Hunter's comment

Note: The Univerity researchers did not give their device a specific name so I called it with what I think is their closest description: Bioresorbable electronic medicine.

The device delivers electronic pulses to damaged nerves and these electronic pulses speed up the healing process. It stays in the nerves and keep speeding up the nerve regeneration for 1 to 2 weeks. After that, it disolves and disappears into the body. This way, there is no need for another surgery to remove it or have a permanent implant in the body.

“With this device, we’ve shown that electrical stimulation given on a scheduled basis can further enhance nerve recovery.” - Dr. Wilson “Zack” Ray

Watch the concept as to how the device works.

Watch the actual device.

Gave this my all because I think it is a fantastic technology that can save a lot of human lives. I really love the idea of dissolution, removing it back by surgery might be a bit uncomfortable. It is totally fine to dig up this kind of technology on this platform. Not so glamorous but excellent for humanity. Kudos

The second surgery or permanent implant is what this device tried to avoid so yes, I agree that this can save many lives. Thank you for your support.

It is indeed a great breakthrough in the field of medicine. It can save many lives at the same time save costs for second surgery.
