A new ultrasound medical device for prostatitis - inflammation of the prostate gland - has been developed by Guorui Huihuang Medical Devices Co Ltd.

Chen Jiachuan, a professor at the Institute of Acoustics of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the principal inventor, says the mechanism uses controlled ultrasound to help blood circulation and metabolism, thereby boosting regeneration of damaged tissue.

A dozen prostate disease specialists, including Cao Zeyi, former deputy minister of the Ministry of Health and current vice-president of the School of Medicines of Tsinghua University, approve of the device.
