Kangbo Knife
康博刀
Kangbo Knife (康博刀) is a minimally invasive tumor ablation system developed by Hygea Medical (海杰亚医疗), a Beijing-based company founded in 2010 that specializes in tumor interventional therapy and cryomedicine . The device integrates deep cryogenic freezing and high-intensity thermal therapy in a single probe, achieving temperatures from -196°C to 85°C to physically destroy tumor tissue . Invented by Tsinghua and CAS professor Liu Jing, it was the world's first such system and received Chinese regulatory approval in 2017 via the "innovative medical device" fast track, followed by EU CE certification in 2020 . By 2021 it had been used in thousands of procedures across lung, liver, breast, kidney, pancreatic, prostate, bone and soft tissue cancers, offering an alternative for patients unsuited to surgery or conventional chemoradiation . Hygea Medical raised a Series C+ round led by Gaorong Capital in 2021 to accelerate domestic and international expansion .
