On September 9, 2026, the latest supply chain report of the global veterinary medical device industry shows that the independent controllable rate of core materials and precision processing technology for small animal orthopedic surgical instruments has increased to 76%, and the supporting rate of high-quality stainless steel orthopedic instrument sets in the local market has exceeded 88%. The core indicators such as clamping precision and instrument wear resistance of domestic products have fully met the clinical needs of most small animal orthopedic surgeries.

      For a long time, the precision heat treatment of small orthopedic pliers and the service life of the blade of bone saws have been the core technical barriers in the industry, which directly determine the operation efficiency and surgical safety. In the past, the high-end small animal orthopedic instrument market was long dominated by overseas brands. In the past three years, local processing enterprises have continuously made breakthroughs in precision forging and mirror polishing technology, and have successfully broken the long-term monopoly of overseas supply chains.

      The measured data shows that the domestic small animal orthopedic instrument set processed by the new process has a jaw clamping accuracy of 0.01mm, which can stably complete the fine operation of minimally invasive fracture reduction. The average service life of the Kirschner wire drill bit has increased from 120 operations to more than 300 operations, and the overall cost of use for veterinary clinics has been reduced by 52%. Compared with the products three years ago, the average failure-free use times of the new generation of domestic orthopedic instruments have increased by 140%, and the reliability of some head brands has reached the mainstream level of similar international products.

      At the downstream application end, more and more veterinary specialty hospitals are actively choosing localized small animal orthopedic instruments. From January to August this year, the procurement proportion of local orthopedic instruments in small and medium-sized veterinary clinics in East Asia has exceeded 82%. Many users feedback that local products not only have a delivery cycle 70% shorter than imported products, but also can provide faster after-sales replenishment and customized configuration services, which is more in line with the actual operation needs of private clinics.

      Industry institutions predict that by 2028, the localization rate of high-precision small animal orthopedic surgical instruments will exceed 90%, and the market share of local products in the global emerging market will further increase, promoting the continuous enhancement of the supply chain resilience and cost advantages of the entire industry.
