Richard Wolf accelerates local manufacturing: two more products receive medical device registration certificates

Richard Wolf has reached another milestone in its localization strategy: two of our fiber ureteroscopes have officially received medical device registration certificates from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).

This is not only strong proof of the quality of Richard Wolf products, but also another major step forward in our long-term commitment to the Chinese market and to local manufacturing!

The two approved products are the fiber ureteroscopes with article numbers 8702534CN and 8703534CN. While maintaining Richard Wolf's uniform global standards of quality and craftsmanship, they combine local development and manufacturing.

-8702534CN

Working length 430 mm, autoclavable, 6/7.5 Fr, with angled eyepiece, distal sheath tip 6 Fr, direction of view 5°, with oval irrigation and instrument channel for 4 Fr or 2 x 2.4 Fr auxiliary instruments, including automatic valve for introducing instruments.

-8703534CN

Working length 430 mm, autoclavable, 8/9.8 Fr, with angled eyepiece, distal sheath tip 8 Fr, direction of view 12°, with oval irrigation and instrument channel for 5 Fr or 2 x 3 Fr auxiliary instruments, including automatic valve for introducing instruments

2026 will be a breakthrough year for Richard Wolf's local manufacturing strategy. We expect more core products to be manufactured locally and receive registration certificates this year, covering endoscopes, light sources, imaging systems and more.

We are committed to combining world-leading minimally invasive surgical technology with the advantages of local manufacturing, bringing more high-end "Made in China" medical solutions to physicians and patients in China.
