From September 9th to 12th, 2025, the 28th World Congress of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) was grandly held in Santiago, Chile.
IFSO: The Benchmark in the Global Field of Bariatric Surgery
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.
Victor Medical’s Innovation and Commitment
At this conference in Chile, Victor Medical made a glorious return with its fully electric endoscopic cutting stapler - VicGenius (second Generation), once again becoming a hot topic among attendees. The second-generation of fully electric endoscopic cutting staple has 65°large turning angle which attracted the attention of numerous professionals with its unique design and outstanding performance. During the congress, many doctors and distributors tested fully electric endoscopic cutting stapler and highly praised its exceptional performance.
At the same time, Victor Medical’s disposable laparoscopic multi-fire clip applieralso drew many visitors. Composed of a ligation lock, fixed cover, and base, this product can quickly and effectively close tissue during surgery, reducing operation time and trauma while improving surgical success rates. It is suitable for various surgical procedures, including general surgery, thoracic surgery, and cardiac surgery. Through these innovative products, Victor Medical demonstrates its technical depth in the field of minimally invasive surgery, as well as its commitment to innovation and sustainable development.
Deepening Exchanges, Creating the Future Together
During the three days of in-depth exchanges, Victor Medical’s General Manager Jake Wan and sales team were fully engaged, participating in productive interactions with top global experts and peers. We not only listened to cutting-edge keynote speeches by internationally renowned scholars, mastering the most advanced surgical techniques and treatment concepts in the field of metabolic and bariatric surgery, but also sparked many inspiring ideas through exchanges.
Many attending experts, scholars, and partners visited Victor Medical’s booth, 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 Chile, 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. We look forward to working with global colleagues at the 2025 IFSO World Congress in Chile to jointly outline a future blueprint for metabolic and bariatric surgery that is more precise, minimally invasive, and safe.
