting it back in It takes at least nearly an hour to complete the special sterile container.
Capsule gastroscopy is much more convenient. You can put it in, take it out, and replace it with a new shell. The whole process can be completed in less than five minutes.
After experiencing it, Dr. He couldn't help but fall in love with this relaxing and comfortable feeling.
At this time, the old man had recovered from the shock and smiled happily.
"Haha, doctor, this experience is particularly good. There is no discomfort at all, no nausea, vomiting, or anything like that. It's very comfortable."
He finished this sentence in one breath, turned back to his son and said: "You should have told me earlier. You know that technology is so advanced now that you don't even feel anything during a gastroscopy. I have come to do it a long time ago, and you don't need to rush me every day."
My son was also shocked by the capsule gastroscopy that flew out of his mouth. He opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
The old man patted his thigh fiercely and expressed his joy: "Next time my stomach feels uncomfortable, I will do something like this again."
Dr. He smiled slightly and said: "Uncle, your stomach mucosa is severely red and swollen with multiple erosions. It may be chronic gastritis. Failure to treat it in time may have caused gastric ulcers. The specific cause will depend on the biopsy results. You should go back first. Come back after the results are available in three to five working days.”
The old man's face suddenly fell, and he asked anxiously: "Is it serious? There won't be anything serious."
Dr. He comforted him: "It's hard to say the cause of the disease. No matter what the cause is, you can take the right medicine. After you go back, pay attention to your diet, eat lighter, drink less, and don't eat irritating food."
The old man nodded and left with his son happily.
The first thing he thought of was that he had a free gastroscopy today and enjoyed such a big technological scene. He had to go back and brag about it, and get a wave of envious and jealous looks.
Dr. He also immediately put on a new pair of gloves, took out the capsule gastroscope that had been soaked in enzymatic disinfectant for several minutes, pinched the upper and lower parts, rotated it counterclockwise several times, and finally removed the outer shell. .
He touched the shell, which was as thin as a cicada's wing and as flexible as silk, feeling its toughness and softness, and was immediately amazed.
"The material feels a bit cool. It doesn't deform no matter how you rub it. It's also waterproof and anti-corrosion. I don't know if the cost is high."
Another doctor shook his head and said: "Since it is a disposable shell, the cost is definitely not high, but even if it is higher, it is cheaper than a disposable capsule gastroscope."
"Sanqing's idea is very good. It is worthy of being a Huaxia company. Reuse is the key."
"Speaking of which, those manufacturers of capsule gastroscopy have lost their minds. How can they make something that costs thousands of dollars and make it disposable? Isn't this a waste? It is also not environmentally friendly. You want to change the shell like Sanqing? Isn’t it possible? The things inside can be reused, how great is that, and how much money can be saved.”
One doctor couldn't help but complain.
"That's right, isn't a few thousand dollars money? It makes me sad just thinking about wasting so much money just for gastritis."
"Oh, patients want both experience and affordability, so expensive and wasteful products are doomed to have no future. Sanqing's thinking is better and is the way to make products."
Peng Hai also nodded frequently, thinking that Sanqing's solution was very good and coincided with his own. It can be said that heroes have the same ideas.
I just don’t know how Sanqing stuffed so many precision components into a small capsule.
Unfortunately, it’s a competing product, so I can only take a look at it, and I won’t let myself take it apart.
It would be great if you have your own company's products, so you can start researching them.
Own company? He suddenly remembered, as if waking up from a dream, that one of his tasks was to provide door-to-door service and inspect the equipment of his friends.
After looking at such a powerful gastroscope for a long time, I must report it to the company in detail.
Thinking of this, he quickly looked at Dr. He and saw that the doctor had already taken out a transparent plastic box from a groove in the stomach of the capsule gastroscope with a pair of forceps.
"Okay, I have taken out the tissue site for biopsy and will send it directly for testing in a moment."
The plastic box in Dr. He's hand is about 3 mm in size, very mini. It contains the gastric erosion tissue removed by the clamps.
"This design and workmanship are so ingenious!" Peng Hai couldn't help but admire it again, greatly admiring Sanqing's design level.
