Gyro Knife Radiotherapy — Hygeia Healthcare's Core Strength

From Hospital Operator to Radiotherapy Manufacturer

Unlike most hospitals that only buy equipment from outside vendors, Hygeia Healthcare was born from and remains rooted in radiotherapy. The group researches, develops and manufactures its own stereotactic radiotherapy system called the Gyro Knife (陀螺刀), which uses a cobalt-60 radiation source.

Owning the technology gives Hygeia a distinct edge: control over equipment, operating cost and the ability to deploy radiotherapy across its own system and partner hospitals.

What Stereotactic Radiotherapy Does

Stereotactic radiotherapy directs converging beams precisely at a tumor, aiming to:

• Concentrate a high dose on the tumor region.
• Reduce radiation to surrounding healthy tissue.
• Shorten the number of sessions compared with conventional radiotherapy in many indications.
• Support treatment of tumors in difficult locations or near sensitive organs.

An Integrated Technology Ecosystem

• The Gyro Knife cobalt-60 system, developed by Hygeia itself, is the core technology that defines the group.
• Radiotherapy equipment is deployed consistently across the hospital chain and supplied to many partner hospitals.
• Radiotherapy is combined within multimodal protocols: surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

For patients, the advantage is treatment on a standardized, self-mastered technology platform rather than reliance on individually imported machines. This is what makes Hygeia stand out in oncology radiotherapy in China.
