Taiwan's KSCH to install ZAP Surgical’s radiosurgery platform

It will be launched in Q4 2025.

ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc. has announced that Taiwan’s first vault-free ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery system will be installed at Kaohsiung Show Chwan Memorial Hospital (KSCH) in Q4 2025, with patient treatments starting in Q1 2026.

KSCH, part of the Show Chwan Healthcare System, will use the ZAP-X to advance its Neuro-Oncology services, offering non-invasive treatments for brain tumors and other neurological disorders.

The ZAP-X system uses a modern linear accelerator instead of Cobalt-60, eliminating the need for shielded radiation rooms and reducing the costs and logistical challenges associated with radioactive isotopes.

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a non-invasive, painless procedure that typically requires only one outpatient visit. Patients often resume normal activities the same day. The ZAP-X system’s gyroscopic maneuverability allows precise radiation delivery from multiple angles, minimizing exposure to healthy brain tissue and enhancing patient safety.

“SRS is revolutionising the way we treat brain tumors and neurological conditions,” said Dr. Min-Ho Huang, president of Show Chwan Healthcare System. “With the addition of ZAP-X at KSCH, we are reinforcing our commitment to providing world-class, non-invasive treatment solutions to patients in Taiwan and beyond.”