He couldn't help but want to submit his resume to Sanqing.
The other two doctors were obviously very knowledgeable and they all praised it.
"This capsule gastroscope, except that it cannot perform surgery and remove polyps and cysts, basically has all other functions."
“It is enough to be able to transmit high-definition images, check gastrointestinal conditions without feeling, and perform biopsies.”
"If I had to choose, no matter from the perspective of a doctor or a patient, as long as it is not surgery, I would choose capsule gastroscopy."
"I just don't know what the price is. It's a trial machine now, and it's free for free. When it's actually launched, it will probably cost more than a million."
"Look, the current cost of an ordinary electronic gastroscopy is about 200-400 yuan, and the cost of a painless gastroscopy is about 500-700 yuan. The extra cost is the cost of intravenous anesthesia. If Sanqing's capsule gastroscopy can cost about 1,000 yuan, , I believe many people will choose it.”
"Yes, with capsule gastroscopy, many people will no longer want to undergo anesthesia for painless gastroscopy."
"Gastroscopy actually tests the doctor's experience. If it is not done well, it can easily lead to mucosal damage. Severe colonoscopy can even lead to intestinal perforation. It is better to do less. There is no way to do it with surgery. It is excusable. , but a gastric examination is completely unnecessary.”
Doctors are talking a lot and are very optimistic about Sanqing's capsule gastroscopy.
They all know the shortcomings of the current electronic gastroscopy. Ordinary gastroscopy is too painful to perform and makes patients really uncomfortable, so they invented the painless gastroscopy.
But this is just adding general anesthesia, making the patient lose consciousness and thus unable to feel the pain. It can only be said to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. It also adds hundreds of dollars in vain, making the already poor family even worse.
Now with Sanqing’s capsule gastroscopy, patients have an additional choice to enjoy a truly painless or even sensationless gastroscopy at an affordable price.
****
Not long after Peng Hai returned, he handed in a eloquent work report.
The report describes in detail the clinical use of Sanqing's new capsule gastroscope, indicating that Sanqing, the dominant player in the pharmaceutical industry, has launched a fierce offensive against flexible endoscopes.
So, it didn’t take long for everyone in the industry to know the news.
In this regard, most medical device companies expressed stable emotions because they have no related business.
Only a few companies such as Mindray and Kaili have expressed concerns, but the pressure is not great.
Because they mainly make mid-to-low-end products priced at hundreds of thousands, their market share is not high at first. The total domestic market share is probably about 5%.
The remaining 95% is monopolized by the top three of Sakura Country.
There is no way, Olympus's advantages are too great, which makes everyone daunted.
If Sanqing really wants to challenge this behemoth, domestic competitors will also be happy to hear about it.
The success of the Three Purities is also a success for the nation and the country.
The failure of the Sanqing Dynasty weakened competitors, which was also a good thing for them.
With this mentality, the entire industry ushered in the Medical Expo, which is known as the vane of the device industry.
Medical expos usually last three days, and tickets are free, but the booth fees for manufacturers are not cheap.
Exhibitors have already arranged their booths a few days in advance and are quietly waiting for the show to begin.
The exhibitors are basically professionals, and most of the tens of thousands of visitors come from hospitals, medical institutions, and agents from various places.
On the first day of the exhibition, Lu Tingfeng took Qi Liang, Wang Dali and others to the World Expo Exhibition Hall in Haishi.
The exhibition hall is divided into three floors, with dozens of areas. Each area has dozens or hundreds of companies. It would take a day to browse them all.
In the center of the exhibition hall, there are five huge booths.
These five booths are the focus areas of this medical expo.
All have been taken over by international giants, including Medtronic, GE, Philips, Siemens, and Olympus.
Not only was the booth huge, it was even slightly renovated to create a double-layered structure.
The ground floor is used for exhibitions, and the upper floor is a lounge, which is specially used for negotiation and resting with major clients. The stairs leading to the upper floor are guarded by security guards and ordinary people cannot enter.
Outside the focus area are the booths of major domestic manufacturers and other foreign companies, including Sanqing, Mindray, Kaili, etc.
