The materials used are different
The average price of cardiac stent medical products was more than 10,000 yuan before, but now the price has plummeted, and the price is set at around 700 yuan. It can be said that the price has dropped from The sky has dropped directly to the ground, and the huge price reduction will inevitably arouse the anxiety of the masses: Why is the price reduced so much? It’s cheap but not good. Can this product be used in the future?
In fact, everyone’s anxiety is normal, but at the same time, there is no need to worry too much. Like technological products, new medical products such as cardiac stents are also subject to upgrading. Most of the previous generations of stents used bare stents, made of stainless steel. With the continuous upgrading, the materials have gradually been updated to titanium alloy, chromium alloy, etc., making the stents more effective and lighter. .
?The cardiac stent underwent a relatively significant upgrade in 2006, that is, it was upgraded to a new generation of drug-eluting stent. The function of this stent is not only to support the opening of blood vessels and prevent blood obstruction, but also It can also accurately deliver drugs to the unknown part of the disease, and deliver the drug to that location, with a significant improvement in effect.
Let’s talk about the stent with this price reduction. This stent is exactly the drug stent used. This new type of stent has been demonstrated by many experts. Cao Yong’s is a new alloy material with lower raw material prices. At the same time, It is also more technologically advanced. Relevant data shows that the chromium alloy rapamycin and its derivative coronary drug-eluting stents included in the centralized procurement are the most widely used and clinically recognized group of coronary stents.
In fact, the anxiety of the general public about this major price cut is completely understandable. After all, the public has been brainwashed by the ultra-high prices of medical equipment before, thinking that high-end medical products like this must be expensive, causing people to The perception of the value of medical consumables is too high. Now that the price has suddenly shrunk significantly, it can't help but make people suspicious. In fact, this kind of anxiety is completely unnecessary. As time goes by, science and technology are advancing, medical standards are constantly improving, and the price reduction of medical equipment is also an inevitable trend. I hope that the country’s medical care will have longer-term development in the near future and benefit the people. .
