With the rapid development of the era of minimally invasive surgical instrument manufacturing, the supply chain system of minimally invasive surgical instrument manufacturing will also usher in major technological changes. Technological upgrades will come from the continuous needs of the industry, and the barriers of key manufacturing technologies in the industry will be gradually realised in terms of manufacturing system optimisation and cross-border empowerment.

Abrasive flow polishing, for example. Abrasive flow polishing, a buzzword that is both unfamiliar and familiar. It is applied to the surface of high-end, minimally invasive structural metal microtubes. In fact, the abrasive flow polishing process has been around for a long time to remove roughness from metal surfaces. However, it has not been better applied to medical tubing cavities. With the advancement of technology, the effect of abrasive flow has made a qualitative improvement in speed, high light quality, cost, surface residue resolution, etc. I believe that its application in the minimally invasive field will be favoured by more practitioners in the future.

Several ideas and applications of abrasive flow in the field of minimally invasive surgery:

1. Completely change the technology of metal tube drawing industry to compensate for the defects of internal cavity roughness.

2. Effectively and thoroughly remove the inner cavity oxide layer and improve the smoothness of the fluid.

3. Completely solve the roughness problem of slender metal microtubes.

4. Suitable for metals: memory nickel-titanium alloy, titanium alloy, stainless steel, high carbon steel, ceramics and other metals.

5. The continuity of improvement of internal cavity roughness in the field of minimally invasive surgery can reach up to Ra0.08 6. Improve surface parallelism and edge sharpness.
