Surgical procedures completely different from conventional surgical approaches began to be developed to improve minimally invasive surgery. New devices are required for new surgical procedures. Domestic companies in Japan encounter extremely difficult tasks when developing such devices, receiving regulatory approval, initiating commercialization, and ensuring their absolute safety. With the focus on high-speed lavage of the gastrointestinal tract in multipiercing laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery, this paper explains how to develop a micro-nano bubble generator that satisfies the above requirements and regulations for new devices.
