In 2024 and 2025 microwave ablation medical devices represented one hundred percent of total revenue with no contribution from other medical devices.

Revenue from other medical devices accounted for one point six percent of total sales in 2023 and was nil in 2024 and 2025. Hospitals in China are the ultimate customers for all products. The company reaches hospitals through three channels direct sales sales through deliverers and sales through third party distributors. Direct sales involve the company marketing products submitting tender documents and receiving payment directly from hospitals. Sales through deliverers rely on state owned or publicly traded companies that aggregate product offerings and handle logistics while the company remains responsible for after sales service. Sales through distributors involve small and medium sized businesses that market and sell the products to hospitals and then place orders with the company. In 2023 revenue from direct sales was approximately one point three million US dollars from deliverers fifteen point two million US dollars and from distributors fifteen point zero million US dollars. In 2024 the figures were three point one million US dollars from deliverers sixteen point eight million US dollars and from distributors seventeen point two million US dollars. In 2025 the figures were one point four million US dollars from deliverers two point seven million US dollars and from distributors eighteen point four million US dollars. Pricing varies by channel with distributors generally receiving lower prices than direct sales or sales through deliverers. The company does not rely on any single source supplier for its distribution segment and the distribution activity has little impact on overall revenue levels.
