Harvard’s soft robotic sleeve
Sleeve attaches directly around the heart

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.

A great medical innovation indeed...
To be frank it feels strange to see the heart beating in real. A non invasive method to keep heart beating during open heart surgery:)
I am not a medical professional but i bet its a revolutionary tech... May be some doctor hunter can shed some light upon it.
This is must be an amazing technique for all doctors in heart surgery. It seems very useful in open heart surgery, I know that this is very dangerous work but this product robotic sleep may help out. Great innovation in medical science. Thumbs up!!
WOW! Soon and we will be able to have robot hearts as a transplant, reducing the need for donors. This product shows me, this will not be an illusion anymore! Super cool innovation, and super cool Hunt!
I'm late to the comment column on this post, but as a family physician I felt compelled to put in my thoughts. This is indeed a very interesting experimental device. Although the surgery to implant the device will almost certainly be an open thoracotomy, requiring a cardiothoracic surgeon to open the chest as with other open heart surgeries, the potential advantage of a durable device that can improve ventricular pumping function without implanting a pump inside the vasculature and requiring blood thinners and risking stroke is a major step forward.
The animal studies that are sure to follow should help determine how much irritation these devices cause on the outside of the heart, how durable the devices are and whether there unexpected complications with time of use.
I don't want to sound like a skeptic, but this device is far from ready for prime time, and has huge challenges to meet before being ready for use at scale in humans.
Still a cool hunt, allowing us to dream big.
This could be a great leap forward in the medical field. The open heart surgery could be entirely different with this innovation and thus the success rate could go up to great extent. Perfect hunt @sabari18.
ohh my god what a great thing i didn't knew we can even put a sleeve that will make heart pump i didn't knew we can even put something over heart wow what a great medical innovation i am so amazed to see that .so now there will be very less risk on open heart surgery May god save everyone from heart diseases but this will help out doctors aswell .
the best thing is it didn't required implant of heart .
you have stated very nicely and precisely that it really increased our knowledge . i hope many people will learn and get good benefits from it .
great hunt friend keep on hunting 😊 upvoted 100% 😊
I’m gunna eat healthier after seeing that thing pumping a heart lol
hahahhahahaa 😂🤣 the fear of heart surgery now gone
the idea itself pleases me is an advance in medical engineering to simulate the heartbeat with a holster, but it would be better to implement the idea for an artificial heart since to open.
The thoracic box just to make the heart beat in a surgery seems to me to be something more risky and unnecessary.
All i can write is Wow!!!
Very good innovation. Me personaly i already saved a human life few times in my life and it felt good.
But the scientists who make this can save a life of many millions i think.
And to be honest so good to read about these kind of products because we can never know when we will be the one who will need this in the future.
Big like for this hunt!
We all know that heart is one of the most delicate organs in human body. While we hear or even witness many successful heart surgeries, there is always the risk of attack or failure during the operation specially if there is a need for implant.
While I am hesitant for anything left inside the body as that will alter the natural function of any organ, I trust science and technology for life betterment. With this robotic sleeve, it sounds promising to reduce heart failures. It advances medical technology and engineering to save more lives.
Improving the quality of surgery and helping out patients in living/getting better is showing so much improvement through the use of new technologies, it will be interesting to see what people come up with next!
Whenever I see some enhancement in the medical science I do appreciate because to save a life in this world is a greatest job. And I believe doctors and scientists are the assets in this regard. This hunt reminded me open heart surgery of my mother in 2015. So I totally support it and appreciate your search: Harvard’s Soft Robotic Sleeve
Great search and I hope you will share some more useful stuff here at SH. Thanks for this one @sabari18
It’s a very good invention and unlike any other treatment that directly pumps the blood. The fact that it pumps the heart instead of pumping the blood directly makes it a much safer option in my opinion. Great hunting man!
if its a sleeve, then perhaps there are other innovative things like, assisting the heart to beat in cases of cardiac arrest, perhaps even a cheaper solution for those who find themselves bound to a lifetime heart related medication. Great hunt!
This product is a little scary.
Hear disease are common in our world and many die due to unavailability of the proper treatment and timely surgery. Although surgery is a difficult task and open heart surgery is much more difficult. But this soft robotic sleeves is trying to make open-heart surgery little easy. Medical engineering is really a life-saving subject.
Thank you for sharin such a nice hunt @sabari18
Wow, this is a very good search. Of course everybody likes this search. Whatever is easy without any problem, which easily conveys to us our destination. What could be better than that? Thanks a lot
In my point of view, nothing is more important to save a life. This can be done with the technology which this robotic sleeve elaborating clearly. This is such an amazing product which helps doctors to perform the open heart surgery conveniently.
Thank you for sharing this product @sabri18 and enlightened the heart surgeons in the world.
Well. I'm actually speechless as to the creation of this lil' gadget. I can't believe how far we've come. Pretty insane and well needed by those doing open heart surgery. I couldn't imagine having to go through something like that to begin with and any added comfort or ease of mind is welcomed I'm sure.
Really achieving a great milestone in heart surgery. It was almost a death in few years back once someone was came to know for a surgery. But with the passage of time in this specific area of medical we all have seen amazing progress. Very nice hunt Mr @sabari18. Appreciate it
