Comparison of traditional and modern dressings in healing surgical wounds
Up to two centuries ago patients were lucky to survive even minor surgical interventions without contracting life-endangering infections, and having to endure extreme distress. Such advances highlighted the importance of clean dressing and sterility. Lint, gauze and cotton rapidly replaced older types of dressings. Almost a century later another major advance occurred when Winter defined the ph...

متن کاملSurgical Instruments for Robotic Microsurgery
• Micro-scale surgery requires a very technically advanced skill set, including high hand-eye coordination and little-tono hand tremor. • To improve microsurgical procedures, such as vein suturing, we have developed tools for the REMS, a cooperativelycontrolled surgical robot that reduces tremor when operating. • Our goal is to design effective needle holders and validate the use of the REMS by...
متن کاملMethod and Apparatus for Improved Active Sonar
The invention is a method for improved active sonar using a singular value decomposition filtering and a Volterra-Hermite Basis Expansion to model real active sonar measurements. The fitting model minimizes the sum of the squared errors between a measured channel response, z(t), and model response, y(t), which is a fitted Volterra Series solution. The model requires as input an excitation wavef...
متن کاملQuality of surgical instruments.
INTRODUCTION Many surgeons will have encountered the scissors that would not cut, and the artery clip that comes off in a deep difficult location, but it would be reasonable to assume that new instruments should be of assured quality. This study reports the surprising findings of a local quality control exercise for new instruments supplied to a single trust. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between Jan...
