牛津大学和剑桥大学的研究人员开发了由折纸启发的折叠植入器,这种植入器在大脑中扩展,有可能使癫痫手术更加安全。 Researchers at the University of Oxford and Cambridge developed folding implants inspired by origami, which expand in the brain, potentially making epilepsy surgeries safer. 电极可以穿过6毫米的手术隙, 一旦展开, 覆盖面积将增加五倍, 减少需要进行脑部手术的时间, 降低感染风险, 缩短恢复时间. The electrodes can fit through a 6mm surgical slit and cover an area five times larger once unfurled, reducing brain surgery needed, lowering infection risk, and cutting recovery times. 该团队的目标是在两年内完善该设备并开始在英国进行试验. The team aims to refine the device and start UK trials within two years.
