Artificial Ligament Continuation Collection Welcomes Key Variables


In 2023, artificial ligaments were included in the national procurement for the first time.Only Two Participants, Overall Decline Approximately 32%, which is considered mild in the high-value consumables centralized procurement. This reflects the long-term highly concentrated market of artificial ligaments with high technical barriers. At that time, there were few approved products in China, and the clinical choice was very limited.


Now, the curtain on the next round of centralized procurement is about to rise, and the market landscape will reach a turning point for reshaping. Beijing Wanjie Medical Device Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Wanjie Medical") brings along its...WJ SUPERLIG®Wanjie Medical Artificial Ligament with CoatingOfficially Enter the Market.This product is not onlyThe First Product in China to Pass Through the Special Approval Procedure for Innovative Medical DevicesThe sports medicine artificial ligament product is even moreWorld's First Enhanced Coating Artificial Ligament

WJ SUPERLIG®Certification of Innovative Results for Wanjie Medical's Coated Artificial Ligament


Its strong entry has completely broken the dual-oligarch pattern in China's artificial ligament market and will also introduce a new technical dimension to the pricing mechanism for centralized procurement and the clinical value evaluation system.


World's First Coated Artificial Ligament, DifferentiatedTechnologyBreakthrough


In clinical practice, traditional artificial ligaments have long faced industry pain points such as susceptibility to wear, weak fixation strength, and poor tissue compatibility.WJ SUPERLIG®Wanjie Medical Artificial Ligament CoatingSurface Modification, Mineralization Coating, Hydrophilic CoatingThree Core Technologies for More Durable and Long-Term Stable Ligament Repair Solutions for Patients with Sports Injuries.

Exclusive Surface Modification Technology, Enhancing Mechanical Properties




The product adopts a high-toughness polyester fiber (PET) body, combined withExclusive Surface Modification Technology, significantly enhancing anti-fatigue performance and mechanical stability, meeting the demands of high-intensity exercise with long-term stable performance.


Mineralized Coating Layer, Dual Enhancement in Fixation Strength and Osseointegration




After traditional PET ligaments are inserted into bone tunnels, they initially rely solely on mechanical compression for fixation, with slow bone integration and a tendency to loosen post-surgery. The product's mineralized coating significantly enhances the contact force between the ligament and the bone screw.Fixed strength increased by 150%, effectively reducing the risk of postoperative loosening. Meanwhile, the coating continuously releases calcium and phosphate ions, activating osteoblast activity and accelerating bone ingrowth.Promote Osseointegration


Hydrophilic Coating: Reduces Debris, Promotes Tissue Regeneration




Debris particles generated by long-term reciprocating friction of fibers within the joint cavity are an important inducement of late complications after artificial ligament surgery. WJ SUPERLIG®Wanjie Medical's coated artificial ligament constructs a stable hydrophilic microenvironment on the fiber surface, which not only effectivelyReduce the dynamic friction coefficient between fibers and minimize shedding., moreCell Adhesion and ProliferationCreated favorable conditions. Clinical data shows that patients using this product have significantly improved tendon coverage rates, and the risk of rejection reactions has been further reduced.


Compared with autologous ligament transplantation, WJ SUPERLIG®Artificial ligaments demonstrate significant advantages in terms of surgical methods, operation time, and postoperative recovery. They are especially suitable for young athletes, patients who urgently need to restore motor function, and patient groups undergoing revision surgery with no available graft materials.


Currently,WJ SUPERLIG®Wanjie Medical Artificial Ligament with CoatingIt has been serving clinical needs in several top-tier tertiary hospitals. The first batch of indications includes high-difficulty surgeries such as anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and knee collateral ligament reconstruction. In the future, the product will gradually expand to repair areas such as acromioclavicular ligaments and foot and ankle ligaments, benefiting more patients.


New Signal of Centralized Procurement:

Coating Technology Initiates Revaluation of Artificial Ligaments


The breakthrough in coating technology has not only achieved a clinical diagnosis and treatment revolution in the field of artificial ligaments but also opened up a new technical evaluation dimension for centralized procurement pricing rules and the clinical value assessment system.


At the beginning of 2026, the National Healthcare Security Administration released the "Medical Insurance Classification and Codes and General Medical Insurance Names for Bone, Cartilage, and Soft Tissue Implantable Medical Consumables," systematically optimizing and adjusting the classification of orthopedic consumables. Under this framework,Artificial ligaments are clearly distinguished by the features of "non-metallic coating" and "no coating.", releasing a clear policy signal:China's national medical insurance authorities recognize that there are substantial differences in technical characteristics and clinical value between coated and non-coated artificial ligaments.

AndDistinguish "Non-Metal Coating/No Coating" in Medical Insurance CodingThis may lay an important groundwork for the grouping logic of subsequent centralized procurement.


Can the Success of Coated Balloons Be Replicated in the Field of Artificial Ligaments?




In the field of coronary intervention, drug-coated balloons (DCB) have set a precedent. DCBs have obtained independent medical insurance codes and qualified for grouped bidding, with selected prices ranging from 5,000 to 6,000 yuan, while ordinary balloons cost only a few hundred yuan.If the procurement of artificial ligaments follows this model, coated products are expected to gain independent bidding units or a price comparison coefficient bonus.


And this signal release will have multi-dimensional strategic significance for dealers:


First, the profit is predictable.The First Round of Sports Medicine Centralized Procurement Achieved an Average Price Reduction of 74%, with Anchor Pegs Decreasing by 75%-90%, but Artificial Ligaments Only Dropped by 32%. Under Independent Bidding Protection, the Price System for Coated Products is Expected to Remain Within a Reasonable Range.Secondly, seize the first-mover window period.Wanjie Medical is currently the only coated artificial ligament enterprise to have passed innovative approval, taking the lead in establishing a first-mover advantage.Finally, the certainty of the track direction.Policy-driven price gap incentives will guide the industry from price competition to technology competition, with a focus on the coating sector, anchoring the industry's clear path toward upgrading.


This adjustment of the medical insurance codes, although the detailed rules for centralized procurement grouping have not yet been implemented, has already left ample room for imagination regarding the future direction of the rules for artificial ligament centralized procurement.


Sports Medicine Blue Ocean Racing:

Market Expansion and Policy Boost Spawn New Gold-Mining Opportunities


When selecting products, dealers should not only look at the profit of individual items but also consider the market capacity and growth trends.Sports medicine is currently one of the tracks with guaranteed growth in China's medical device market.


In terms of market volume, the popularization of national sports and the high incidence of sports injuries have driven the continuous expansion of demand. In particular, the large patient population with ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries has a rigid clinical demand. According to Boyan Consulting data,In 2024, the market size of artificial ligaments in China reached 1.87 billion yuan, increasing by 14.6% year-on-year.


After the implementation of centralized procurement, the price of artificial ligaments has significantly dropped, leading to a notable increase in industry penetration. Meanwhile, the volume of arthroscopic surgeries in China maintains steady growth, and sports medicine surgeries continue to expand from tertiary hospitals to secondary hospitals, further broadening the clinical application scenarios for artificial ligaments.In an incremental market landscape, technology-leading enterprises are more likely to capture market share and achieve high-quality growth by leveraging product barriers and clinical advantages.
