Beijing Nuokangda Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd, with its innovative medical instruments of intelligent polymer materials, won the grand prize.

Ophthalmologic operations are very common, but they are difficult surgeries requiring great accuracy. According to data from WHO, more than 285 million people in the world suffer from eye diseases, 39 million people are blind, and 246 million are amblyopic. Cataract, corneal defect and Lasik surgeries all use surgical sutures. Surgical sutures require a high skill and can cause post-operative tissue trauma. Their stitching and removal can cause infection, pain and discomfort, so that an eye sealant is needed in ophthalmologic operations to allow healing. The intelligent polymer material from Beijing Nuokangda Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd is the first eye sealant on the market in China.
