A PHD researcher of the Carnegie Mellon University, Matt Oberdier is working on project for developing a new hydrosurgery system that will help the physicians to manage the excessive bleeding at the time of operation, this is a very important issue in now day’s surgeries and most of the doctor’s experience excessive blood loss during some critical surgeries and Oberdier said that his system is especially designed to focus on this issue and thus help the surgeons to redily clear the excessive blood and control the bleeding during the critical stages of operation.
While talking about his project Oberdier said that “We are creating a device that will house a clear, hermetically sealed dome through which instruments may be passed, and a special pump to apply fluid pressure and monitor the flow to the surgical area” this tool can thus prove to be the very effective one especially during the brain surgeries when the doctors sometimes fail to control the small vessels, one of the co advisor of Oberdier, James Burgess a a neurosurgeon at Allegheny General Hospital and an adjunct lecturer in Carnegie Mellon’s Biomedical Engineering Department said that “About half of all surgeons’ time is spent trying to control some level of bleeding during most operations,”
According to many physicians the development o such tools was very much required and this work of Oberdier will surely help the medical experts to deal with some critical cases.
