adoption of next-generation surgical robotics manufactured in China. Among the "Made-in-China" solutions praised in the coverage is none other than the Edge® Multi-Port Surgical Robot — a flagship innovation independently developed by Edge Medical. The first batch of clinical procedures using the Edge system has already been successfully completed at the hospital.

Milan Welcomes "Made-in-China" Innovation

China's Embassy in Italy Publishes Official Coverage

Milan General Hospital has announced the installation of two next-generation Chinese surgical robotic systems. Hospital leadership stated that this initiative reflects their commitment to exploring global innovation and embracing emerging technology markets.

On August 13th, China's Embassy in Italy published an official article recognizing and reporting on this development. The accompanying photographs captured Milan-based physicians participating in hands-on simulation training with the Edge® robotic platform — preparing the clinical team for broader multi-departmental applications. To date, all clinical training activities have been successfully concluded, and the system has entered routine multi-specialty surgical use.

Prof. Boni, Director of General and Minimally Invasive Surgery at Milan General Hospital and Professor at the University of Milan, offered a clinical perspective on the new Chinese platform: the "Made-in-China" surgical robot delivers significant clinical value, providing surgeons with enhanced visualization of operative anatomy and superior precision in instrument manipulation. These capabilities translate directly into more refined tissue handling, benefiting patient recovery outcomes. Additionally, the new platform introduces advanced features in imaging quality and intraoperative fluorescence — laying a robust foundation for the future development of telesurgery, digital integration, and AI-assisted surgical technologies.

China-Italy Medical Cooperation Reaches a New Milestone
