Not long ago, OFweek 3D Printing Network reported that "3D printing" is thinner than the hair of the "smart micro-fish", this "mini-fish" can carry drugs into the blood vessels, used to detect toxins in the human body. Inspired by this, a team of the Institute of Precision Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong recently developed a braided medical device TE using the same technology, which can wirelessly capture images taken by entering the patient's stomach. The way it is delivered improves the quality of cancer diagnosis. èŒèšªEndoscope TE The traditional method of diagnosing intestinal cancer is usually endoscopy, that is, through the mouth or anus, a long hose with a light and a camera at the end is extended into the patient for observation. Through real-time video, the doctor can obtain the patient. First-hand information, but this approach is risky, it is easy to damage the patient's organs, bring pain to the patient, and the price is very high. TE is very small, only a dime size The 3D printing device, called the Endoscopic Endoscope (TE), has changed the drawbacks of previous diagnostic methods, swallowed it like a medicine, it works immediately, and you can control it remotely. Exercise in the patient's body. The TE drive unit consists of two opposite permanent magnets and one magnetic coil. When energized, the coil generates repulsion and gravity, which drives the TE to move like a cymbal. In order to test its reliability, the researchers have used the artificial stomach and the stomach of the pig to test. Although the image system has not been installed, they believe that the current model has entered the next stage of testing, and this equipment will definitely become Successful medical applications. zhangjiagang wellyoung material co.,ltd , https://www.wellyoung-board.com
