JSC "Vityaz" has mastered the production of a new type of medical product, developed at the enterprise with the support of the innovation fund of the Ministry of Industry of Belarus. The work on the pilot batch of dry air thermostats with a chamber volume of 80 liters has now been completed, which confirms the plant's readiness for serial production of the import-substituting novelty.
As reported to "Vitebskiye Vesti" by Anatoly Mokrinsky, Deputy Chief Designer of the Vityaz-S Engineering and Production Complex of JSC "Vityaz", the thermostat is a specialized piece of equipment and is in demand primarily in medical institutions and research centers. It is designed to obtain and maintain a stable temperature inside the working chamber, necessary for carrying out bacteriological and serological studies in clinical diagnostic and sanitary-bacteriological laboratories.
– Marketing research has shown that this type of product is in demand, and we are well acquainted with the medical equipment market, which is why the decision was made to expand the range of medical equipment from Vityaz, noted Anatoly Mokrinsky. Moreover, the thermostat has export potential. The enterprise intends to
promote the new product primarily to the markets of the Customs Union countries after
the relevant product registration.
In
terms of functionality, the thermostats from "Vityaz" fully comply with modern
requirements for this type of equipment. In particular, the product is equipped
with a touch indicator, has a USB interface, and an additional port for a
thermometer. At the same time, the design of domestic development can be
improved, which will contribute to increasing its competitiveness.
"Vityaz"
is consistently expanding its presence in the medical equipment market.
Today, the manufacturer has more than ten types of products in its arsenal. The
immediate prospect is the development of equipment for the disposal of medical
waste, which is actively being worked on by the leading designers and
technologists of IPC "Vityaz-S".
