The new steerable robotic needle designed by scientists at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee could prevent a lot of collateral damage during brain surgery. In simulations, the needle removed 92% of blood clots.
“I think this can save a lot of lives. There are a tremendous number of intracerebral hemorrhages and the number is certain to increase as the population ages,” says Dr Kyle Weaver, professor of neurological surgery.
