The structure of the brain require to improve the set of surgical instruments and optics. Otherwise, will be difficult to navigate the microstructures in a surgery, which often divided by few millimeters. Lab specialists from NASA and California Institute of Technology created a miniature camera-endoscope MARVEL (Multi Angle Rear Viewing Endoscopic tooL), which minimizes the invasiveness of surgery on the brain because of the size - 4 * 13 mm.
The camera MARVEL has only one lens, but it is very flexible and bends under all possible angles. Two apertures closed by various combinations of red, green and blue color filters create three-dimensional images without the need for the second lens.
In surgical practice, when you want to access the internal prganes, science goes two ways: created and improved sets of surgical instrument, or try new approaches and additional cuts.
The surgical instrument consists of two modules, contains of three cylindrical air chamber. By changing the pressure level in each chamber, the manipulator can be made to bend, stretch and extend along the length in a certain direction. Granules filler helps to keep the manipulator position taken - with a vacuum seal, they are heavy and harden.
As part of the program of space exploration there are sets of surgical instruments, working in weightlessness, and augmented reality system that will apply computer graphics to the body and organs of the patient, step by step guide the actions of astronaut and a surgeon. Such a program is already running on the ISS. She successfully directs the actions of unprepared person during the execution of operations and other medical procedures, yet the truth is simple. The system consists of three-dimensional points, and the ultrasonic transducer. Markers located in the key points of the body, provide a binding system of the patient and the display calibration.
Company WestMedGroup always ready to offer its customers a modern set of surgical instruments and equipment for life support.
