R&D and Manufacturing of Surgical Medical Devices and Equipment
VCBeat has learned that Huarong Kingsung Medical Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. recently achieved a significant breakthrough in the medical technology sector. The company’s independently developed “biodegradable magnesium alloy bone screws” have officially entered clinical trials, with the successful enrollment of the first patient. The launch of this innovative product signals an impending transformation in the field of orthopedic medicine.
Clinical Potential, Expert Acclaim
The clinical trial launch meeting for biodegradable magnesium alloy bone fixation screws was held at Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital (now the National Orthopedic Clinical Trial Center), Beijing Tongren Hospital, and Peking University Third Hospital. At the meeting,Experts believe that this product not only meets the mechanical performance requirements for orthopedic internal fixation devices, but also promotes new bone cell generation and achieves complete degradation after fracture healing, demonstrating significant clinical application value.
The first enrolled patient was treated at Beijing Tongren Hospital with “𧿹Eversion surgery”, clinical diagnosis:𧿹Hallux valgus deformity and osteoarthritis of the metatarsophalangeal joint. During the surgery, biodegradable magnesium alloy screws were successfully used in three sites.
On the following day, a patient was enrolled who underwent “open reduction and plate internal fixation for left foot and left ankle fractures + left ankle ligament repair” at Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital, with biodegradable magnesium alloy screws used for fixation in one key area.
Preoperative imaging clearly visualized the device; intraoperatively, the patient experienced no significant discomfort. The screw implantation procedure was simple and rapid. Following implantation, the device gradually integrates naturally with surrounding tissues. The patient will undergo close follow-up for six weeks to comprehensively evaluate surgical outcomes and screw degradation.
Biodegradable Magnesium Alloys: Breaking Through Two Major Clinical Challenges
Compared with polymer-based biodegradable implant materials such as polylactic acid, which are widely used in clinical practice, biodegradable magnesium alloy materialsIt demonstrates exceptional superiority across multiple dimensions, including degradability, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility.It cleverlyIt addresses two long-standing challenges faced by traditional implants: the need for secondary surgical removal and the stress shielding effect.Not only does it significantly reduce the financial and time costs for patients, but it also markedly lowers the risks associated with surgery and anesthesia, delivering an unprecedentedly efficient and safe treatment experience.Biodegradable Magnesium Alloys Are Hailed as the “Ideal Medical Fixation Material”
Kingsung Medical, leveraging its exceptional R&D capabilities, has successfully launched the epoch-making “Biodegradable Magnesium Alloy Bone Screw.” The emergence of this innovative product,It not only closely aligns with the far-reaching strategic plans of the National 863 Program in the field of new material technologies, but also has set off a revolutionary wave in the field of biomedical materials.It symbolizes a major breakthrough in biodegradable material technology, heralding the broad prospects and limitless possibilities for the medical application of such materials. It also holds profound significance for advancing medical technology and enhancing patient well-being.
Degradable Magnesium Alloy Screws Demonstrate Significant Advantages and Clinical Value Compared to Traditional Material Screws:
● Fully biodegradable, eliminating the need for a second surgery to remove it;
● The ingredients are safe and non-toxic, promoting bone growth;
● Avoids the stress shielding effect, facilitating bone tissue healing;
● The degradation curve is initially slow and then accelerates, aligning with the human bone growth cycle;
● Visible on imaging, with no artifact interference
“Biodegradable Magnesium Alloy Bone Screws” feature a globally exclusive formulation, with a cumulative total of 11 domestic and international invention patents filed and 22 patents granted.
This revolutionary screw product will be officially launched on the market. We firmly believe that this innovative achievement will lead a new trend in the field of orthopedic treatment, bringing patients a safer and more effective therapeutic experience, and writing a new chapter in the development of medical technology.
