SUZHOU, China: Founded in 2005 and based in Suzhou, Zumax Medical is a manufacturer specialising in dental surgical magnification devices. The company offers a wide range of these devices to meet diverse clinical and academic research needs. Additionally, Zumax has developed dental surgical magnification products specifically designed for training purposes at educational institutions.

Zumax offers a range of specialised loupes tailored for dental professionals. The SLH binocular loupes provide a clear, crisp image through multi-coated, high-grade glass lenses. The TTL loupes feature a wide field of view and adjustable angles for reduced fatigue during extended use, enhancing depth of focus and stereoscopic vision. The DFK PRO loupes, designed for microsurgery, include a prism deflection design for precise adjustment, high resolution and custom-fit options for optimal comfort.

The company’s commitment to quality and advancement has positioned it as a world-class brand, contributing significantly to global oral medicine. “Since 2005, we have introduced several groundbreaking innovations in China’s oral healthcare field, including the first Chinese dental microscope, LED dental microscope and high-magnification dental microscope, the world’s first integrated 3D dental microscope and the unique Easy360 smartphone high-definition imaging system,” said Xiangdong Li, chairman of the board.

Zumax primarily focuses on oral healthcare and generates 85% of its revenue from the dental industry. The company has a significant global presence, particularly in Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific, Oceania and South Africa, and recently in the Gulf region and North Africa. Zumax’s products are widely used in prominent dental schools worldwide, solidifying its reputation as a symbol of Chinese excellence in dental equipment.

Zumax’s products also cover fields such as ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery and are used in both community and general medical practice. Zumax has extensive experience in the industry and expertise in the research, development and manufacturing of medical optical devices.

New product development as a driving force

New product development is pivotal at Zumax, and Li highlighted its critical role in driving the company’s growth. Each year, Zumax dedicates around 20% or more of its sales revenue to research and development expenditure. Over the next three years, the company plans to introduce new oral microscopes, aiming to provide cost-effective solutions for the expansive private dental market while also preparing to launch advanced surgical microscopes for the high-end product segment.

Zumax is known for its original and innovative technological contributions, including the development of integrated microscopic 3D technology and a portable high-definition microscopic imaging system. The company maintains a focus on continuous product improvement, optimisation and innovation, striving to craft high-quality domestic products with meticulous attention to detail.

From endodontics to general practice

In the future, Zumax will focus on promoting oral microscopy technology, ensuring that dentists recognise its broad applicability beyond the treatment of caries and pulp disease. Oral microscopes are also invaluable in periodontics, implantology, restorative dentistry, orthodontics and preventive dentistry, among others. This broadens the scope of what can be seen and diagnosed, providing a common technological foundation for various dental specialties.

In addition, Zumax will gradually shift its market focus towards private dental practices, introducing a plan to enhance training goals and improve personalised service capabilities for private clinics. This initiative aims to ensure that users are proficient in microscopic techniques. Zumax intends to collaborate with training centres recognised by the Chinese Stomatological Association and engage in educational programmes with various dental societies. This strategy highlights Zumax’s broadening scope from endodontics to general dental practice.

“After more than a decade of continued effort, Zumax has risen to the ranks of world-class brands, becoming a prominent symbol of China in the global dental–medical equipment domain,” commented Li.

“Looking ahead, we will continue to persist in technology-driven innovation and focus on providing high-quality products and satisfactory services to our users. Our aim is to make significant contributions to oral medicine in China and globally,” he added.
