From technology leadership to industry leadership
Wuhan Biying Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a new professional enterprise integrating technology research and development, product production, sales and service. The company's breakthroughs in automation technology and materials science apply 3D printing technology to the field of orthopedic external fixation to achieve the commercial application of 3D instant printing systems and data cloud service platforms that meet the requirements of clinical operating specifications.
Chairman Liu Peng introduced that the origin of entrepreneurship is not the pursuit of scientific research, but the satisfaction of practical applications. During a visit to Tongji, Xiehe and other hospitals, Liu Peng discovered the market demand for orthopedic external fixation technology. Hospitals need new automated printing solutions.
In order to achieve fast and easy-to-use printing, Liu Peng chose to cooperate with Wuhan University of Technology, set up his own team, and began the road of research and development. This team of more than 30 people spent nearly three years and invested nearly 16 million yuan before and after it finally completed this task that most people think is impossible to complete-creating 3D instant printing that meets the requirements of clinical operating standards system.
The process of starting a business must not be smooth. Liu Peng recalled that the market environment at that time had automated printing technology machines and equipment, but there were several major difficulties that failed to break through.
First of all, what is in front of them is how to break through technical difficulties and achieve fast printing. In 2009, 3D printing technology took about 7.5 hours to print at a time. Taking more than 120 people in a hospital to print a day as an example, printing for more than 7 hours alone cannot meet the needs of the hospital, and the hospital must print it in 40 minutes. Secondly, we must consider how to be easy to operate. The establishment of a 3D printing system requires extremely professional data modeling procedures and professional requirements for operators, which has also caused difficulties in promotion at the beginning of entrepreneurship. Finally, finding lightweight, breathable 3D printed materials is also a big challenge. To find materials that are more suitable for printing and fully meet medical needs, Liu Peng and his team used the simplest and most effective method, which is to try !
The squatter leak happens to be rainy night, Liu Peng personally invested 21 million yuan in this project, but the break of the capital chain is still unavoidable. Finally through the introduction of shareholders and mature technology to survive this difficult day.
Three years of research and development, 1095 days and nights, and repeated experiments ... These made Liu Peng understand that the ultimate thing for entrepreneurship is patience and persistence. As an entrepreneur, he studied management, but he started with a team and established the direction of research and development. The only belief is that the project must be continued. He has adhered to this belief for four years.
In 2018, Liu Peng led his team to take root in Wuhan Optics Valley Biocity. In his opinion, Biocity not only meets the greater development space of enterprises, but also brings talents to the development of enterprises in terms of talent drainage and industry registration. Sexual help. He firmly believes that the development of a group can show its true power.
Biying Biosciences has continued to perform well with Hubei Provincial People's Hospital, Wuhan University Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan Third Hospital, Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, Wuhan Fourth People's Hospital, Wuhan Huanghua District People's Hospital Cooperation to establish a 3D printing center in the hospital.
Not only that, Biying Biotech also reached agreements with customers in 13 provinces including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Sichuan, Hong Kong, etc. It is expected to enter more than 1,000 hospitals within three years, sell 2400 units of equipment, and print about 4,000 tons of printing materials.
3D Instant Print Orthopedic Surgery Less Detours
In the past, doctors would use plaster to fix relevant parts of patients with trauma and fractures, and they would also wear heavy bandages. Now, patients will be able to use lighter, thinner, and body-fitting personalized fixing braces. Biying 3D timely printing system has been widely used in orthopedic clinics.
Ms. Liu, a 58-year-old who attended the Wuhan No. 4 Hospital, introduced that she accidentally slipped while cleaning at home, causing her right arm and left ankle fractures. After communication, the doctor decided to use 3D printing technology to customize a fixed brace for him.
The doctor used special equipment to perform 3D scanning on the injured right hand arm and left ankle of the patient. While scanning, the computer modeled by reading the data, and the stent model was automatically established according to the modeling. Finally, the stent was printed out with a 3D printer.
It takes about 30 minutes from scanning the affected limb to printing out the hand brace, which is almost the same as the time for doctors to fix plaster with bare hands. Huang Ruokun, the deputy chief physician of the ankle surgery at the hospital, said that it is relatively easy to wear a 3D printed brace, and the brace can be fixed with elastic adhesive. In the later stage, according to the degree of swelling or atrophy of the limb at the fracture, the doctor can also adjust the elasticity of the external fixation brace through elastic viscose. The multiple small holes on the surface can avoid the postoperative wound, which is convenient for the doctor to observe the skin changes and judge the recovery.
It is understood that fixing with plaster often fails to completely fit the injured area, which affects the recovery effect, and is heavy and inconvenient, and the skin is also prone to itching and allergies. Compared with gypsum braces, braces printed with corn starch weigh only one sixth, and the price is 10% -20% higher than gypsum braces. The hollow design on the brace can make the skin more breathable, and patients can also take a brace to take a bath. 3D printing technology can meet the needs of different groups of people, and customize the appearance and color.
3D printing technology will make orthopedic surgery less detours, reduce the probability of errors, facilitate the majority of patients, and provide safe and personalized precision medical services.
Big data platform precision medical civilians can be expected in the future
Facing the worldwide problem of medical big data collection. The latest bone guest app developed by Biying Bio has been officially launched. This is a cloud platform database system, which is also the only orthopedic surgery communication platform in China.
The platform will focus on 200,000 professional doctor resources, which can solve the problem without leaving the house, which is convenient for patients and reduces the workload of doctors at the scene; there are 40 million bone injury patients in the country. Medical care provides strong support, and the exchange between doctors, patients and doctors will further promote the development of orthopedic surgery in China.
According to Liu Peng, after the launch of the Bone App, it is expected that the daily living volume will reach 500,000, and the annual data volume will be no less than 40 million yuan. In the next 5-10 years, orthopedics will still be the main field of Biying Bio. Under the guidance of the policy, Biying Biotechnology will move towards the field of rehabilitation and health, and provide world-leading quality services to more hospitals and patients.
Now Biying Biotechnology has cooperated with a number of large domestic hospitals, and the market prospect is very good. He firmly believes that with the support of the market, the problems of capital and talent will be solved.
