SHANGHAI, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At CMEF 2026, VITAL MedTech, the healthcare unit of VITAL MATERIALS, unveiled a full range of innovations based on its semiconductor core technologies. It demonstrated its full vertical integration across core materials, chips, and medical systems.
Technology Breakthrough: Mastering Core Components Development Technology
Global medical imaging technology is transitioning from digitalization to precision. Experts point out that the future of medical imaging lies in the ability to capture weak vital signals – a capability directly determined by the physical properties of front-end detectors.
For years, the medical imaging industry has hit a bottleneck: heavy reliance on external supplies for core components of high-end imaging systems. Leveraging VITAL MATERIALS' expertise in first- to-fourth-generation semiconductor materials, VITAL MedTech translates semiconductor advantages into tangible clinical value in medical imaging.
Vertical Integration: From Materials to Medical Systems
At CMEF 2026 , VITAL MedTech highlighted its core technologies built on semiconductors such as CZT, SiC, and InP, demonstrating its full vertical integration.
Precision-Oriented Diagnosis: Its self-developed CZT detectors break the physical limitations of traditional scintillator detectors and enable the capture of every X-ray photon, thus bringing higher energy resolution.
High-End MRI: Leveraging wide-bandgap semiconductor technology, the self-developed gradient amplifier with SiC units achieves extremely low switching losses and nanosecond-level response, greatly enhancing slew rate and thermal management efficiency. This lays the foundation for low-helium / helium-free MRI systems with increased scanning speed and millisecond-level imaging capability.
Intelligent Imaging Data chain: With InP optoelectronic co-packaging technology, VITAL MedTech has realized an ultra-high-speed data transmission pathway that solves data congestion for massive datasets, thus enabling real-time processing of PB-scale raw data.
Empowering Clinical Practice: For Better Patient Care
Mr. Zhu Shihui, Founder and Chairman of VITAL MATERIALS, stated at the launch: "Semiconductors are the bedrock of high-end medical equipment. Our goal is not just to manufacture equipment, but to deliver more precise clinical tools through innovation in materials science, contributing our strength to healthcare."
Experts noted that VITAL MedTech's full-industry-chain model breaks the efficiency bottleneck of traditional R&D. It brings faster transformation of scientific achievements and new development pathways for the high-end medical equipment industry.
VITAL MedTech is transforming these core underlying technologies into solutions for diverse clinical scenarios, ensuring more patients benefiting from technological innovations.

Breaking the Bottleneck in Medical Imaging Core Components: VITAL MedTech Unveils Its Vertical Integration Solution from Materials to Medical Systems at CMEF 2026
HOUSTON, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Arriving just in time for National Plumbers Day and the kickoff of the busy spring renovation season, VEVOR today launched its 18V High-Efficiency Compact Propress Tool. Engineered to empower professionals facing a surge in residential and commercial projects, this new solution helps plumbers complete copper connections faster, even in the most restrictive working spaces. With press cycles as fast as 3 seconds, a 360° swivel head, and dual 18V batteries, the tool is purpose-built to slash installation time and physical strain while delivering pro-level performance at an accessible price point.
Uncompromising Performance Without the Premium Markup
For plumbing professionals and dedicated home creators, reliability and speed are non-negotiable. They demand tools that simply perform better under pressure. The VEVOR Compact Propress Tool answers this call with uncompromising, jobsite-ready power. Engineered with a high-efficiency 18V motor and delivering rapid 3-second press cycles, it outpaces many traditional options in pure performance. By combining superior capability with an unexpectedly accessible price point, VEVOR ensures that anyone entering the trade or upgrading their arsenal can instantly access top-tier performance without the financial strain.
Behind the accessible price point is a commitment to uncompromising, professional-grade manufacturing. The VEVOR Compact Propress Tool features hydraulic cylinders precision-machined using advanced Mazak 7-axis CNC technology, ensuring top-tier durability and leak-proof stability. Its jaws are forged from vacuum heat-treated carburized steel—the same cutting-edge metallurgical process utilized by the industry's most premium brands. Built to exceed standard stress tests, this meticulous engineering ensures the tool delivers proven, heavy-duty reliability right out of the box, ready to withstand the daily rigors of demanding jobsites.
"Professional-grade efficiency shouldn't be a privilege gated by legacy pricing," said Gavin, Brand Director at VEVOR. " Our mission is to tear down those financial barriers, putting high-performance tools directly into the hands of anyone ready to elevate their craft and take pride in their work."
Built to Solve Common Jobsite Challenges
More than specs alone, a propress tool is judged by how it performs in real installation environments. VEVOR designed the 18V Compact Propress Tool around three common jobsite needs: faster cycle times, better access in tight spaces, and dependable runtime for repeated pressing tasks.
- Faster Cycle Times for Demanding Jobs (Up to 60% Faster Crimping):
Slow crimp cycles can severely bottleneck productivity on large-scale jobs. By delivering press cycles in just 3 seconds—compared to conventional 5-second tools—VEVOR boosts the crimping rate per minute by up to 60%. Across multiple connections, that time savings can help users reduce downtime, minimize repetitive physical strain, and keep projects moving on schedule.
- Better Access in Tight Spaces (360° Swivel Head):
Pipe installations frequently occur in highly restrictive environments, such as ceiling crawl spaces or beneath cramped cabinetry, where limited mobility can compromise efficiency. To address this structural challenge, VEVOR engineered the tool with a smooth 360-degree rotating head. This mechanism enables users to precisely calibrate their approach angle without awkward contortion, ensuring a secure, professional-grade seal even in the most challenging spaces.
- Extended Runtime and Jobsite Durability:
To support repeated pressing tasks, the kit includes two 18V 2.0Ah batteries for extended runtime. Under test conditions, the system supports approximately 200 presses per charge, depending on pipe size, material, and operating environment. For durability, the tool's jaws are made from vacuum-carburized steel to provide the hardness needed for secure gripping performance while maintaining the toughness required for repeated high-load applications.
Designed specifically for ProPress copper pipe crimping applications, the VEVOR Compact ProPress Tool is equipped with press jaws for crimping 1/2", 3/4", and 1" pipe sizes. Delivering 24kN of output force, the tool supports ProPress copper pipe connections up to 1-1/4 inches in diameter. The tool also features a digital display that provides real-time visibility into operating status and crimp count for added convenience on the job.
