Hunter's comment
Harward University has developed a soft robotic sleeve which helps the heart in its beat.
This sleeve is customizable and it fits around the heart while doing open surgery.
This sleeve doesn't need an implant in the heart, it simply simulates the heart in its rhythm to pump the blood.
There is no need to penetrate heart to make its beat like the available technology which reduces the dangerous situation in heart surgery as well as strong medicines.
The softrobot fits around the heart and mimics the heart beat to have a better surgery environment, without any contact with blood.
Safe and risk free heart surgery can be done with the help of this soft robotic sleeve.
