AINNOVI

Developer of Microscopic External Vision Surgical Systems


Recently, AINNOVI announced the completion of a multi-million yuan A+ round of financing. This round of financing was exclusively invested by Hotang Venture Capital.

The funds from this round of financing will be mainly used for the domestic and overseas registration applications and market promotion of the full range of surgical and ophthalmic surgical microscopes.


AINNOVI was founded inIn 2020,The founding team started with cutting-edge research led by an academician from Tsinghua University., laying a solid foundation in the field of stereoscopic vision,Collaborated with the team from the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army to complete a major instrumentation development project funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, accumulating multiple core achievements in the field of computational microscopy imaging and implementing their transformation.The company focuses on the research and development of innovative technologies for visual imaging, intelligent perception, and auxiliary decision-making in microscopic surgical scenarios. It aims to build a product portfolio of next-generation digital surgical microscopes and intelligent clinical solutions, aspiring to become an industry leader and global provider that empowers the development of refined surgical practices.

As a key device for refined surgical operations, the surgical microscope has a wide range of clinical applications, covering neurosurgery, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, spinal surgery, plastic surgery, and more. Globally, the industry is undergoing a transition from traditional optical surgical microscopes toThe deep transformation of the "optics + digital + intelligence" integrated platform represents a potential billion-dollar market. In the past, surgeons had to operate by looking down through an eyepiece with a limited field of view, which not only restricted working distance and depth of field but also caused musculoskeletal strain due to prolonged fixed neck and shoulder postures. Today, the integration of micro-external visualization systems with real-time stereoscopic imaging, long working-distance zoom optics, and multi-axis free-positioning supports allows surgeons to perform precise operations on an ultra-high-definition large screen with a broader and deeper surgical field of view. It also supports intraoperative image overlay and navigation fusion, significantly improving the safety and efficiency of minimally invasive precision procedures and advancing the rapid development of functional preservation and accurate restoration in surgery.

AINNOVI with its own brandAINNOVI®: Rapidly Launching 3 Categories and 6 Models of High-End Microscopic Imaging and Intelligent Products, Leading the Mid-to-High-End Surgical Microscope Industry in China. The advanced 3D external microscopic upgrade product has obtained the Class II Innovative Medical Device Registration Certificate in China.It compensates for the shortcomings of traditional optical surgical microscopes in microscopic external visualization, while also addressing the upgrade needs of existing traditional optical surgical microscopes in medical institutions.Not only has it formed commercial partnerships with leading microscope brands, completed installations in over a hundred hospitals in China, but also achieved overseas (European) sales after obtaining the CE certificate.

This YearIn February, AINNOVI's domestically produced surgical microscope, targeting the mid-to-high-end surgical microscopy market, obtained its registration certificate. The product’s "opto-electro-mechanical-computational" technology chain loop has been fully independently developed.This not only demonstrates the team's advanced manufacturing and assembly capabilities in optics and mechanical control but also highlights the technical advantages in the stereoscopic vision technology chain. The independently developed large working distance optical system, flexible electromagnetic lock control system, and ultra-low latency microscopic external viewing system enable the product to rival high-end new products of traditional surgical microscopes.

As AINNOVI's advanced microscopy imaging upgrade products, ophthalmic surgical microscope products, and intelligent microscopy products gradually obtain registration certificates and enter the market, AINNOVI will inject new vitality into the global surgical microscope market. With an entirely new approach to microscopic external visualization, AINNOVI will accelerate the digital and intelligent development trends of the surgical microscope industry, ushering in a new era of intelligent microscopic external visualization. This advancement will support clinical surgeries in neurosurgery, otolaryngology, and spinal surgery, moving towards more refined and precise directions.
