Introduction

Yingzhong Yao is a notable inventor based in Shanghai, China. He has made significant contributions to the field of medical technology, particularly with his innovative designs that enhance surgical operability.

Latest Patents

Yao holds a patent for a "Rotation device, and drive shaft for rotation device." This invention features a drive shaft that includes an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer is a tubular structure, while the inner layer is accommodated within the outer layer, defining a central lumen for receiving an external mechanism. The design allows the outer layer to rotate about the central lumen, and the inner layer to roll relative to both the outer layer and the external mechanism.
