Revolutionary 'Lab-on-a-Scalpel' Offers Surgeons Real-Time Diagnostic Data During Operations
A team of researchers at the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague has introduced a pioneering surgical instrument that integrates diagnostic capabilities directly into a standard scalpel.
This new device, termed the 'Lab-on-a-Scalpel,' enables surgeons to obtain immediate biochemical feedback during procedures, potentially transforming the way intraoperative decisions are made.
The 'Lab-on-a-Scalpel' addresses a longstanding challenge in surgery: the delay associated with laboratory analysis of tissue or fluid samples.
Traditionally, samples collected during surgery must be sent to external laboratories for testing, resulting in a time lag that can hinder rapid decision-making.
The 'Lab-on-a-Scalpel' enables surgeons to obtain immediate biochemical feedback during procedures.
