In the near future, Bluesail will have four product lines in the innovation center: Coronary intervention products, Structural heart products, Peripheral vascular products, and Neurovascular products.
With the concept of mutual building and sharing, Blue Sail built the platform for both health protection and health care via industry investment and venture capital. Blue Sail is committed to developing a world-class leading enterprise in the comprehensive medical industry as a famous brand trusted by the public.
