In the fields of medicine, scientific research, manufacturing, etc., professional-grade disposable consumables often play a pivotal role. These seemingly simple but crucial products not only bear the heavy responsibility of ensuring safety and improving efficiency, but also require the deep integration of cutting-edge technological innovation and practical applications, which also makes the research and development of high-end disposable consumables a complex and sophisticated system engineering. However, technological innovation does not exist in isolation. It must be rooted in actual needs and requires strong alliances between powerful companies. Now, this practice has another typical example of cooperation. Recently, Bluesail Medical and Wanhua Chemical signed a strategic cooperation agreement at Wanhua Chemical’s Cishan headquarters and held a joint innovation laboratory unveiling ceremony. The content of this cooperation is mainly for both parties to give full play to their strengths and carry out deep integration, namely “Wanhua Chemical’s polyurethane industry chain advantages and ...
