  • membrane is also exposed, making it an important but often overlooked entrance for viruses.
  • The protective eyewear is ergonomically designed to provide full cover and efficient sealing of the eye area and would protect the healthcare professionals from hazardous aerosols as well as other suspended particles.
  • A team of CSIR-CSIO scientists, led by Dr Vinod Karar, Chief Scientist and Head, Optical Devices and Systems, has come up with the affordable and innovative precision manufacturing technique.
  • The goggles are designed with a flexible frame to provide a tighter sealing with the skin of the face covering the eyes and surrounding areas, and can also accommodate prescription glasses.

[August-2020]


CSIR-NCL & BEL Manufacture Oxygen Enrichment Unit

  • Oxygen enrichment units have special significance in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. Patient recovery can be faster with supplemental oxygen in the early stages. It can reduce the number of patients who will need ventilators. 
  • Post-ventilator treatment patients can be served with this unit, thus reducing the demand of oxygen cylinders. Its portability makes it convenient for using such units in home care, villages and remote places.
  • The use of hollow fibre membranes to enrich oxygen. 
  • The Oxygen Enrichment Unit (OEU) is efficient in providing 35-40% oxygen concentration from the air with an adjustable flow rate of 0.5-15 lit/min. 
  • Atmospheric air at 5-6 bar pressure is passed through the membrane cartridge wherein the oxygen preferentially permeates through the membrane, due to intrinsic higher sorption capacity of oxygen into the membrane matrix.
  • The technology was licensed to NCL start-up, GEnrich Membranes. About 50 units were assembled and demonstrated in various forums, hospitals and primary health centres.
  • With the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, CSIR-NCL applied for certification of a prototype OEU to TUV, Bangalore, which was found to be qualified.

(The Gist of Science Reporter) CSIR-NCL Develops Nasopharyngeal Swabs

[August-2020]


CSIR-NCL Develops Nasopharyngeal Swabs

  • CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL), Pune, has developed an indigenous Nasopharyngeal (NP) swab for collecting samples from the throat cavity of COVID-19 patients. In the current pandemic scenario, global supplies of NP swabs are not dependable resulting in supply chain delays, escalating prices and variable quality.
  • Nasopharyngeal swab is a medical device with stringent specifications of quality, polymer grade, dimensions and sterilization. The NP swabs consist of a cylindrical plastic stick with a brush-like tip of synthetic bristles/flocks. Flocking is a very important processing step in the manufacture of medical swabs, which is to align the fine bristles in a parallel orientation on the stick head, much like a tooth brush, except that this has round uniform geometry and the NP swab bristles are of a micron diameter.
  • CSIR-NCL has transferred the process knowhow of indigenous NP swabs for sample collection to a Mumbai based chemical company under the COVID-19 technology transfer guidelines of CSIR.

(The Gist of Science Reporter) Tele-robotic Surgery: Replicating Surgeon’s Hands Minus the Tremors


(The Gist of Science Reporter) Tele-robotic Surgery: Replicating Surgeon’s Hands Minus the Tremors

[August-2020]


Tele-robotic Surgery: Replicating Surgeon’s Hands Minus the Tremors

  • The cutting-edge of remote medical practice can be seen in the emerging field of telerobotic surgery where a surgeon in high demand can perform procedures in multiple distant locations on the same day. Robotic Surgery is a method of performing surgery using very small tools attached to a robotic arm. 
  • The surgeon controls and manipulates the arm from a computer console. An electronic eye in the robot arm sends back a high definition 3-D image, magnified 10 times, which the surgeon can view on the computer screen: something not possible in conventional surgery. The surgeon uses controls in the console to manipulate special surgical instruments that are smaller and more flexible than the human hand. The robot replicates the surgeon’s hand movements and eliminates human shortcomings like hand tremors.
  • The first robotic surgery (of the prostate) was performed at AIIMS, Delhi, in July 2006, using the Da Vinci robotic system.
  • The world’s first-in-human robotic coronary surgery using a system from the US-based Corindus Vascular Robotics was performed in India on December 4 and 5, 2018. Five patients in the Apex Heart Institute in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, underwent procedures performed by Dr Tejas Patel, Chief Interventional Cardiologist of the Apex Heart Institute, from inside the Swaminarayan Akshardham temple in Gandhinagar, 32 km away.
  • Says Dr Patel: “The first human case of remote robotic PCI represents a landmark event for interventional medicine. The application of telerobotics in India has the potential to impact a significant number of lives by providing access to care that may not otherwise have been possible. For the first time in cardiology’s history, India will shine for this ground-breaking innovation.”
