The company’s products, including protective face masks and surgical gowns, are sold in numerous pharmacies across China and internationally. A notable innovation was the development of all-cotton spunlace non-woven fabrics. Furthermore, Winner Medical prioritized quality over profit, brand over speed, and social value over corporate value.
