First Wire-Free Solution Aids in Breast Localization During Biopsy Under MRI or Stereotactic Guidance
Today, roughly 40% of breast biopsies are performed under stereotactic or MRI guidance, creating the need for an additional office visit for reflector placement prior to surgery. Now, the first wire-free breast localization solution that can be deployed at the time of stereotactic or MRI-guided biopsy has received FDA clearance. More...18 Apr 2022
Joystick-Operated Robot Could Help Surgeons Treat Stroke Remotely
Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, Boston, MA, USA) have developed a telerobotic system whose movement is controlled through magnets and is designed to remotely assist in endovascular intervention. The robotic system can help surgeons quickly and remotely treat patients experiencing a stroke or aneurysm. More...14 Apr 2022
Surgically Implanted Wireless Neuro-Stimulator to Revolutionize Treatment of Neurological Disorders
Many neurological disorders like Parkinson’s, chronic depression and other psychiatric conditions could now be managed at home, thanks to a wireless neuro-stimulator that is set to revolutionize patient care. More...12 Apr 2022
“Lungs in a Box” Device Allows Surgeons to Rescue Potentially Viable Donor Lungs for Transplant
Out of all solid organs, lungs have the lowest utilization, with only one in five donated lungs getting transplanted. To help expand the donor pool, transplant surgeons are now using a ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) device designed to rescue potentially viable lungs and those initially deemed “unacceptable” for transplant.

Intuitive Patient Monitor Offers Patient-Tailored Approach for Cardiopulmonary Bypass Procedures
A transformative monitoring system that uses a patient-tailored approach to improve clinical efficiency and quality of patient care during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures is now in clinical use in select centers in the US and Europe. More...11 Apr 2022
Electronics Implanted on Spinal Cord Marks Breakthrough in Treatment of Neurodegenerative Disease
Thanks to an innovative system, a patient suffering from multiple system atrophy-parkinsonian type (MSA-P) has been able to get up and walk again after being bedridden for over a year. The system includes electronics implanted directly on the spinal cord to reactivate the neurons that regulate blood pressure, thereby preventing the patient from losing consciousness every time she’s in an upright position.

Ionic Communication Enables Wireless Data Transmission for Implantable Devices
Implantable bioelectronics are now often key in assisting or monitoring the heart, brain, and other vital organs, but they often lack a safe, reliable way of transmitting their data to doctors. Now researchers have invented a way to augment implantable bioelectronics with simple, high-speed, low-power wireless data links using ions, positively or negatively charged atoms that are naturally available in the body.
