Sejong Medical's main product lines include laparoscopic surgery systems and equipment, offering a diverse range of products such as Trocar, Single Port, Specimen Pouch, Suture Loop, Suction Irrigation, Smoke Filter, and BUMI. The Trocar, in particular, serves as a crucial channel for laparoscopic surgical instruments to enter and exit the body, maintaining abdominal pressure during surgery. The Single Port for single-incision surgery allows for flexible instrument use through a single incision, providing excellent flexibility and heat resistance suitable for robotic surgery environments. The Lap-iX suction and irrigation device is a laparoscopic surgical instrument that combines suction and irrigation functions with an electrode for incision and hemostasis. This new product boasts higher profitability compared to existing ones and has received special 510K approval from the US FDA, demonstrating its technological prowess. The company operates a 100% in-house production system to manufacture flawless laparoscopic medical devices, ensuring customer satisfaction through stringent quality control.SejongMedical'smainproductlinesincludelaparoscopicsurgerysystemsandequipment,offeringadiverserangeofproductssuchasTrocar,SinglePort,SpecimenPouch,SutureLoop,SuctionIrrigation,SmokeFilter,andBUMI.TheTrocar,inparticular,servesasacrucialchannelforlaparoscopicsurgicalinstrumentstoenterandexitthebody,maintainingabdominalpressureduringsurgery.TheSinglePortforsingle-incisionsurgeryallowsforflexibleinstrumentusethroughasingleincision,providingexcellentflexibilityandheatresistancesuitableforroboticsurgeryenvironments.TheLap-iXsuctionandirrigationdeviceisalaparoscopicsurgicalinstrumentthatcombinessuctionandirrigationfunctionswithanelectrodeforincisionandhemostasis.Thisnewproductboastshigherprofitabilitycomparedtoexistingonesandhasreceivedspecial510KapprovalfromtheUSFDA,demonstratingitstechnologicalprowess.Thecompanyoperatesa100%in-houseproductionsystemtomanufactureflawlesslaparoscopicmedicaldevices,ensuringcustomersatisfactionthroughstringentqualitycontrol.
