Jiaozuo Chest Wall Deformity Academic Annual Conference Concludes Successfully: EMK’s Non‑Surgical Correction Solutions Draw Significant Industry Attention

December 6 – The “First Third Session and Annual Academic Conference of the Chest Minimally Invasive Professional Committee,” jointly organized by the Chest Minimally Invasive Professional Committee of the Jiaozuo Medical Association and the Chest Wall Surgery Professional Committee of the Henan Medical Science Popularization Association, was successfully held today at the South Campus of Jiaomei Central Hospital in Jiaozuo. The conference brought together thoracic surgery experts from numerous renowned tertiary hospitals across the country to engage in in‑depth discussions and exchanges on cutting‑edge topics, including new advances in the diagnosis and treatment of chest wall deformities, minimally invasive techniques, and non‑surgical rehabilitation strategies.

During the special report session of the conference, Guangzhou Yikang Medical Technology Co., Ltd. (EMK) was invited to present a keynote report titled “Non‑Surgical Treatment Strategies for Chest Wall Deformities.” The systematic, personalized non‑surgical correction concepts and solutions proposed by EMK became a focal point of the meeting, sparking extensive discussion among the attending experts. This marks a shift in the industry’s approach to common chest wall deformities such as Pectus Excavatum and Pectus Carinatum – moving toward less invasive, more patient‑centered, and diversified treatment options.

In response to the trauma and psychological stress associated with traditional surgical procedures, EMK showcased its independently developed innovative solutions: the Smart Constant‑Pressure Pectus Excavatum Vacuum Bell and the 3D‑Customized Pectus Carinatum Brace. This product series aims to provide efficient and safe conservative treatment options for children and adolescents with mild to moderate deformities, especially those in critical stages of growth and development.

Core Advantages of the Solutions: Precision and Intelligence

Smart Constant‑Pressure Pectus Excavatum Vacuum Bell

This solution deeply integrates personalized customization with intelligent control technology.

• Precision 3D Modeling, Tailored Treatment Plan
  Based on the patient’s 3D scan or CT data, a precise chest model is reconstructed, and the vacuum bell structure and contact surface are custom‑designed according to the individual depression pattern – achieving “one patient, one device” personalized fit, laying the foundation for effective treatment.

• Smart Constant‑Pressure Control System for Stable Efficacy
  A built‑in high‑sensitivity pressure monitoring module instantly detects suction status and automatically compensates for pressure fluctuations caused by body movement or minor air leaks – ensuring stable therapeutic negative pressure.

• Smart Pressure Ramp Algorithm for Enhanced Comfort
  To improve patient comfort, the system employs a smart pressure ramp algorithm that gradually increases negative pressure, effectively alleviating initial discomfort.

• Personalized Pressure Protection for Safety
  The maximum pressure can be individually set, and the system automatically limits pressure to prevent over‑pressurization risks, safeguarding treatment safety.

• Smart Data Management for Full‑Cycle Tracking
  Supports Bluetooth data upload and local storage, ensuring data continuity and integrity for full‑cycle treatment tracking.

• Remote Monitoring via WeChat for Collaborative Care
  Through a dedicated WeChat mini‑program, parents can remotely view treatment data in real time and collaborate with physicians, enabling timely intervention and guidance – truly achieving “one patient, one plan” personalized rehabilitation management.

3D‑Printed Custom Pectus Carinatum Brace

Designed and fabricated based on the patient’s chest protrusion characteristics, the brace features a stable mechanical structure and comfortable fit, accommodating both daily activities and nighttime sleep. It aims to achieve optimal orthotic outcomes through long‑term, consistent wear.

This integrated solution advances the non‑surgical treatment of chest wall deformities from a traditional “experience‑based” model to a modern “data‑driven, precise, and intelligent” paradigm.

Strong Technological Foundation

EMK has established a solid technological foundation in the field of non‑surgical correction, holding multiple independent intellectual property rights, including 4 invention patents and 17 utility model patents. Core patents cover key products and technologies such as the “retractable pectus excavatum correction device,” “air‑leakproof Pectus Excavatum Vacuum Bell,” “variable‑thickness pectus excavatum correction device,” and a series of “pectus carinatum correctors,” demonstrating the company’s continuous technological innovation capability.

Nationwide Service Network

To enable more patient families to easily access scientific non‑surgical treatment, EMK has established direct‑service centers in multiple core cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Xiamen, forming a standardized nationwide service network. This helps alleviate the anxiety of patient families about surgery and provides a gentler, safer option.

Conclusion

This academic annual conference provided a high‑quality platform for cross‑regional, multidisciplinary exchange in the field of chest wall deformities and reaffirmed the growing importance of non‑surgical treatment strategies. Innovative companies like EMK are actively driving the development of chest wall deformity correction toward precision, intelligence, and visualization through continuous R&D and clinical practice. In the future, the industry hopes that more children can achieve healthy chest wall restoration through scientific conservative treatment without undergoing surgery.
