Nature magazine has revealed the latest amazing medical achievement in the field of cardiac organs, as scientists from the American University of Northwestern have developed the smallest device in the world for this purpose with a size that does not exceed the rice.
Small device by large solutions
This innovative device is characterized by its ability to treat rare cases in children with birth defects in the heart, which does not exceed 1%, and most importantly, it can be injected directly into the heart without the need for complex surgeries, which reduces risks to patients, especially young ones.
Sophisticated wireless technology
The device does not depend on traditional wires, but rather wirelessly controlled via an external device placed on the chest, and the system works using red rays to monitor the heartbeat and send activation signals to the implanted device, ensuring an immediate response to any disorders.
A battery melts after performing its mission
The researchers replaced traditional batteries with a small voltage battery based on chemical reaction with body fluids, and the most exciting that the device is self -decomposing after the end of its mission, eliminating the need for its removal surgery.
A revolution in the treatment of heart disease
This innovation paves the way for treating heart disease in less mobilization, away from traditional surgical risks, with the development of this technology, absorbable devices may become a revolutionary solution to multiple health problems.
