Chapter 282 Digital Photoprocessing Hydrogel Polymer Composite 3D Printed One-piece Scaffold
The next patent application, clinical trials, approval, compliance with relevant US regulations, production and sales, etc., including the establishment of a new subsidiary, Zhou Qiao is used to being the shopkeeper, so he naturally throws it all to Jess Shepard to be responsible.
Maybe Zhou Qiao will participate in the clinical trial, and the other Zhou Qiao is too lazy to work hard.
Of course, this opportunity was given to Jace, and it was up to him whether he could do well. If the job is unqualified and unsatisfactory, Zhou Qiao can still be replaced.
Now there are a lot of talents in the Luoya Group, and there are elites recruited from all over the world, and it should not be a problem to find someone who can do it.
As for Zhou Qiao himself, he naturally devoted himself to the operation.
Professional things are left to professional people, and if he is not familiar with the business field, he will leave it to Jace, and in terms of surgery, he will naturally take the lead.
Boston Medical was very efficient and sent the samples two days later. The other party uses the current popular 3D printing technology, so it is very fast.
Clinically, each patient's specific tissues, organs and lesions are unique, but traditional medical devices are generally standardized in shape and size, which cannot truly meet the needs of each patient.
The 3D printing technology adopted by Boston Medical Company can quickly provide relatively low-cost device manufacturing according to the specific parameters provided by Zhou Qiao, which is very suitable for a wide range of applications in medical customization.
This kind of medical 3D application, not to mention the United States, even in China, has long been supported by relevant regulations, such as the "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Customized Medical Devices", which officially came into effect on January 1, 2020.
After he communicated with the patient and his family, the patient and family said that they were willing to accept this "clinical trial".
In fact, it is not an experiment, but a special life-saving thing, and the reason why this route is taken is simply to comply with the law.
Patients and families are particularly understanding.
If you don't understand, you can't do it, if you don't understand it, if you don't accept it, then wait for death! So it's quite refreshing for them to sign.
It is worth mentioning that Boston Medical Company attaches great importance to it, so the materials used this time are more advanced, and digital light processing technology is used to realize multi-material 3D printing of hydrogel-polymer composite structures, and quickly integrate multi-functional flexible structures and devices.
The hydrogel-shape memory polymer material added to the material also has a sustained drug release function, which can automatically expand and open the hardened and narrow cardiovascular system under a body temperature of 37 °C.
Experiments by Boston Medical have shown that the hydrogel loaded with the drug releases 3%, 16% and 30% after 2 minutes, 30 minutes and 1 hour, respectively, and can be completely released after 24 hours.
In fact, these are the results of the research of previous Academician Dominory. Academician Dominory's research institute covers a wide range of areas because he has too many enterprises under his umbrella. The Nobel Prize-winning field is just one of the more prominent topics.
After accumulating a lot of topics, it finally catalyzed a Nobel Prize-level. But the others are not bad, because the researchers in the institute started with a doctorate from a prestigious university. The slightly worse ones are not considered at all.
With this hydrogel-polymer high-precision multi-material complex hybrid three-dimensional structure of the aortic arch stent graft system, the patient's condition became "simple".
In many cases, advanced technology and advanced instruments directly solve the core key of surgery, making the impossible possible. That's the beauty of modern medicine.
Although traditional medicine has advantages in some diseases, for serious diseases, it still has to be modernized with high technology. This is also the proper meaning, after all, the times are developing.
With the rapid development of science and technology, the "new techniques" and "old techniques" in medicine will also collide and be eliminated.
……
Zhou Qiao, Murphy, and Stephanie reviewed the previously proposed surgical plan together, and then the operation began to be prepared.
Community hospital operating theatres.
There are still many doctors from many departments who come to the monitoring room to observe, and Zhou Qiao does not refuse, but there is no postoperative experience sharing meeting without pay, and how much you can learn depends on everyone's understanding.
That is, you can watch it, but I don't teach it, I don't explain it.
In fact, the core of the technology of this fully endoluminal minimally invasive surgery is all on the innovative stent, without this thing, this case would be fine.
The anesthesia team is still senior Nancy and her nurse anesthetist.
And on Zhou Qiao's side, how can there be less of Elena and Ava?
At this moment, Ava played a very beautiful song "Fireworks in the World": "A person later crossed the south of the Yangtze River, the smoke and rain were melancholy, and he could hear the canopy shaking lightly, but he didn't know what to think, and he sang to the sound of Xiao drums, a few songs broke people's intestines, and whose wall had the fragrance of plums......"
They have made great progress in Chinese now and can already understand some simple lyrics, so they are especially patriotic series, because the words of the national style series are quite beautiful, which is particularly attractive to foreigners like them who are initially dabbling in Chinese.
There is no harm if there is no contrast, Ava has heard a great English song before, and I also recommend it to Zhou Qiao, the song is great, but when I read the lyrics, I fainted. Compared with the national style series, it's like a kindergarten.
Of course, simplicity and catchiness are also one of the advantages.
"Once upon a time there was a ship that went out to sea, and its name was the Teapot, and as the wind blew, and it set sail, and the wind blew hard, and it would soon come back and bring us sugar, tea, and rum......"
However, the melody is really good, and the more I listen to it, the more I get it, but I can't translate it. The lyrics of this "Wellerman" are still relatively good, and there are many simpler and more childish famous songs.
Zhou Qiao concentrated on the operation, and with the assistance of two beautiful assistants, Murphy and Stephanie, he introduced the stent through the right femoral artery and brachial artery, and positioned the main body of this new stent in the patient's ascending aorta.
Unfold to cover the entire lesion area and establish a good "foundation".
Subsequently, the three vascular branches were "docked" one by one to reopen the vascular "pathway".
The steps are simple, but the actual operation is naturally high-precision and technical.
The stakes are also significant. Because the site of the aortic hematoma is very easy to break, and the failure of remodeling of the blood vessels on the aortic arch can cause brain damage.
Therefore, despite the innovative weapon, Zhou Qiao is still cautious and does not have the slightest carelessness.
The whole operation is like a "cliff rope", the "rope" is still a very thin steel wire, and if you are not careful, the patient will fall into the abyss.
Eventually, an hour later, the surgery was successfully completed.
On the second day after surgery, the patient was able to get out of bed and move normally, and had the strength to chat with the nurse.
The patient's family was pleasantly surprised, and they never expected that there would be a significant effect so quickly. You must know that before the operation, the patient was lying on the hospital bed all day long, with a feeling of waiting to die.
After this surgery, it was like ushering in a new spring.
Three days later, the aortic dissection aneurysm, which was originally "ignited everywhere" in the patient's body, had been completely "isolated", plus some other examinations, comprehensive evaluation, and met the criteria for discharge.
Of course, if you want to stay for a few more days and use medicine for a few more days, it's okay, and Zhou Qiao can make more money. It's just that after meeting the discharge criteria, Zhou Qiao made it clear to the patients and their families that it was up to them to decide whether they could live or not.
Compared with the operation fee, that money is not worth mentioning, and Zhou Qiao can't afford to damage his reputation for this small profit.
People in the community hospital said that Dr. Zhou is really a golden signboard, and it seems that since his debut, he has not tasted a single defeat, which is simply a miracle.
In response to this operation, Zhou Qiao privately discussed with Murphy and Stephanie to bring forth the new, develop new surgical methods for different complex types of aortic dissection, formulate different surgical plans, and improve the technical reserves of the iris clinic.
After this kind of private discussion, the next time you encounter a similar situation or a more complicated situation, you can do it more perfectly.
