It has propriety R&D technology and a number of global patents, with products selling to the world, aimed at serving more patients and caring for human health.
The harm of nosocomial infection is more and more serious, but there are few related products. To this end, Yichenyun Health focuses on the prevention and control of nosocomial infection and has first developed the catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) prevention and control device and the umbilical cord care device in newborns.
CRBSI prevention and control devices are used to prevent possible infections during catheter insertion in cancer chemotherapy, intensive care, hemodialysis of renal failure, parenteral nutrition, and surgery.

Long-term catheter insertion is required during chemotherapy, which makes the high possibility of CRBSI.

In addition, patients can be trained to use the device directly at home, which will greatly improve efficiency. It is also worth mentioning that the device is also applicable to children, infants and allergic people.
