See How Robots Deliver Medicine Inside the Heart: These Mini Robots Should Swim Right Into the Heart
Johns Hopkins University engineers have created robots the size of a pencil tip intended to travel through the body to deliver medicine to infections inside a bearing heart. The bots, designed to replace risky open-heart surgery and effective IV-drug therapy to treat life-threating heart infections, could also be used to less invasively and more precise treat other hard-to-reach diseases including cancer.
Engineers at Johns Hopkins University have developed magnetic microrobots that deliver antibiotics directly to infected tissue of the beating heart via a bloodstream.
