Medical Technology


Certain cases of sicknesses have made the world of doctors confused but upcoming in medical technology might change that. The medical world will be very different soon.
            The first technology to talk about is an anti bleeding gel. Remember the days when you used to trip and scrape your knee and then it would star bleeding well those days are no more. Thanks to the work of Landolina and Isaac Miller creating Veti-Gel, a cream-like substance that will instantly seal a wound and start the clotting process. It will stop bleeding as fast as it is applied.
            The other thing is artificial cell mimicry. It’s obvious that the direction of medical technology is leaning more towards reproducing human tissue outside the body, allowing us to create “spare parts,” so to speak. If one organ isn’t working, we can just replace it with a new one, fresh off the assembly line. Now that idea is moving down to the cellular level with a gel that mimics the action of specific cells.
            The material is formed in bunches that are only 7.5 billionths of a meter wide—for comparison, that’s about four times wider than a DNA double helix. Cells have their own type of skeleton, known as a cytoskeleton, which is made of proteins. The synthetic gel will take the place of that cytoskeleton in a cell, and when it’s applied to, say, a wound, it replaces any cells that were lost or damaged. In a practical sense, it would work like a tiny, tiny sewer grate. Fluids can pass through the cell, which allow the wound to continue healing, but the artificial skeleton prevents bacteria from passing through with the fluid.- http://listverse.com/2013/03/22/10-medical-technologies-that-could-shape-the-future/
                  The doctors who work on this are heroes and they will be some of the best in their career. They will make some of the best technological advances that have ever been made.
