Korea has developed clear thrombosis "vascular robot"

Korea researchers developed a may move freely within the vascular and clears the thrombosis "vascular robot".

Korea Chonnam University recently published bulletin said that the University Research Institute for the development of this robot robot with a diameter of about 1 mm, 5 mm long.

Researchers have mini pig of intravascular success on this robot has been testing and produce the desired effect. In blood flow velocity and pulse beat frequency, mini pigs are similar to human beings, and therefore this robot future is expected to be used in clinical treatment.

Researchers said they first use CT technology draws three-dimensional images of blood vessels to determine the running path program robots, then the robot places the vascular and x-ray real-time monitoring robot in the position of the vessel.

This robot rely on external magnetic driver, per-second rotation, 20 to 30 times, can in coronary arteries, veins and arteries etc for free movement, and rotating the dredging of the vessel block.

Researchers plan to the next step to develop a diameter of 1 mm, length 10 mm "vascular robot" and increase its drug injection, cutting, treatment.
