## Common questions

### What is Toumai?

MicroPort MedBot developed the Toumai, a four-arm laparoscopic surgical robot that became the first Chinese-developed surgical robot to receive NMPA regulatory clearance, granted in January 2022. The system uses 3D HD vision and wristed surgical instruments for minimally invasive procedures across urology, gynecology, and general surgery. A single-port variant, the Toumai SP, received separate NMPA clearance in March 2025, and a tele-operative version received NMPA approval in May 2025 as the first tele-surgical robot authorized for commercial clinical use globally.

### Who makes Toumai?

Toumai is made by MicroPort MedBot, based in Shanghai, China.

### Where is Toumai deployed?

No verified deployments of Toumai are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
