March 27, 2025,CIRCULINE^®The first commercial implantation of a dialysis artificial blood vessel was successfully completed at the Vascular Surgery Department of Longhua Hospital Affiliated with Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, led by Professor Shi Yaxue and her team. This marks the first commercial implantation of this artificial blood vessel since its market launch.Baiyouda and its wholly-owned subsidiary ChangdiUnleashing a new chapter in domestic blood pathway innovation through comprehensive, independent innovation across the entire chain.

CIRCULINE^{The ® dialysis artificial blood vessel received the innovative medical device registration certificate issued by the National Medical Products Administration in December 2024, marking the official birth of China’s first domestically produced dialysis artificial blood vessel approved for market launch.}

According to reports, China's special review procedure for innovative medical devices targets products that possess Chinese invention patents, are technologically pioneering domestically and internationally leading, and have significant clinical application value. The approval of the CIRCULINE® dialysis artificial blood vessel for medical device registration signifies that China has broken the import monopoly in the field of dialysis artificial blood vessels.

"Compared to similar products on the market, the CIRCULINE® dialysis artificial blood vessel has undergone disruptive innovation in raw materials and product processes," said Dr. Du Guangwu, the founder of Baiyoda. This product is made of ePTFE artificial blood vessels and textile-type artificial blood vessels combined through medical-grade high-elastic silicone gel, resulting in an innovative dialysis artificial blood vessel with a three-layer structure consisting of inner, middle, and outer layers.

CIRCULINE® dialysis artificial blood vessels are suitable for the establishment of arteriovenous fistulas, creating a vascular access that can withstand repeated punctures and has sufficient blood flow to meet the needs of hemodialysis. This product integrates the advantages of mainstream dialysis artificial blood vessels on the market, providing excellent blood compatibility, biocompatibility, and anti-bending performance, while also being resistant to puncture. Before approval, this product underwent over 300 randomized controlled clinical trials in China, compared to similar products from the American company Gore, which are currently the most used in clinical settings domestically, demonstrating comparable performance in patency rates, anti-thrombosis, and other metrics to imported products.
