Cardiac Defibrillator Implanted Under Skin Much Safer for Patients
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) improve survival of patients with heart conditions but can cause perioperative complications, including perforation of heart muscle or lungs, and blood clotting in veins. Now, a new type of cardiac defibrillator has been found to significantly reduce major complications for patients. More...02 May 2022
Bacteria-Repelling Silver Coating Prevents Infection of Implantable Medical Devices
A novel silver-based coating developed by researchers at University of British Columbia (UBC, Vancouver, BC, Canada) is being seen as a ‘silver bullet’ to kill bacteria and keep them from infecting patients who have medical devices implanted. More...28 Apr 2022
Nanotechnology Approach Locates and Removes Dangerous Endometriosis Lesions
