"If surgical robots can be domestically produced, how low can the price of a surgical robot go?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.
Currently, the biggest issue with promoting surgical robots is that the price is too high.
The cost of a single surgical robot exceeds the lifetime salary of a lead surgeon.
For many small hospitals, it's completely not cost-effective.
If domestic surgical robots can bring the price down, the market would expand greatly.
"For domestic surgical robots, we can currently manage to get the price to about three to four million,"
Xu Jinfeng said truthfully, "At present, the most mature domestic laparoscopic surgical robots are priced about fifty percent lower than international surgical robots.
The price advantage is very apparent, but there's not much room to go lower. Mainly because many surgical robot patents are currently held by major foreign companies.