At this time, each manufacturer's booth had its own flagship products on display for visitors to browse.
The huge poster told the company's history and glory hoarsely, and the flashing screen was full of colorful and unclear technical parameters.
Here, the MRI machine, the integrated operating room, and the surgical robot show the light of the strong.
Blood tests, color ultrasound, endoscopy, heart stents, and ultrasound surgery showed off the strong muscles.
Implants, anesthetics, complete dentures, orthopedic consumables, surgical equipment, low-key and luxurious industrial crystallization are gathered together.
The bustling crowd, as dense as a school of fish, shuttled between booths one after another.
This kind of place is a show for sellers and a stage for buyers, a hell for the poor and a paradise for big dogs.
But for Wang Dali, it is a rare holiday destination.
At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa in the corner of the booth, slowly drinking a cup of hot tea and cracking melon seeds from time to time. He looked relaxed and peaceful.
He turned a blind eye to the crowds and noise outside, as if he was not in a busy city but in a quiet valley.
Because he works as a technical expert, he only needs to answer some technical questions from customers and does not need to worry about other things at all.
Lu Tingfeng had already taken this opportunity to visit various customers. Qi Liang, who hosted the exhibition, wandered around when he had time, looking at the booths and latest products of friends, and ignored him at all.
The clients and leaders are not here, so I can only sit and rest, which is not a vacation.
A medical expo is not like an auto show. There are no waiters here to sell products, and they can't easily answer questions.
After all, many of the people who come to visit do not know the corresponding knowledge and are just here to join in the fun.
Manufacturers would not be so kind and send people specifically to popularize science among ordinary audiences.
The customers of medical devices are doctors in hospitals. Only they understand how high-end these devices are, where they are, and how to use them.
In order to allow real customers to feel the advanced nature of the equipment, some manufacturers have also set up special darkrooms, where a recommended equipment is placed, so that doctors can actually experience it.
Of course, this is for customers. Ordinary people can only admire the materials and equipment outside to see what's new.
In this way, most people watched it with gusto and it was an eye-opener, because these are the most high-end equipment on the market and are not easily seen in hospitals.
Not to mention, there were long queues at some of the booths where color ultrasound could be performed. Many people thought this was a good opportunity to get a color ultrasound examination for free, and rushed over to become free models and be trained by doctors to observe.
Sanqing also placed a 1 cubic meter open table in the most eye-catching place of the booth, with magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy equipment next to it.
There was a capsule gastroscope inside. The outer shell was painted with the words "Sanqing" in red, and it was floating quietly in the air.
Every fifteen minutes, the capsule will circle and dance in mid-air according to the established route, sometimes jumping out of an S shape, sometimes jumping out of an N shape, and occasionally jumping into a wavy line. All in all, it is quite eye-catching.
People kept stopping to watch, exclaiming in admiration, and then took photos with great excitement.
There was a salesperson standing next to him. He just smiled and didn't say much.
Only when a doctor or agent comes forward to ask, he will explain it enthusiastically and invite customers to try it.
As time goes by, more and more people participate in the exhibition.
Sanqing's booth was very close to the focus area, so more and more people came to see what was new.
Although these lively audiences don’t understand anything and can’t get started, they can watch the show.
Other equipment, even if a doctor is used to it, is too professional and cannot be seen on one side.
For example, in color ultrasound and endoscopy, most of what appears on the screen are indescribable images of flesh and blood.
I can't understand anything about blood flow, cysts, or tissue cross-sections.
How could this flying capsule be any fun?
The audience looked at the capsules flying in the air, as if they were watching a sideshow, and they cheered loudly.
"pretty!"
"Awesome!"
"It's so fun!"
Waves of sound continued to hit the surrounding booths, attracting the attention of more passers-by.
"What's going on there? Why is it so busy?"
"Hey, it's Sanqing's booth. Are they doing some renovations again?"
"Go and see, there's probably something good to do."
"Go together, go together."
The Chinese people’s love of watching the excitement is most vividly demonstrated here.
People came in droves to witness this technologically exciting feast.
