La Fenice® is a medical device in-house developed by MicroPort Lifesciences. It is used for the administration of insulin in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. It mimics nature pancreatic insulin delivery by infusing fast acting insulin continuously through infusion set and reservoir to maintain stable blood glucose for the patient throughout the day and night.

According to statistics, China has the highest growth rate of diabetes patients in the world, with one in 10 people suffering from diabetes.
