Mindray Medical International co-CEO Minghe Cheng said: "Since we acquired a majority stake of Dragonbio in 2012, the integration has been well on track.
"We are optimistic about the prospects of the orthopaedic consumable market in China and have therefore decided to make Dragonbio our wholly owned subsidiary.
"The transaction is expected to help us manage and expand the business more efficiently and effectively through our strong capital position, large-scale operational experience and worldwide presence."
