In recent years, with the continuous advancement of medical technology, gas springs, a traditional industrial component, are gradually emerging in the medical field, bringing innovative solutions to rehabilitation treatment, surgical assistance and patient care. Experts point out that its precise buffering, support and adjustment functions are driving medical equipment to develop in a safer and more humane direction.
1. Rehabilitation equipment: Improving patient sports assistance experience
In rehabilitation medicine, gas springs are widely used in lower limb rehabilitation robots, adjustable beds and orthotics. For example, gait training equipment used by patients with stroke or spinal cord injury uses gas springs to achieve dynamic resistance adjustment, helping patients complete rehabilitation movements more naturally. The "intelligent joint brace" developed by a domestic medical technology company uses gas spring technology to automatically adjust the support strength according to the patient's muscle strength, greatly improving rehabilitation efficiency.
2. Surgical instruments: precise assistance for minimally invasive operations
In the field of surgery, the lightweight and stability of gas springs provide key support for instruments such as laparoscopy and orthopedic surgical arms. The "gas spring-assisted surgical stent" launched by a German medical device company can keep the instrument stable and suspended during minimally invasive surgery, reduce doctor fatigue, and reduce the risk of tissue damage to patients.
3. Nursing equipment: optimize patient safety and comfort
For patients with limited mobility, the backrest and leg rest of electric beds and wheelchairs use gas spring technology to achieve silent and smooth angle adjustment. A Japanese company has also developed a transport stretcher with a gas spring buffer structure to effectively reduce the bumpy feeling of patients during movement.
Industry Outlook:
According to market research firm Grand View Research, the global medical gas spring market size will reach US$230 million in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.8%. In the future, with the integration of intelligent technologies (such as sensor feedback systems), the application potential of gas springs in medical robots, remote surgery and other fields will be further released.
