From September 1-4, 2026, the 29th World Congress of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) convened in Toronto, Canada. As a premier global event, it brought together top surgeons, scholars, and industry leaders from around the world. Victor Medical made a significant impact at the congress, showcasing two flagship innovations—the VicPower Endoscopic Stapler and the Reusable Endoscopic Linear Cutter Stapler—to advance precision and sustainability in minimally invasive surgery.
With the global rise of obesity and related metabolic diseases, bariatric surgery faces increasing technical demands. This year's IFSO emphasized two key trends: operational precision in confined anatomical spaces and sustainable resource utilization—areas where Victor Medical's R&D philosophy aligns perfectly. The IFSO Annual World Congress is the largest and most influential academic conference in the field of surgical treatment for obesity and metabolic diseases worldwide. It brings together top surgeons, scholars, researchers, and industry leaders from around the globe to share the latest clinical research results, advancements in surgical techniques, industry trends, and to discuss how to better address the increasingly severe challenges of obesity and its related metabolic diseases (such as diabetes, hypertension, etc.).
For Victor Medical, participating in IFSO is not only a window to showcase the company's strength but also a valuable opportunity to engage in direct dialogue with global top experts, gain deep insights into clinical needs, and drive product iteration and upgrades.
The VicPower Endoscopic Stapler was a major highlight at the congress, designed to excel in the deep, narrow spaces common in metabolic surgery. Positioned as "Designed for Precision in Narrow Spaces," it delivers Greater Articulation, Precise Control, and Secure Firing—three core advantages that set it apart in the field.
Ultra-Slim Design for Unrestricted Access: Its super slim olecranon design navigates tight surgical spaces effortlessly, providing excellent hemostasis and visibility—truly "reaching where space is limited."
55° Large Articulation for Intuitive Control: With a maximum 55° turning angle and an ergonomic rotation handle, it enables precise articulation control. Surgeons can achieve intuitive manipulation and accurate tissue positioning, even in hard-to-reach areas like the gastric fundus. "Position exactly where you need it."
Secure Tissue Grasping for Safe Firing: The precision-engineered non-slip bump surface minimizes tissue migration, ensuring consistent positioning throughout the stapling process for reliable results. "Stay stable when it matters."
Multiple Options: Available in various staple cartridge types and colors to meet different clinical preferences and tissue thickness requirements.
Beyond precision, Victor Medical also addressed surgical sustainability with its , offering a new approach to cost management and environmental responsibility. "Designed for Power and Durability," this instrument combines an all-metal construction with premium gold-toned aesthetics to deliver reliable performance over repeated uses.
All-Metal Structure for Durability: Built with an all-metal construction, it delivers exceptional structural strength and precise force transmission, ensuring reliable performance over repeated uses. The premium natural metal color with gold accents gives it a distinguished appearance.
Smoother and More Powerful Firing: The precision gear-and-rack mechanism ensures smoother firing action and more powerful stapling, even in challenging access angles. Surgeons can rely on consistent results procedure after procedure.
Cost-Efficient and Eco-Friendly: The reusable design significantly reduces disposable device consumption and operating costs. One reusable stapler can replace up to 60 single-use units—supporting a more sustainable surgical practice without compromising performance. "Reuse More, Reduce Costs, and Waste Less."
Ergonomic and Easy to Operate: Its ergonomic handle reduces surgeon fatigue during long procedures, while the smooth firing mechanism ensures consistent stapling and cutting—even in challenging access angles.
During the four-day congress, the Victor Medical team engaged in deep discussions with international experts. We listened to keynote speeches on cutting-edge techniques, gained insights into the latest treatment concepts, and exchanged ideas through face-to-face interactions. Many attendees visited our booth to experience our products firsthand, providing valuable feedback that will drive future innovation.
Many attending experts, scholars, and partners visited Victor Medical's booth (Booth NO.2), where they experienced firsthand the excellent operational performance and reliable quality of our products through close interaction. Several surgeons on site shared valuable clinical practical experiences with us and provided highly valuable insights for the optimization and innovation of our devices. This frontline feedback offers important inspiration for our future R&D direction and lays a solid foundation for deepening international cooperation.
From China to Canada, Victor Medical represents not only the manufacturing level of Chinese medical devices but also the active contribution of Chinese enterprises to improving global health and well-being. Participating in IFSO 2026 reinforced Victor Medical's commitment to advancing metabolic and bariatric surgery. Moving forward, we will continue to focus on clinical needs, refine our technologies, and collaborate with global partners to bring more innovative solutions to surgeons and patients worldwide.
We look forward to working with global colleagues to jointly outline a future blueprint for metabolic and bariatric surgery that is more precise, minimally invasive, and safe.
